What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity
RE: What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity

Let's engage in a little verbal duelling: Firstly, it's dishonest of Militant Anti-Christian Atheists like you not to first of all put up one of your own, a Famous Anti-Christian Atheist, to compare and contrast with our Famous Founder in Teaching, Morality, Life and Example. Whoever it is, it is the easiest thing in the world to show Jesus Christ vastly outstrips him or her in Universal Morality. Thus I took the example of that Famous Anti-Christian Atheist Darwin. He called Christianity a "Damnable Doctrine" through projection. He was a known Racist.

Darwin was an abolitionist though still a man of his times. You need to pick better villains.

"I have watched how steadily the general feeling, as shown at elections, has been rising against Slavery.— What a proud thing for England, if she is the first Europæan nation which utterly abolishes it.— I was told before leaving England, that after living in Slave countries: all my opinions would be altered; the only alteration I am aware of is forming a much higher estimate of the Negros character.— it is impossible to see a negro & not feel kindly towards him".
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

That was not an endorsement, it was a warning.

Oh pls. Defend this if yu can, Mister Agenda:

In 1881, toward the end of his life, Charles Darwin wrote to a colleague that the “more civilised so-called Caucasian races have beaten the Turkish hollow in the struggle for existence. Looking to the world at no very distant date, what an endless number of the lower races will have been eliminated by the higher civilised races throughout the world.”1 This was not just some offhand comment unrelated to Darwin’s science. It reflected important elements of his theory of human evolution. Indeed, he articulated this same principle in his scientific study of human evolution, The Descent of Man (1871), where he claimed, “At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races.”2 Not only racism, but racial extermination was an integral feature of Darwin’s theory from the start.

This is a position that has been articulated by many historians of science.3 Two prominent historians specializing in the history of Darwinism, Adrian Desmond and James Moore, mince no words about the racism inherent in Darwin’s theory. In their magisterial biography of Darwin, they state, “‘Social Darwinism’ is often taken to be something extraneous, an ugly concretion added to the pure Darwinian corpus after the event, tarnishing Darwin’s image. But his notebooks make plain that competition, free trade, imperialism, racial extermination, and sexual inequality were written into the equation from the start — ‘Darwinism’ was always intended to explain human society.”4

No one, what on Earth was your question again. Between all your cussing and blasphemies, I must have missed it. I'm not afraid of any question and have answered several. I also answered your question about Christ in the Hindu Scriptures in the other thread. You should listen to Aravindaksha Menon's Life Testimony, formerly a Devout Hindu, now a Devout Christian, as is his entire family, after experiencing the Love and Power of Jesus Christ in their lives.

Mister Agenda, to answer something else I saw you asked, yes, if you could say with a sincere heart what Lincoln did that I quoted, you'd be a Devout Christian too. Of course you don't believe that. Or do you? Do you believe the Truth is proven by All History that Nations are Blessed whose God is the Lord? That's what Lincoln said and if you believe that, then there's no debate and we've won.

President Lincoln, Devout Christian. Q.E.D. How many of you are doing what Lincoln said you should do, either as individuals or as a Nation? Obviously none of you, otherwise we wouldn't even be having this debate in the first place. https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/document...and-prayer

That was the language of the upper Victorian upper class of 19th-century imperial England. Darwin was a more moral guy than Christians who enslaved Africans, force them into baptisms, and gave them Christian names.
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"

None of you obviously meaning the Christians apart, lol. Good Job to the other Christians here. Of course we will win, not because we're excellent debaters or something, but simply because Truth is on our side. Read the facts for yourselves and make your own independent judgment. But the evidence is very clear.

Again, Lincoln was maybe a Christian but he was not a devout Christian.

Oh, if only *Devout* Atheists were Devout like Prez. Lincoln. ROTFLOL:

"Whereas the Senate of the United States, devoutly recognizing the supreme authority and just government of Almighty God in all the affairs of men and of nations, has by a resolution requested the President to designate and set apart a day for national prayer and humiliation; and

Whereas it is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord;"

Yeah right, people will throw away evolution, become Christian, start beating adults for sex crimes around Churches, go to Crusades, abandon democracy, and let popes pick leaders. Dream on, pedo apologist.
