Christianity would die without Islam.

do you actually expect anyone to give you 2 hours of their lives for the sake of this arguement?
You just go back to reading your fairy tales, drippy. It's all you can handle.
The only positive affect on the increase of Christianity because of Islam has not been seen in many centuries. It's the reason the Dark Ages came to an end when the Barbaric leaders converted to Christianity starting in great numbers in the 8th century.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Yes, but it was not until 732 CE that they were like "oh shit we actually have a common enemy who wants to convert us to that, let's unite as Christians and oppose them". The end of the Dark Ages coincided with the growing strength of the Church worming itself into politics.
I know it does not go well with your bullshit, but fuck if I care about your fantasies.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion. -- Superintendent Chalmers Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things. -- Ned Flanders Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral. -- The Rev Lovejoy  Quote: Yes, but it was not until 732 CE that they were like "oh shit we actually have a common enemy who wants to convert us to that, let's unite as Christians and oppose them". They "united?" I don't think so. In fact, one of Urban II's rationales for launching the Crusades was to stop xtians from slaughtering each other. In the words of Robert the Monk, Urban II said: Quote:this land which you inhabit, shut in on all sides by the seas and surrounded by the mountain peaks, is too narrow for your large population; nor does it abound in wealth; and it furnishes scarcely food enough for its cultivators. Hence it is that you murder one another, that you wage war, and that frequently you perish by mutual wounds. Let therefore hatred depart from among you, let your quarrels end, let wars cease, and let all dissensions and controversies slumber. Enter upon the road to the Holy Sepulchre; wrest that land from the wicked race, and subject it to yourselves ... God has conferred upon you above all nations great glory in arms. BTW, they later made this murdering motherfucker a "saint." |
