.... is an interesting subject.

I think Christianity was the first religion followed by more than one national or ethnic group. Christians offer the opportunity to "live" after they die. I don't think we (Jews) have anything like that. Also back in the day, life was fairly short and it was probably nice to have something else to look forward to.

I have often thought that is the basis of the popularity and widespread acceptance of Christianity and the basis of antisemitism. That is probably a "duh" comment by me, but obviously, I am not a history major.
