The Christians then picked up the stick and spent a half-dozen centuries clubbing Pagans in the Roman Empire and turned their attention to Northern and Eastern Europe to murder Pagans there well into the Late Middle Ages.

The Eagle is supposed to be taking place in 2nd-Century Roman Britain, which is only proper given its subject matter: the missing IX &#8220;Spanish&#8221; legion (legio IX Hispana) and its eagle.

		<description><![CDATA[So what’s with this Christian tree worship? It isn’t enough to plant the birth of your god on the birthday of gods who already celebrated December 25 as their birthdays; you have to worship their trees now too?
