There were signs in the sky, but I did not know

[sovay]

If one more student tries to tell me that Constantine was responsible for making Christianity the official state religion of the Roman Empire, I'm going to stab them with a Chi-Ro.

(I agreed to help grade papers for a friend with a classful of undergraduates. I despair of humanity.)

Rather severely blasphemous, probably, but cathartic.

Not so much worse than stabbing them with a cross-hilt sword,* I should think, but if it would make you feel better you could strike them with a Thor's hammer instead--not as symbolic, maybe, but appropriate.

*If you were Catholic I'd advise you to find a Jesuit historian for when you went to Confession afterwards. I'm sure he'd be understanding and let you off with no more than a couple of Hail Marys.
