The picture is just as funny as the article. Good stuff on Constantine, but to get really behind your theory we'd want to see a reasonable counter-argument on Constantine's "greatness". Not from a religious-freak tho, we'd want to hear a credible historian's take on why Constantine wasn't a bloody murderous mess of a man, just to compare notes. But it's very interesting from the standpoint that Constantine did the most to solidify and perhaps alter (or even make up) the entire story of Jesus. It's always fun to look at the pagan religious and find the myriad of similarities in the stories. For instance "Rah" is the sun, almost literally, and in Christianity it's the "son" who is God on earth. That's loose affiliation. But where it gets strong is the Heaven and Hell concept which of course was pushed heavily by John the Baptist's inherited Galilean ministry of Jesus. Hades lives literally in the hot magma under the Earth's crust, while Zeus lives far above the clouds in the heavens, with an address right near Yahweh's home.

Also interesting from a physics standpoint, gravitational pull causes Hades, and "God" is outward, one must overcome gravity to reach Heaven. It's like our race has ALWAYS known that we must soar above our rock, and not get nailed down to it or it all ends in fire which kills from within. And is not Einstein a prophet, the king of gravity?

But we're a sports jock mentality, so we're only interested in any of this from the standpoint that Jordan Spieth and Zach Johnson wear their religions on their Under Armour sleeves. And it works. So maybe Constantine knew something about overcoming adversity on the field of battle (mentally at least). .... or whatever you wanna tell yourself!

Thanks for the inspiration for a future article regarding religion and sports/athletes.
