There may well have been instances when Christians were thrown to the lions and, if so, this would more likely have been during the Great Persecution of Emperor Diocletian, which began in 303 CE and lasted until 305 in the West, but continued until 311 in the East. Edward Gibbon ('The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire'), discussing the problems in sorting fact from legend, says, "The scanty and suspicious materials of ecclesiastical history seldom enable us to dispel the dark cloud that hangs over the first age of the church."

Why did Romans blame and punish the Christians for all kinds of disasters?
There is no real evidence that the Romans ever punished the early Christians for any kind of disaster. The preferred official reaction to the presence of Christians was that if the Christians were discreet about their refusal to worship the Roman gods, they could be ignored. A Christian tradition holds that, in the mid-first century, Nero persecuted the Christians living in Rome because he blamed them for the Great Fire, but historians have been unable to find any evidence of such persecution or even a reason for Nero to want to blame them unjustly. The Romans believed that by refusing to worship the gods, Christians were risking divine wrath. So, while there is no real evidence that this occurred, there may have been isolated instances of Christians being punished because their lack of faith in the Roman gods, (for which they were accused of being atheists) which supposedly brought disasters on the people.

Why did American missionaries want to Christianize the Philippines?
One answer is that the Spaniards were fervent Christians and Christianity, at its very heart, is a missionary religion. The Jews brought Christianity to the Romans, and the Romans brought Christianity to the Spanish. The Spanish then brought it to the Philippines. Christianity is the greatest news that men have ever gotten, the very basis of it is to be spread and propagated.
