it is funny how many in the US think they(right) want or would impose a christian theocracy. A distiction of impose and preserve needs to be made.

so by saying Preserve the theocracy you are admitting it already exists?

If Christianity never took root in the Roman Empire.....

Then Armenia would still be the world's first Christian nation, as they became so at least a decade before the Roman Empire, except right now it would probably be the only Christian nation.

As did Egypt.

I reckon there would be alot more Arians running around Europe, probably European christianity would be alot more hetrodox, with pre-christain stuff mixed in, kind of like Alevis in Turkey today.

 

 whether Europe was christian or not it would have changed little. The Franks would have been in Gaul. THe Franks wanted to model themselves like the Romans.  Although  Christianity helped into the integration of Franks and Gauls into one people and one kingdom. Well i think Christianity was important for european unity.

Meat cake?
Nope, been watching too many episodes of Friends

You know, the christian believes about self affliction, penitency and all that of stuffs....

Well the early Monastic tradition in Briton, round about 500 AD to 800/900 AD, especialy in Wales did have strict dietry regimes, no meat, basic vegetable stews (hence the leek as one of St. David's symbols), or better yet, to live off just water and bread and herbs, and no booze either.
Though by the time the medival age kicked in, after the Normans invaded, the monks became more lax in their ways, but then they were amoung the richest people in the land, and well, its a shame to waste all that wealth
