Wizja religii cesarstwa rzymskiego według Tertuliana na podstawie Apologetyka
The vision of religion of the Roman Empire according to Tertullian based on Apologeticum

Summary/Abstract: Tertullian, a zealous follower of Christianity, could not have accepted that pagans believed in gods in such a naive way. Gods which do not exist and their cult practices which were rather for people than deities. The follower requires that a deity makes his desires come true, and the follower limits only to offer, which the best part is taken to himself anyway. There was not anything sacred in such behavior. Tertullian witnessed only an opportunity to binge and for drunkenness to occur during religious practices. It seems to be that this behavior affected Tertullian so much that he left the cult of pagan lesser gods, where everything is rather unstructured and very human. On the other hand Christianity, where everything is structured, and reasonable results in a more divine presence.
