I am offering that most of the great prosperous civilizations are built upon a God given Messages and the virtue and moral contained in those Messages.
I am also offering that the downfall of those civilizations is when people as a whole start to move away from those morals and virtues to practice their own versions.
Hmm.
Ancient Rome might be a good example. While the Romans had and worshipped many different gods, Rome did well.
When Constantine tried to push everyone to worship Jesus, Rome began its death spiral.
