Here is one reason why the Jews and early Christians viewed the Roman Empire as hopelessly corrupt. This has nothing to do with the fact that the wheels of the Empire were greased with bribery. It has nothing to do with the rampant ruthless ambition of many (possibly most) of the military and political leaders. It has to do with the Roman attitude towards household sexuality. A Warning: Do not read this if you are easily shocked.
