Roman Empire Religion
Oh, has the world evolved! I was so ignorant not to interfere with the destruction of Rome. Even though I was not communicating with them, one would think they would still have some faith. Now look at humanity. They have created false gods, and they have become out of touch with our ways. The events that followed caused mass destruction and the falling of the all-controlling Roman Empire.
