ERRATUM: a technical mistake in my statement on Doura Europos: the synagogue, temple, and church were NOT in the same room. The exhibition "Pagans, Jews, and Christians at Roman Dura-Europos," ISAW, did that for curatorial purposes "to illustrate coexistence". (h/t Dr. R. Tomb) But it was correct that the synagogue had human representation. "the three communities were “living, working, and worshiping next to one another” in an apparently open environment."
The the words it uses that this site has seen least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone — nothing here is a summary of this one.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
