  [h=4]Traveling around the empire was excruciatingly slow[/h]This map provides some perspective on just how big Roman territory was relative to the transportation technologies of the day. Created by researchers at Stanford, it estimates how long it took for someone leaving Rome to reach various locations around the empire. The Mediterranean was a big help in getting around — most coastal locations in the Western Mediterranean could be reached in under a week, and even far-flung coastal cities like Alexandria and Jerusalem could be reached in two weeks. But traveling to the interior was more difficult. Reaching the most distant points in the empire, such as Britain, could take close to a month. And of course, going from one end of the empire to the other could take even longer. The researchers estimate that it took 7 weeks to travel from Constantinople (at the eastern end of the empire) to London (in the far west). source
  

 

yeah, lets go back to the days of the inquisitions, the good ol days

back then if someone p'd you off, just call them a witch and set them on fire.... life was good

.

 

....as you would have us do here.....

 

stop trolling me, bro.

 

you troll yourself, I just like to show you ...........
If you have issues with Russia, I can help you out with a bit of advice...move there and fix it, do not attack America with you own personal projections about how we should give a damn.

 

I don't attack America, as I love my country.

 

It is not just people, it is also the perversion of justice. People are being locked away in prison for many years for committing minor crimes. With all the complex regulations covering nearly everything under the sun, some of these people did not even know they were committing a crime.

 

Nothing has changed but the labels. Instead of "witch" you can just call someone "racist" "sexist" "homophobic" etc...and hurt their business or end their career. So things really are still the same so you should be happy.

 

If God did step in to stop any all evil things mankind did what next? Would you whine because God didn't give everybody a new car for Christmas? You are thinking of Santa not God.

Humans have a dark side. This is a fact. When things happen like priests molesting children then we need to reflect on ourselves as a society. When you put all the blame and responsibility on God you put none on the priests who did the molesting or society. Surely you are capable of thinking deeper thoughts rather than blaming the ills of society on God.

 

um....what snow?

 

what's the difference, you attack every poster in here except for the anti-gunners and Muslims? oh and people who support Russia. Doesn't sound much like you really like it here.

 

what are you talking about?

 

And I do not argue with you. Of course the US has a higher standard of living. (In Russia, for example, recently there was a civil war.) It's a fact. But ....
1. See the trend. (10 - 15 years ago, Russia no one considered in the international arena. Now Putin in Forbes - Man of the Year)
2.And the most important thing. After the war, the standard of living in Russia and the US will be equal. And also worldwide. (for those who survive of course) And in this case, the Russians will have an advantage. Just because they are inurement and are able to survive.(the first phase will be the easiest for savages in the delta of the Amazon or in Papua New Guinea. I will say more - they do not notice the change)

But now in the US higher standard of living. This is true.

 

The word religion is probably you mean the Catholic sect? This is not serious. If the Pope has collaborated with Hitler, that does not mean - that Christianity is flawed. You still remember the crusades. We can not discuss the sectarians. Is not it?
It's like talking about Islam, through the actions of ISIS.

 

Bravo !!!

 

Here I thought the fall of Rome began when Christianity became the state religion?

 

A perfect illustration of your intelligence.

 

Think of Caligula.

 

perfect Liberal response............one that can expected when ever you get caught derailing a thread
sounds like Obamian to me
cops....................

 

I agree! 'Secular' meaning non-believers etc members blame God for anything bad that happens in their lives. I understand the concept all too well. Still, religious people know God has a plan for us and as with anything in the grown up world, usually we have to sacrifice, and work hard to earn the goodies. Living the life, the life of a Christian requires work both physical and spiritual. Also Christians must attempt to follow some rules and teachings of Jesus and the bible.

All true. Its so easy to blame God for everything when the a big chunk of the true reason (for our woes crime evil etc) might be the looking back at us from the mirror.

True the fall of rome was caused by many factors. I do not understand how Christianity could weaken any nation. If anything it would make them 'stronger'.

Caligula was emperor from AD 37-41. The Edict of Milan, which legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire occurred in AD 313. The sack of Rome by the Visigoths occurred in AD 410. So the Roman Empire lasted another 369 years after Caligula but less than 100 years after the legalization of Christianity.

 

Well, I agree with you that the fall of Rome was caused by many factors, however, I do not believe one of them was this idea that 'immorality' causes a civilization to collapse. There have been many civilizations that have collapsed for many other reasons and there have been many "immoral" civilizations that have survived for centuries.

What is funny is that Edward Gibbon, in his Magnum Opus, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, suggested that the reason for the fall of Rome was due to the spread of Christianity and the loss of traditional Roman values. I don't believe this is the cause either, but it is an interesting theory.

 

how about we not force religion, be it the Christians or Muslim religion on people, let them choose for themselves, or it is in fact like the inquisitions all over again... when the religious attack the Infidel's for being nothing more then Infidel's

An American would know that the founders of America opposed religion in government because religion has historically resulted in tyranny whenever it controlled government. We were created as a secular nation for a reason and that was to keep religious beliefs (opinions) out of our damn laws. In the US Supreme Court decision of Reynolds v United States in 1878 that addressed the 1st Amendment clause related to religion in government it established the laws should never be based upon religious opinion alone. It established the Constitutional precedent of "separation of church and state" that Christians have nefariously been violating throughout American history.

The United States need to strive to be a moral nation and not a religious nation.

Every American should know and understand that.

 

All people of faith. Some people believe in Jesus, the other in Mohammed or Buddha. Some does not believe in God - that is the most fanatical and violent belief. But all people of faith.

Perhaps you casually read my post .... I am sure that tolerance - the evil. Also, I am against tolerance in relation to idiots. perverts, criminals.
I think that tolerance is established for the sake of the villain, devoid of conscience.
