"Dark times "is a little-known story about how a militant religion deliberately attacked and suppressed the teachings of the classical world, marking the beginning of an age of unquestioning adherence to the"one true faith". Despite our perception that the early Christians were meek and gentle, humbly going to martyrdom, singing hymns of love and praise, in reality everything was different. They were cruel, ruthless, and fundamentally intolerant. Unlike the polytheistic world, in which the emergence of another religion did not contradict the existence of the old ones, the new ideology argued that Christianity is the only right way, truth and light, and that any other faith is false and must be destroyed. In the period from the first to the sixth century, those who did not conform to the beliefs of Christianity were persecuted in all possible ways: social, legal, financial and physical. Old altars were overturned, temples were destroyed, statues were chopped to pieces, and priests were killed.
