@elston_ Oh the irony.

Before Rome fell and people were pissed at Christianity, Augustine defended your Jewish religion in a very similar way. He wrote "The City of God", you should read it.

His conclusion? It doesn't matter if Rome falls, the City of God is what matters.

"Even if the earthly rule of the Empire's imperiled, it's the City of God that would ultimately triumph."
"Christianity should be concerned with the heavenly city, the New Jerusalem, rather than with earthly politics."
