Quote:Accordingly the PATRIARCE OF ALEXANDRIA THEOPHILUS finally demolished the Library in 391AD:
ëIn Alexandria all the buildings of the Temple of Serapis had a fate similar to the poetic tales of the Giantsââ¬Â¦during the Kingdom of Theodosius and presiding of Theophilus, the votive offerings were destroyed-And they fought the statues and the votive offerings so ëvaliantlyû that they not only triumphed but stole them as wellââ¬Â¦of the Temple of Serapis it was only the foundation stones they did not remove, and that because of the weight of the stones, that (the foundation stones) were immovable. These militant and avaricious ëbravesÃȉâ¬Â¦considered the desecration to be a commendable act. Then we were invaded by so called monks, a sort of people, who lead a pigââ¬â¢s life and are obviously deranged, perpetrating millions of unheard of evil acts, thinking these were acts of devotion.. At that time any man wearing a black robe had a tyrantââ¬â¢s power and could perpetrate any ugly act in public. To this ëvirtueû were people transformed by the new religionû.

John Chrysostom recruited mercenaries to systematically demolish the Greek majestic buildings:
ëJohn the Great (Chrysostom) gathered monks inflamed with the zeal of the Lord (fanatical monks), armed them with royal mandate and sent them against the heathen (Greek) shrines. The money paid to those working in demolition and to their assistants he did not obtain from the royal treasury (!) but from wealthy ladies he convinced to contribute so they would obtain the blessing of the Lord with the splendor of their faith. In this way he razed to the ground the rest of the buildings (Temples, monuments, graves, houses)û.

Which also contains - in direct translation - The Codes Of Theodosius And Justinian (where christianism bans Hellenismos, the heathenism of the empire, on pain of death):
Quote:From the legislation at the height of the Romeo-Christian times (4th and 5th centuries AD) we can get an understanding of the method used to achieve violent conversion of the Greeks to Christianity and their compulsory ësalvationû:
ëWe decree, that all sacred places and temples (of the Greeks) shall be demolished by order of the local authorities and shall be purged by virtue of raising the sign of the Christian Faithââ¬Â¦ If someone is brought before a competent judge with sufficient proof that he has not followed the letter of this law he shall be condemned with the death sentenceû.
Emperor Theodosius and Valentinianus to Isidorus Praetor of Praetorium 14 November 435
ëAll temples in the cities and in all locations (of the world) must be shut down.. Should anyone, whatever his authority may be, fail to observe (this law) he will be punished by decapitation.
Justinian Code 1.10
Emperor Constantius A to Taurus Praetor of the Praetorium December 354AD.
ëSuch acts, (anything not Christian was considered pagan) should they continue to be perpetrated (or should they be denounced) even in some meadow or home, that meadow or home will be confiscated and added to the property of those holiest of men (the priests of the Christian Religion ) whereas its owner who consented to the desecration of the place will be fired from (any) public office he holds, lose his belongings and, after physical torture with appropriate metal instruments, he will be led to exile for lifeû.
Justinian Code 1.10.8
Emperor Leon and Anthemius to Dioskorus Praetor of the Praetorium. Delivered in 472 AD
ëWe order our magistrates, but also those instructed by our God-loving bishops to scrutinize according to the law all cases of disrespect related to the Greek religion so they are not allowed to occur, but should they occur, to be punished accordinglyââ¬Â¦None (no Greek) shall have the right to inherit by benefit of a will (their belongings) or to donate anything to people or places that have been noted to commit the desecration of Hellenism.. whatever is donated or inherited in such a manner will be confiscated. With this pious legislation (we decree) that all punishments be kept in effect, with which previous (Christian) kings had threatened to punish the Greek fallacies and which (punishments) were meant to secure the orthodox faithû.
Justinian Code 1.10.9 also B1, 1,19) and Nomocanon 6,3
ëBecause certain individuals have been detected, (although they were baptized in Christ) to be possessed by the fallacy of the impious filthy Greeks and to be performing acts that justifiably enraged our philanthropic Godââ¬Â¦These will be subject to corresponding punishment in a spirit of leniencyââ¬Â¦(!) If they insist in their Greek fallacy they will be subject to the capital punishment. If they have not yet been worthy of the holy baptism they will have to present themselves at our holy churches, together with their spouses and children and all persons of their household, to be instructed in the true faith of Christ. After they have been instructed and have rejected the fallacy with which they were previously possessed, they will have to ask for the holy baptism. Otherwise, let it be known that should they neglect to ask (to ask themselves for the Holy Baptism) they will lose all civil rights, and will not be allowed to own property , in land or in goods.
ALL THEIR POSSESSIONS WILL BE REMOVED and they will be left in poverty and additionally will be subject to capital punishments.
We will hinder any lesson (by closing schools) taught by those suffering from the disease and mania (of learning) of the impious Greeks, so they will not be allowed any more
to pretend they are teaching, while in fact they are corrupting their pupilsââ¬â¢ souls with false truths.
Should (therefore) such a person appear who will not come to our holy churches with all his relatives and household, he shall be punished with the aforementioned punishments.
We hereby decree that children must be baptized immediately, without postponement while they are of small age, (compulsory baptism of infants) while those of older age must spend their time in our holy churches and be instructed in the Scriptures and the (biblical) texts. When they have come to their senses and rejected the ancient (ancient-Greek) fallacies, they will be allowed to receive the holy baptism to secure the true faith of Orthodox Christians in the future. Those that hold military or other (public) Office, or posess great fortune and have come forward to be baptized (pretending to be faithful) to avoid the consequences but leave their spouses and children and other kin or members of their household (believing) in the Greek fallacies , we decree that their fortunes be confiscated (!) their civil rights annulled and that they will be subject to punishment worthy of their crime, since they have obviously attained the Holy Baptism without true faith. We bring these laws into effect on account of those rogue Greeksû.
Justinian Code 1.10.10
A single choice for Greeks [color="#FF0000"]ë Baptized or Deadû[/color] ââ¬Â¦Of course in theory ëwhoever wishes may follow meû MATHEW 16.24
[color="#800080"](AKA convert-or-kill, which christians still call "freedom to convert/human rights/religious freedom" in their 'secular' lingo. So, the biblical origin for that double-speak is Mathew 16.24).[/color]
Faced with these annihilating punishments of the ësaviorsû, exile, decapitation, confiscations of all property, closing of schools, annulment of civic rights, the disgrace of compulsory catechism, torture and legal capital punishment of any of their followers, as well as the ingenious deprival of any possibility to feign conversion to Christianity, survival left as only choice the conversion to hristianity for the Greeks, who were persecuted like the worst of criminals.
Those (thus) was Hellenism converted to the Christian faith.
THIS HAS BEEN THE UNFORTUNATE ANNIHILATING REACTION OF THE IUDAEOCHRISTIAN
RELIGION AGAINST THE PROMETHEIC AND WORLD- ILLUMINATING HELLENIC CIVILIZATION.
