1. What legal measures did Diocletian take against the Christians in 303? What were some of the objectives of this legislation? Were these tactics effective? Why or why not?
We've gone over this upmteen stupid times. Why are you making me write it out in a formal answer? You've lectured on it for a week and a half and I'm going into a second discussion on this tomorrow. Diocletian was pretty straightforward. Sacrifice to the gods, you idiots, or I'm going to pwn your fugly Xtian faces. WHY IS THIS HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND? WHY DO WE KEEP HAVING TO GO BACK OVER THIS GROUND EVERY FUCKING CLASS?????
2. How did the laws of Constantine and his son Constantius seek to regulate the Jews and other seemingly problematic religious groups so strictly? Why do you think that these measures were promulgated at the same time that Christianity was given such favored status? Why was it deemed necessary to make these exceptions to the practice of religious toleration embodied in the Edict of Milan (313)?
Oh my fucking Christ. Who gives a shit. It’s ten thirty at night and this has to be typed out to satisfy your dumb ass. I should write it out in Victorian goddamn cursive, just so it’s not easy for you to read. Teaching isn’t supposed to be easy. Fuck you and your stupid times new roman. I’m giving up computers because they give me headaches. How do you like them apples?
...
It's late. I'm tired. I'm swamped with tons, literally, of homework.
The Snapes in my life want 4,000 feet of parchment on the topics of Koranic scripts and Egyptian Arabic, all of early Christianity, Saint Foi (whoever the hell that is) and all the cases and declensions of Latin words by Monday. There will be quizzes.
I really need a solid night's sleep.
