How would history have been different If Christians never took over the Roman Empire? Would Rome still have fallen
>2k years of history and progress
>1 tv shows to trump it all out
people are moronic lmao
Rome wasn't atheist before Christians moron
>we wuz romans n shiet even doe they were christian
your post was about atheism which had nothing to do with the Roman empire
You do know Rome had religion prior to Christianity? This meme that religion has been holding humanity back is tired and reeks of low effort bait. Every great accomplishment humans have accomplished has been with the leadership and effort of religious people at every turn. The entire idea of Christian dark ages is not even true and lacks any backing.
Your pixel is too low quality, I can't read every word clearly, do you have another one?
Sorry about that. Compression is a b***h and I just love how Apple thinks automatically altering images without asking is okay. This one is actually smaller, but I think has better quality maybe?
thank you my friend
Yeah, im sure those inventions in china, were also Christianity's doing, i am right?
moron.
You mean all those “inventions” they got from India and Persia? moron
>The entire idea of Christian dark ages is not even true and lacks any backing.
The term was invented by a Christian to describe the period of the Papacy being run by a literal brothel dude.
That’s not what people mean when they use the term today. Stop being obtuse.
The West would be a superstitious pagan shithole like India
Honestly, this is probably true. If Yakub didn’t screw us all.
>Would Rome still have fallen
No, it would still exist more than 2000 years after it was founded. What do you think, moron?
>being sarcastic to a moronic atheist
He'll think you're serious.
I'm not religious either, I just think this thread is stupid
Kek. Every time I post something to this effect legions of athishits show up saying I'm inventing people and yet here it is being posted unironically/
It would have been some other eastern cult, Isis, Mithra or maybe Greco-Buddhism since it was compatible with the established pagan state. Roman spiritual decline was something the Romans acknowledged and their were reformers who wanted to limit the number of gods you were allowed to pray to but they didn’t make any headway before the Christians snagged an emperor.
Or Manichaeanism
1. Armenia or Ethiopia would have been the heartland of Christianity.
2. Rome would probably still have collapsed from being overstretched, corrupt and decadent.
3.As
notes, Roman paganism would have reformed and formalized, looking perhaps something like Hinduism but Mediterranean.
>Roman paganism would have reformed and formalized
It had been this the entire time, the Roman religion was incredibly formalized and organized. It's more likely that there would still be a theological power in the city of Rome with a bunch of peripheral Hellenistic cults, like the Isiac and Eleusian Mysteries, spread throughout the former Roman world.
Yes, Christianity has caused the fall of many great civilizations. Created by Yakub to kick off the Finno-Korean Hyper War
Christianity was a symptom, not the cause. How can you look at events like the crises of the third century and think "Yup, that's a healthy empire"
>what 2000 years of israelite worship does to a society
The problem wasn't really christianity but rather platonism which christianity incorporated, as platonism is very intellectually seductive but ultimately a dead end which ended up costing humanity at least a century of developement. However, it's worth noting that christtianity would likely have collapsed far earlier had it not used platonist philosophy.
Got a better option, bub?
Option in place of what? Epicurus was obviously closer to the truth, but unfortunately truth doesn't make for a good religion.
Star Trek has religion.
This meme is moronic.
The Vulcans are very logical and scientific while also being very religious.
My friend, your religion is called: Hollywood.
Christianity never took over the Roman Empire though.
Ehhhh… I’m not sure this is the hill to die on.
Mmm, powerfantasy.
If you interact with random enough, you can kind of mimic it, and generate unpredictable reactions. We all do it to a degree, but it can me manipulate to astronomical levels, especially through time, which few note.
>Would Rome still have fallen?
Yes, in fact the fall would have been worse and possibly faster. Also much less knowledge would have been preserved, without the monastic orders Europe likely would have become entirely illiterate.
This, unironically. We live in a world of science because our world started with Christian metaphysics
>muh heckin spaceships
OP pic is literal moron tier logic and you should be executed for posting it.
