Debauchery of pre-Christian socieites

Christianity played an important role in transforming Western society.

Thank God.

However, now we seem to be reverting backward as secular humanists begin to take over.

Now we are returning to the co-ed bathroom, normalizing sexual deviancy, and falling in love with infanticide once again.

Is it a coincidence that as Christianity wanes society begins to look more like that of ancient Rome?

And we enable it by letting the barbarians at the gate, immigrate.

I think you might appreciate this very recent Op by Victor Davis Hanson:

Which helps explain the state of the GOP and the country.

Thanks for that.

Yes; along came Christianity....and the Inquisition years.
Jew....torture and death.
Atheist....torture and death.
Saracen....torture and death.
Agnostic....torture and death.
Accused of witchcraft....torture and death.
Claiming the church is wrong in its ideology....accused of heresy and torture and death.
Denying Earth was the center of the known universe....torture and death.
Have we found a pattern here?
Let's fast forward to Christianity today....
Gay/Lesbian.....preach intolerance and hatred.
Atheist....preach intolerance and hatred.
Living together unmarried....preach intolerance.
To see how Christianity would act if it were in charge of a government, one need only look at Islam. Because of its false prophet claiming to be the last prophet, they haven't advanced since the 11th century.
At least the animist religions and Jainism are innocuous.

Ironically, for all its debauchery, Rome ruled most of Western Europe. Although not the main cause, the decline of Rome continued once it became Christian. In fact it completely came apart at the seams soon thereafter. There might be a lesson there.

True. But also, Rome began transforming western society with republicanism.

At first a kingdom, Rome evolved into a republic, adopting a constitution, creating offices with enumerated powers, expanding its territories, and providing for citizen assemblies to participate in legislative and war-making privileges. Rome was a prosperous and happy society. But, as befalls republics, the ambitious and the designing, over the years, eroded Rome’s institutions until the last Consul of Rome, Julius Caesar, fancied himself a dictator and brought the republic’s collapse to its finale. His successors upheld semblances of republicanism while Rome evolved into a stronger, more oppressive empire. Around the empire’s second century, when Trajan was emperor, Rome’s territorial expansion had completely ended, considerable limitations had been placed on the rights of citizens, and the General Persecutions had begun.

Rome had become authoritarian, power being delegated and hereditary. Its collapse was inevitable, despite Constantine's recognition of religious liberty.

I think you're right, though. The erosion of Christian virtue is the erosion of virtue. The erosion of republican virtue is also the erosion of virtue.

Christianity and republicanism were the bedrock of American virtue and liberty. The erosion of both institutions is America's collapse into mediocrity.
