@TradEmily
like I am now.

You live in a cold hillside as a peasant?

@FreddieUK I am not imagining being 'rich' like an empress. But in the top Roman 1% as I am today in the 1%...

@TradEmily Just switch off all the power to your home and don't use anything invented after the fall of the Roman Empire and you'll get some idea of how much better your life would be.

Well, you have your Emperor, all you need now is something that looks like the things that were taught by Jesus Christ and then you have the other bit you want. Your history is somewhat awry. Augustus decreed a personality cult based on himself. He was no promoter of Christianity in any form.

My own view is that the worst thing that ever happened to the Church was for it to be taken over as a state religion by Emperor Constantine. Keep the Church out of politics.

The Roman empire crumbled little after adopting Christianity, after roughly a millennium of polytheism

The United States is already well embarked in the process that led to its fall, at only 1/5 the lifetime of the Roman state.

Every attempt to recreate Rome has failed, fails and will continue to fail miserably.

@TradEmily Here they say, you can't have a drunk wife and a full bottle

@Elessar well there's nothing inherently incompatible with what I'm saying.
FreddieUK · 70-79, M
@TradEmily But that's the point; there is.

The problem there is there's always been an inverse relationship between the church's political power and spiritual power. When Christian's were being tortured to death it couldn't be beat! Once it got into government, it did a better job of telling people what to do, but wasn't so good at spreading the message

Traitor to the ideals of our founding fathers. You do not deserve the blessings of liberty that they fought so hard for.

...and don't forget the fall of ancient Rome. The USA is going down that same path, so I think your American model of Rome is already in place.

You want Trump to put to death his rivals and imagined rivals?
