Julian

Julian the Emporer, the grandson of Constantine, was a pagan.  He read a lot and decided that Christianity was impractical for business.  All this self-denial, living simply, loving your enemy, just did not work for the Empire.  In other words, he tool Christianity seriously and did not try and change or adapt it to his wants.  Look at us today.  Do we not go to church and do what suits us?  We believe with our heads, but are Julian at heart.  At least he was honest about it.
