How do you reply to a person who says the martyrdom of Christians in the Roman Empire is largely made up and exaggerated?

That the martyrdom of early Christians is a historical fact and it would be up to them to provide information to the contrary from a reliable source.

According to this person, it only happened sporadically, and it was never widespread.

Congratulate them for having read this book by a professor from Notre Dame and tell them to keep reading more history

That sounds like those questions from people who say the Holocaust never took place

 

( which I think some people in Europe actually believed never happened and the allies at one point marched a small town through the death camp and made them see what had actually happened , or something close to , im paraphrasing and going off topic. )

 

but in those instances as already stated  I  agree it is on those who deny it from happening to prove that it did not.

 

simply saying something did not happen is not proof. and not having proof that it did not happen is still not proof.

And if they have read that book, congratulate them for getting sucked in by its political slant. Oh, and yeah, keep reading more history. :)
