What are some of the issues that divided pagan Romans and Christian Romans during the Roman Empire?
Celindine
Pagan Romans believed that there were many gods, and wanted the Christians to worship or at least recognize Roman gods in their worship as well as the Christian God. The Christians wouldn't do this, because it went against their religion to worship more than one god. The pagans also wanted the Christians to do ritualistic sacrifices to their gods, which the Christians also refused to do, as well as worship the Roman emperor. Not worshipping the Roman gods, not sacrificing to the gods, and not worshipping the emperor were all crimes of law in Rome, and so many Christians were killed for not doing these things. Christians were also accused of cannibalism (this is my body, eat this is remembrance of me...), and not contributing to society/laziness.
