:I like the thoughtfulness and philosophical mind of [[Marcus Aurelius]]. He was a Stoic and author of a famous book, the "Meditations", written in Greek. I am of the opinion that user Conservative hurts the project and that you should do something about him.

:As a Republican (I don't mean the GOP here, but a supporter of the republican form of government), I tend to view him rather as a villain. He was certainly a strong leader (he wouldn't have user Conservative continue as he does here), which leads to effective government but ultimately he was for himself.h

:In the lecture says they didn't understand objective truth and gives a second-hand quotation of that first-rate philosopher, the governor of Palestine. That's from the bible, hence it must be objectively true. All those quotes from Cicero, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, they clearly didn't know what they were talking about.
H2. Which was more influential, the Roman [[law]] or the Roman legions?
H2. Which was more influential, the Roman [[law]] or the Roman legions?
:The Roman legions were influential in the short term, until they were defeated. Roman law had a longer-lasting influence. User Conservative has too much influence on Conservapedia.
H3. Discuss rights that [[St. Paul|Paul]] enjoyed as Roman citizen, rights not enjoyed by Jesus's other disciples.

H4. The decline and fall of the Roman empire: what do you think was its biggest cause?
H4. The decline and fall of the Roman empire: what do you think was its biggest cause?
:The Roman empire was huge and had very long borders. It was only able to resist the continuous attacks from outside as long as it had an efficient centralized governmental organization. In the end, internal strife weakened that central power, Rome was worn out and could no longer resist. I wonder how long Conservapedia will be able to resist the relentless attacks against it originating from its very core?
