The Romans accused the Christians of arson because the vigiles, or firefighters, testified that the Christians were hindering their firefighting efforts. Other witnesses said that they saw Christians running through the city carrying lit torches. When they were stopped, they replied that they were following orders. However, no one said that the Christians actually started the fire. It was known, even in ancient times, that the cause of the fire was an accident. The Christians were accused of spreading the fire.
The Romans hated everyone who would not worship their idols. Since Christians did not worship idols, [and since the Romans had Jesus (whom Christians regard as God in human form) crucified], the Romans sent many Christians into the arena to be killed for sport and entertainment.
The Romans told the Christians to worship their Ceasar, but the Chrisitans said that they should only worship God and Jesus......so that made the Romans really angry.
