Lol what? All of Europe united under the Roman empire is somehow worse than a bunch of poor, bickering kingdoms. Speaking of the Romans, they coincidently declined in 200 AD with the rise of Christianity. That's the definition of degeneracy. Likewise, Nazi Europe banded together under Pagan leadership to defeat the Soviet Horde. -------------------- https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/wp20081201/Early-Christians-in-the-Greek-World/ "Yet, neither Jesus nor his apostles nor any of the writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures were Greeks. **In fact, they were all Jews.**​—Romans 3:1, 2." "At first, **Jewish religious fervor resisted the threat of paganism** that accompanied the influx of Greek thought" "By the second century B.C.E., the Jews had translated many of their works of literature into Greek and were composing new ones directly in that language. This played a significant role in bringing knowledge of **Israel’s history and religion** to the Gentile world. " "some early Jewish Christians were at first hesitant about opening the Christian congregation to Gentile converts. Hence, **when it became evident that God was willing to accept Gentiles**, the apostles and older men in Jerusalem made clear that such converts were required to abstain from blood, fornication, and idolatry. (Acts 15:29)" This proves that Jews were not native to Pagan Europe, and also that Christianity had its origins in Jewish subverters.
