Them:

How often do you think about the Roman Empire?

Me, an Israeli Jew spending every single day of my life paying the price for the Roman Empire's actions 2000 years later:

Occasionally.

i resent this "men think about the roman empire thing" because i am a woman who studies history fuck you i think about history a lot and i'm not a man. but also i resent it because the roman empire is SO boring like if you were going to pick a part of history to think about a lot make it something COOL! my roman empire is the matchgirls' strike of 1888 or margaret beaufort being henry vii's kingmaker or why the hell they had to try so hard to kill rasputin or the 1914 christmas truce like genuinely who gives a fuck about the roman empire

Leofric totally has NO idea how he ended up in this situation. None at all. And he’s going to fight his way out of Cosmo’s arms any second now.

Erotophobia And the Colonization of Queers/Nature

“The rhetoric and institution of Christianity, coupled with the imperialist drives of militarist nation-states, have been used for nearly two thousand years to portray heterosexuality, sexism, racism, classism, and the oppression of the natural world as divinely ordained” and though today’s Western industrialized world claims to be largely secular, these countries with Christian and colonial origins retain the ideology of divinely inspired domination” (122). “All eco feminists who have addressed the topic of spirituality, have observed that Christianity has been used as both an authorization and a mandate for the subordination of women, nature, person of color, animals and queers” (123).  

Christianity originated as one cult among many in the Roman Empire—Christianity is then by its very inception, an urban religion. It appeared during a time of increasing militarization in the Roman state where stoic morality held chastity as ideal--with heterosexual intercourse allowed only for procreation within marriage; the belief was that procreation was the only legitimate reason for intercourse (Greenberg 1988, 219)(124). “To be like the angels was to be spiritual; to be carnal, unspiritual. Sex was the essence of carnality, hence the antithesis of spirituality” (1988, 224).

What distinguished Christianity from the many other ascetic cults of its time was the severity of its asceticism, its complete intolerance of other religions, and its high degree of organization aka hierarchy (124). Two accounts in Genesis have been used in Christianity to legitimize human/nonhuman hierarchy (human domination over nature, Genesis 1) and anthropocentrism (man as the center of creation, Gensis 2) (124). Moreover, the word ‘hierarchy’ itself means ‘holy order’.  As Apostle Paul once said: “Let everyone obey the authorities that are over him, for there is no authority except from God, and all authority that exists is established by God”.

Christianity fit quite nicely with Roman state ideals, and it spread through the Roman military where eventually the cross was adopted as a military symbol and the Roman Empire became the Holy Roman Empire—the union of church and state as representing God’s will on earth was sealed.

“The inferiority and subordination of women, animals, the body, nature, the erotic, and all their associates was proclaimed by law, decreed by religion and relentlessly enforced” through violent assaults such as the Inquisition, the Crusades, the witch burnings and the ‘voyages of discovery’ (124).
