Continuing the discussion from Early Christians Put to Death for "Cannibalism"?:
"For I myself, too, when I was delighting in the doctrines of Plato, and heard the Christians slandered, and saw them fearless of death, and of all other-things which are counted fearful, perceived that it was impossible that they could be living in wickedness and pleasure. For what sensual or intemperate man, or who that counts it good to feast on human flesh, could welcome death that he might be deprived of his enjoyments, and would not rather continue always the present life, and attempt to escape the observation of the rulers; and much less would he denounce himself when the consequence would be death?2

{The Second Apology of St. Justin Martyr Addressed to the Roman Senate}
**Chapter 12. Christians proved innocent by their contempt of death**
