In reply to Rev. Robert Mayes.

For God's sake.... will someone please read what I actually wrote before responding with what they THINK I wrote....

I never said Christianity caused Rome to fall. Besides, even if I had, I'm certainly not going to let St. Augustine convince me otherwise. (gee, I'm sure there's NO bias in his explanation)

All I had said is that Rome fell AS CHRISTIANITY (not because of) became more common place. I even immediately followed it up with: "However, neither that nor becoming “more and more subjective in its morality” is why the Roman Empire fell."

Finally, I ended with "There are many reasons leading to the decline and fall of the Roman Empire."

It's bad enough when regular joes respond on impulse without listening (reading in this instance), but come on, can we get a little more out of our pastors?
