Comparing the Future Demise of America with the Roman Empire

If anyone knows anything about history, they know at least a little bit of the Roman Empire. I do not know the names and dates of this history, but I do know the general direction that the Roman Empire took from its rise to power and vast empire to its final demise.

Now when the Roman Empire first became a world power of its day she was a mighty nation to behold. She had an emperor and also a senate. For the most part this empire was a very strong moral nation. She had a powerful and highly motivated and trained army. The Roman Empire dominated the world. She had excellent sailors and had the most powerful navy of the then known world. The fighting might of her army was known everywhere and greatly feared and respected. So what went wrong?

From what I have read and looked into about this mighty empire I can see several things that went wrong with her and compare the same path to the American Empire. First and foremost was immorality and perversion invaded her citizens. The sexual immorality became rampant like a disease and decayed her from within. Homosexuality ran rampant which threw her even further into decay. The lust for blood and violence also permeated her inner workings. The infamous gladiator battles, the feeding of Christians to the lions, and the lust for power became as rotted meat, destroying the very fiber of this once fabulous and powerful nation. I believe the final nail in her coffin was when she hired mercenaries to fight her wars for her. Finally she was no longer able to resist her enemies and was finally conquered. But the fall began long before the actual defeat from her enemies.

Now let us look at America. I know I am going to stir the pot so to speak by what I am about to say. I speak the truth like it or not, and everyone has the right to express what they believe to be the truth so here goes. First, America was founded on biblical principles. Morality was the norm instead of the exception. I know that there will be those that say look at the history and how can you say such a thing? Simple, America was founded foremost on the principle of freedom to worship God. It was not founded on Freedom of religion that came later. The separation of church and state was put there to insure no religious organization would be dictating any policy outside of biblical principles.

Secondly, America has long since left that wonderful ideology and forces with in are causing her decay and eventual fall, just like what happened to the Roman Empire. Sexual immorality runs rampant, Homosexuality and other perversions are at an epidemic scale. There are those that fight tooth and nail every day to remove God from everything that has to do with America. What a sad and tragic mistake. Since prayers and the bible was removed from schools. Murder, unwed teenage pregnancies, violent crime, rape, students having sex with their teachers and the list goes on. I look at the millions of unborn babies that are murdered by abortion every year and I want to cry. We used to be able to hold our head high and say yes we are Americans. We are now hated by most of the world. They look to us for a standard and we failed them. Pornography is rampant in the country and child predators are on the upswing. This is almost identical to what led to the fall of the Roman Empire. I could list a lot more disgusting and abominable things that are happening in this country today. Everyday America's insides rot more and more while the moral majority sits on their hands and does nothing about it.

Finally, America does hire mercenaries now. This country has lost the stomach to do what has to be done to keep and maintain her freedom. It is an abomination when volunteer soldier's dessert, and refuse to do the duty they have sworn to do. We want our pie but let someone else bake it. We want our freedom but pay someone else to die for it. We want freedom but how dare we think anyone else would want freedom. All these things point to the demise of our wonderful country. God blessed this country but how long will He continue to bless an immoral and perverted country like this one is becoming more and more.

In conclusion I want the reader to know I love my Country dearly. I am a Christian and am heart broke over the direction this country is going. I am also a disabled veteran. I have served my country and it infuriates me to see what is being done to what used to be known as America the Beautiful.
