In school I never really fit and was usually teased for different reasons. This eventually led to me becoming depressed. I don’t remember why I decided to try alcohol just that in the moments when I would drink I felt better about life. This steadily became more as getting a hold of alcohol became easier the older I was. On August 9th, 2012 that came to a…

MI6 told me that if he saw me poking around, he would shoot me right on the spot without procrastination, I guess Mr.Blunt and his affiliates were wrong about Yassen…

Because of misery and my conniving bullies, I had no friends and I was the odd one out. I shrewd like any other kid in my previous years, but my misery just kept growing stronger every heartbeat. The depressing memories reoccurred like a faulty record player. I causally walked up to my locker, my depression following…

Legal Measures/Imperial patronage to Christianity: As stated before, during Constantine's time as Emperor the benefits of imperial patronage to the christian community, and church were enormous. Most important is that Constantine gave signal to a kind of change in regime that would end up reaching down, and bringing up the Christian church as a force not to be trifled with in the imperial society as well as with the largely pagan Roman state.
