Ben Carson: Gay Marriage To Blame For ‘Dramatic Fall of the Roman Empire’

Stupid shit, it was Christianity that fell the Roman Empire. Oh, I forgot, Rethugs are really, really bad at history.

Look at that lying smirk. He would say literally anything. He would also do anything.

Psychopath.

Well, considering that republicans are anti-education, this statement works out very well for them.

Elsewhere in the news, it was proven today that the Emancipation Proclamation is to blame for the "dramatic fall of the U. S. A."

I mean, after the 2015 Obergefell ruling, that's pretty much when the wokeness got super obnoxious. I think he had a point.

I wish he would get gravely ill

Didn't he die? Why does he keep coming back?

Perfect example of how poisonous religion can be. He is smart enough to be a very accomplished brain surgeon. But when it comes to anything to do with THE GAY, he becomes a blithering idiot entirely because of his stupid religious cult.

“Didn't he die? Why does he keep coming back?”

No, it is Cain who is no longer Abel to help me pervert the world.

What a moron. First, there was no same-sex marriage in the Roman Empire. Second, no historian believes that homosexuality had anything to do with the decline of the Roman Empire.

Why are Christians so obsessed with this, anyway?

Stupid MAGAt filth @r5 doesn’t realize that the really “woke” people despise the very idea of marriage itself - straight or gay, makes no difference.

Now fuck on back to Breitbart or Gab, where they just *love* you Gays for Trump.

Carson is not really all there. I have a great deal of difficulty he even managed to qualify as a doctor; perhaps he was a bit less sleepy when younger. Now he seems to be permanently sedated in a brain-fog.

ben carson took Regeneron Antibody cocktail treatment for Covid

Regeneron was created from the fetal stem cells from an abortion

donald took it and he thought it was a MIRACLE. He was able to get the same treatment for rudy giuliani, Ben Carson, Chris Christie and his idiot son, don jr

Dead Baby Juice

Actually, a big factor in the fall of the Roman Empire was that the rich just stopped paying taxes. The rich refused to pay a thing, the government let them get away with it, so the tax collectors effectively destroyed the middle class by taking all their money to maintain the state. By the time the Empire fell, there was basically nothing to Roman society by the upper class and the slave/underclass.

Sound familiar?

I mean—all this trans stuff—which happened immediately following gay marriage. I used to laugh at shit like that and so how absurd that is but unfortunately gays are being used by and conflated with extremist groups.

The West started to implode shortly after gay rights arrived. Russia, China, and the muslim world won't make the same mistake.

[quote]muslim world won't make the same mistake.

lol - Datalounge loves Islam. Gays love Islam.

Christians should probably stop commenting on the FALL of the ROMAN EMPIRE. They never know what the fuck they are talking about.

I think that he regularly lets the foods and beverages inside his refrigerator go way past their expiration dates far too frequently..

R5, no, that's when whining about wokeness got super annoying

R15 is a homophobe AND a transphobe

Freepers be gone.

R16 reminds me of this.

The Roman Empire actually fell from a massive Charley Horse.

Tired of Christians putting the blame for the mess they did on us.

Most of the evidence we have of Roman homosexuality comes from the late Republican and early imperial period - Catullus, Virgil, Martial all wrote in the first century before Christ or first century after Christ; the Satyricon and the Warren Cup were also made around that time.

The Rome that actually fell, the Rome of the 4th century, was the one made Christianity the official religion and banned homosexuality. As Edward Gibbon and Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, it makes much more sense to blame Christianity for the downfall of the empire.

Homosexuality flourished when the empire was young and expanding; in fact, the superb gay emperors Trajan and Hadrian, who did the most to expand and stabilize the empire, reigned in the second century. The Christian emperors were the ones who lost everything, and their religion imposed itself when the empire was dying and couldn't resist the barbarians from inside and out.

Someone got a D in his 10th grade Ancient History class

I would've thought Greek.

Lordy he’s an idiot-

The Roman Empire fell? Then who owns Cesar’s Palace?

Didn't he stab his mother?

(and the Roman Empire had gay marriage? who knew? DL should have told me this sometime.)

Carson didn't say it 'contributed in a major way'.

The reporter named Sean Mandell introduced the word 'major' not Carson.

Gay marriage is also to blame for volcanos, tornadoes and WandaVision.

"(and the Roman Empire had gay marriage? who knew? DL should have told me this sometime.)"

I don't know what the law said about same-sex marriage back then, but one of the Satires of Juvenal featured a lot of whining about a young man putting on a wedding gown and marrying a rich old queen.

Perhaps someone better-read than I will quote it for us, because I loathe Juvenal's whiging and I'm not going to slog through the damn things again. Having to read them in college was enough.

When he was running for president, he picked a random warrior tribe in Kenya, that had never been enslaved, saying he was descended from them just so he could one over Obama. The man may have excelled as a surgeon, but he's still a complete dolt.

Same old same old. Always have to find a group of “those people” to put the blame on.

R14 Oh, snap. That's already been happening here for like 40 years.

We're so fucked.

Yes, R34, this opinion was from eight years ago. Why does Towle like to dredge up the out-of-date and irrelevant?

Oh dear.
