>>17163266I'm not arguing as to why rome fell, although christianity played a huge role in its regression to barbarism and the erosion of classical values of reasoning, human advancement, philosophy and anthropocentrism and gave way to self-flagellation, nihilism, virtue-signaling based on nothing but an imaginary mental state (You are not as faithful as I am! I'm your better, and you are hellbound), and doomerism (man cannot save himself, ever - only by looking at a jew can there be hope).
In fact, history repeats itself so frequently that I can provide you a perfect parallel to the european condition beneath "peak christianity". Islam.
During the Golden age, wealthy caliphs found themselves controlling large swathes of prosperous land, and eager to make a name for themselves became patrons of science. Arab cities such as Mecca and Medina became famous across the world for their places of learning and cultural exchange. In this period, the arabs made their only yet significant contributions to humanity in the realest sense of the word - the breakthroughs arabs made in mathematics (entirely replacing our obsolete and clumsy Roman numeral system), optics, and medicine are accomplishments we still benefit from today.
And like in Europe, the arab age of enlightenment ended just as swiftly as soon as religious ideologues took power. Reason was discarded in favor of faith. The pursuit of empyrical truth was cast away in favor of "Obey the Q'ran or die", immediately antagonizing Europe and the rest of the world and cutting all significant cultural and trade for practically until very today. This is what your abrahamism brings to people of all kinds - backwards savagery and ire that others refuse to accept their dogma.
