10. What did ceasar provide?
Roads, clean water, sanitation, commerce, policing... There was bad shit too, but on the whole the one of the reasons that the roman empire lasted as long as it did was because after they conquered an area they fixed things up and made the roads and countryside safe so that food could be grown and trade could flourish. They also provided sanitation and clean water, which were pretty good things for the time and made everyone healthier and safer.

It seems to me that dominionists want to return to a time when our lives were brutal, short and violent. They must think that they will be on the top of the heap when things get shook up. Kinda like if Jesus was a mobster, they would be one of fat Tony's stooges, or something like that.
