There was more than just trying to collect taxes.

The Continental Congress was made illegal and the colonies were the subjects of KIng George.

They had no representation in government.

Heck, I’m not here to argue about the validity of the American Revolution.

The subject at hand is, are we the New Roman Empire ?

No, we’re not

Well considering that America is supporting homosexuals, false reglious worship and the porn captial of the world

Yes we are the Roman Empire and pagan
 
again…these things have been happening in Europe for far longer than here in America.
 
But unlike Europe America has influence all over the world so the scandal is greater and we support coups of governments we don’t like which is what Rome did too
 
The porn capital of the world? There are more restrictions here on a lot of “vices” than in most of Europe…heck , in my state we just this year abolished an old “blue law” prohibiting sales of alcohol on Sunday…

Anyone who thinks the US is the “porn capital” of the world has obviously never heard of Amsterdam lol……

Yes…when I was in Munich nearly 18 years ago, I remember getting lost and ending up down a street which I’m pretty sure was the “red-light” district…quite the shock!

Oh Munich’s another place I’ve heard stories lol…Frankfurt and Stockholm too 😛
 
funny you should mention Frankfurt…my mom was over there a few years ago for St. Chrisopher’s Day…which has basically been turned into a gay pride parade.
 
*sigh…I know 😦 it’s sad how saint’s days are turned into secular events…St. Patrick’s Day here is an example of that as well.

America has it’s problems, but I believe most of the world is better off from her existing. You don’t have to look any further than WW2, which could have turned out very differenly without the U.S.’ production power and fighting force.

France before the Revolution was strong and Holy

Hardly. If France didn’t have severe problems, the king would have never called for the Estates General.

France lost the Seven Years War and was in deep straits that led to the revolution.
 
French military aid and ecnomic support for the patriot cause lead to the French Revolution
 
mrsdizzyd84 - ALL ‘empires’ have their day - including the one upon which it was said, ‘the sun never set’, the British Empire.

Slaves could be killed without question.

Arena’s in order to watch people tortured to death for entertainment, were the norm.

Sexual immorality along with worship of pagan gods was the norm.

There were no elections, no free speech nor freedom of religion.

American citizens can be killed by the Govt without question.

We have all sorts of forms of violent entertainment - granted it’s not actually watching people get slain (yet) but it feeds the same base passions.

America is incredibly sexually deviant. We have every sexual sin Rome had and more. We have porn that would make any Roman blush at our fingertips 24/7.

Worship of pagan gods and false idols is widespread in America

American elections are turning into a massive sham, America is becoming more of an oligarchy on a daily basis. Free speech and freedom of religion? Those are being attacked daily and are in severe jeopardy of being lost. Freedom of religion has already been almost totally perverted to the point where we have de facto from FROM religion.
 
I’m essentially paraphrasing St Augustine.

He once wrote to the effect, " there are those, having found themselves Catholic, remain so because they’re attracted to the doctrines and rituals. However, they’ve yet to become Christians."

Then there are those who became Christian, then Catholic. They are the backbone of the Church.

In other words, there are those who have religion, but no faith.

Then there are those who have faith and religion is how they respond to faith.

Name one instance where this happens.

Yeah, video games. However, visit some parts of the world and you’ll see real violence.

Apparently you’re not living in America. This isn’t happening as you wrote.

People still have the freedom to vote. We still have the freedom to speak out against the government without fear of being arrested and convicted.

I still practice my religion freely as do everyone else.

I don’t know where you’re getting your lopsided information.
