very very good in economic well being .
after accepted "christianism "
as state religion
the empire gradually melted out .
Uhh...It's christianity. And it's not because of christianity, but it's because the last few Roman emperors were incompetent.

The Roman Empire got too big to handle. No electricity so no rapid communications. Debt also killed the empire. They overspent their way to oblivion.

i'm inclined to think so. christianity overtook the pagan, gained the power and became the new order
It is worth noting that for the last 150 years of its history, with only a few relapses into paganism, Rome was "officially" Christian.
God's Holy Trousers!!
It is also worth noting that there's no evidence that Christianity had any effect on the social or political structure of the empire.
Before the (supposed) mass conversion to the jesus-cult, the Roman Empire was a grossly corrupt, brutally authoritarian state whose existence rested on and politics were controlled by it's military.
After the (official) mass conversion to Christianity, the Roman Empire was...
the EXACT SAME.
powerpia, I take it that English is not your first language?
shareRome tried to destroy christian beliefs. Didnt work. They saw more and more people going chirstian and to have power you need to control the mob, so instead of trying to root it out, made it their own. And they in control again, because thats what religion is, means to control the mob.
In short, popes are nothing more then roman emperors.
Look up a map of roman empire at its peak, then overlay with christian belief when rome "fell". Its exactly the same.
Oh dont go dancing in joy just yet islam, your filth is just the same as any other. Prey on weak minded people. Koran was written as an answer to romes bible, it came years later. Its just a copy, written differently yes, but the end goal is the same, control the ignorant weak minded mob.

That's why faith can be similar to religion, but also very different.

Weak minded are college student who can't think for themselves, believing everything their fat college professor tells them.
Liberalism destroyed the empire, just like it's done to the USA under Obama.
share👍
shareI don't disagree about the Left's role in the decline of the late, great USA
but where do you see liberalism in ancient Rome?
Christianity and moral conservatism helped destroy Rome alongside a bloated bureaucracy and a failing economy. Christian morality is an evil morality dedicated to an evil false foreign god and it originated as a heretical Jewish death cult.
Reject Christianity, "traditionalism", and hook-nosed moral conservatism. Embrace paganism (and I mean actual paganism, not that hippie Wicca BS or any Nordicist garbage)
Hail Jupiter, King of the Gods
So did other "barbarians" who happened not to be pagan, but Christian, e.g., Alaric who sacked Rome in 410, who, along with his troops, was a baptized Christian of the Arian sect.
shareActually Christianism adoption was a consequence of the decadence of Rome. Many factors added to destroy the empire, among the most important, corruption, laziness, immigrants, feminism and hedonism. Same as what's happening to Europe and Islam, and to what could happen to the US.
