That's what I meant, not to imply any disrespect to others on the list.
If I remember my history correctly, Rome was already disintegrating,
and the conversion of Constantine helped unite it to some degree. The
"official" State Christianity adopted numeorus holidays, teachings,
and beliefs from the pagan system of worship in Rome, and they continue
to this day.
That form of Christianity was startlingly different from both the
teaching and behavior of Christ himself, and the early 1st century
congregations.

Is that your way of saying, "in name only?"
I can't think of any other way of interpreting those two sentences.

"My values are the only "right" ones. If you do not subscribe to
them with every bit of your mind, body, and soul you are damned! If
you do not I have the duty to send you to the maker for judgment
right now."
Are those the values you are talking about?
100 years ago the white, puritan, English descended, culture here
dictated right and wrong. They were right, and everyone else in the
world was wrong. Of course they came to America because they wanted
to get away from all those evil degenerate people in England.
Actually, though, to my way of thinking, intolerance and hypocrisy
was the only thing they actually practiced.
In my experience life is far better today then it was when I was a
kid 40-60 years ago. When self-rightous "moral" "nuclear family"
assholes had the "right" to abuse their kids.
And a thought to end this on, Rome never fell until after it became
Christian.
REMEMBER! I DID NOT START THIS RELIGIOUS/POLITICAL SHIT THREAD! IF
YOU DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT SOMEONES PHOTOS, THEN DON'T! OTHERWISE
STICK YOUR HEADS BACK UP YOUR ASSHOLES WHERE THEY BELONG.
PS: I didn't much care for the photos myself.
