What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity
RE: What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity
Behold, o 21st century mankind, the founding fathers and mothers of this modern so-called "civilization". If only you'd chosen Jesus and Mary instead, how much happier the world at large and humanity as a whole would have been.

"Death anniversary of Alfred Kinsey: ‘Father of sexual revolution’ who claimed babies have orgasms, child rape benefits victims
Alfred Kinsey was credited for authoring pioneering reports on human sexology that radically upended the prevailing view on sexual relations between humans. Kinsey’s research work is said to have influenced social and cultural values not just in the United States but across the world."

My comment had nothing to do with Alfred Kinsey and pointing out he had some bad views does not undermine what I said. Homosexuality is not a choice nor is being trans and yes your views on both are hate.

The world can also be imagined to be a much better place if religion never overstepped its role as fictional mythology.

Quote:Someone should have told the Gospel Writers. Who knew that some Angels secretly went back in time and re-edited the Gospels to say Love your Neighbor as yourself is the highest of all Commandments along with the Love of God and that he who loves has fulfilled the law, and that Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, is all the Law and the Prophets. Dr. Martin Luther King, a Devout Christian Pastor, knew and did this, and that's why Racism (largely) ended. The 2000 year Gospel, the Gospel Alone, the Holy Gospel, the Eternal Gospel, the Solution, the Only Solution, The Only Answer, the Only Way to Heaven, and an Extraordinary Cure for almost all of the world's moral problems including racism, slavery, abortionism, infanticide, baby-killing and the racist eugenicist bad policies of Darwin, Marx, Sanger, and Nietzche. Not to mention that Sexual Pervert Alfred Kinsey, the father of the modern sexual revolution.

That is not from the prophets since the Golden Rule is older than the Bible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule
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"

"Matt.22 Verses 34 to 40

[34] But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
[35] Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[38] This is the first and great commandment.
[39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."


Only Jesus Christ has expressed clearly, concisely, perfectly and precisely that these Two Commandments summarize the Whole Duty of Man and Woman on this Earth and are the Foundational Precepts of Religion. Only Jesus Christ has taught one should love even one's enemies and pray for those who persecute you and bless those who curse you. And He did it too on the Cross. Greater Love has no Man than, the Just Son of God most beautifully said, than that He should lay down His Life for His Friends; and yet, He had a Greater Love than even that in the Goodness of His Sacred Heart, for He laid down His Life even for His Enemies. One would have to be almost insane to not be able to see Jesus Christ was, at the least, a Good Man, and One of the Greatest Men to ever have existed, following and practicing whose teaching can but lead to human flourishing and human happiness even in this life.

Kinsey was not the father of the sexual revolution. Much before Kinsey was born, people decided that they had enough of the sexual oppression that the Catholic Church was imposing.

This is what Catholics like Nishant want to return

No one wants to persecute adulterers, misguided soul. Adultery is wrong and those who did it should repent and go to Confession. And they should also apologize to their offended wife/spouse, as well as the children they hurt by their bad behavior. But it's not a legal issue.
