Are you on shrooms right now or simply all the time.
You bring up my dreams quite often in a thread that has nothing to do with it.
And you speak of excuses and fabricating things.
You might as well start talking about how the aliens touched you on Uranus.
That would make just as much sense.

Pray to your god to see if he knows what a glubitron is.
I already know that you don't know.

Maybe your mind is on excuses because you're trying to make up one for why your god doesn't know.

Don't do shrooms. Is that your secret to your powers?  Sorry, not sure how it works for guys like you and Batman. Hilarious

The aliens must have done more than mess with Uranus. It appears they screwed with your head as well.

Firstly, human civilization goes back 10 or so thousand years with hunter-gartheres going back 50 or so thousand before that.

The current 'Monotheistic' phase only goes back a couple thousand.  With secularism and separation between church and state occuring for an easy quarter of even that time.

The assertion of 'My theism has done more good' is demonstrably false given just the time scales of history involved.

Sorry for the slight pedantry.   Blush
That's ok. What I should have said was since it's inception, Christianity has done more good in world than any group of people who have ever existed.

That's okay.

Though your claim still rings hollow given the small amount of time and scant geographical area the religion held its monopoly.

One and a half thousand years in Europe.... Isn't muh compared to every where and every when else, Luv.

Oh yeah? Do you know who said “Kill them all, God will recognize his own!” do you?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

No one following the teachings of Jesus Christ would ever say anything remotely like that. I know you are talking about the Crusades. No one considers those to be Christians though. It's like saying the KKK are Christians, or the Westboro Baptists are Christians. It is just not true. They are the wicked people who Jesus warned us about. They are the hypocrites, and they are fakes. Anyone who is familiar with the Bible and the commands of God and Jesus Christ realizes that.

So when you say "history of Christianity" you mean when your particular denomination started. And when was that? 19th century?

And of course this kind of stance you have "they're not real Christians" is what got Christians killing each other for millennia now. Just like the quote I mentioned - it was from a war between "fake Christians and real Christians".

The quote Fake is using here may or may not be real. Nobody knows for sure. It was supposedly said at the massacre of Beziers, which took place in 1209.

The attack was part of a military drive against a Christian heresy, Catharism. The overall crusade was known as the Albigensian Crusade. 

The Cathars began as strict Christians who thought that the Catholic establishment was corrupt. The Vatican couldn't stand opposition, and ordered them wiped out. It began as a theological dispute, but it became more than that when Catholic noblemen were told they could keep the lands of Cathar-supporting noblemen whom they defeated. Suddenly a lot of indifferent Catholics signed up to fight. 

When the guy said, "Kill them. For the Lord knows those that are his own," he knew full well that the guy who was paying him would get to keep the land.

So it's one of those things that the anti-religious can point to, which proves nothing to the religious. Fake can say that it shows the evil of Christians, while Christians can say it shows the worldly greed of the military and proves that the murdered Cathars were correct. Nothing gets accomplished this way.

All I'm saying is that the claim "Christianity has done more good in world than any group of people who have ever existed" is not true for history of christianity is one holocaust after another.

No. Why would it be evidence of a God? Remember that God is supposed to be a supernatural being that is able to create universes, dictate morality, etc.

How is the existence of physical things evidence of a supernatural?

Because if God created the universe, that means God created everything in the universe.
