What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity

[Thumpalumpacus]

If the World were just the United States, I might, Thump. But that is US specific data only.

if you think Christians are outbreeding Muslims, you're in for a pretty surprise. And if you think you'll see more young'uns take up the faith going forward, I have got a nice orange bridge I'd like to sell you.

[Deesse23]

it's that meriting High Eternal Rewards sometimes requires suffering.

Not for a truly omnipotent god, and anyone but so utterly incompetent as you would easily notice.

Nishant Xavier:

Do you acknowledge that God cannot provide you with eternal happiness?

Not without a good, handsome blastoma!

[Gawdzilla Sama]

And, once more, we get CLAIMS, links to biased websites, and bible quotes.

And if you're upset from a few choice words from Gawdzilla, little man, wait until I get started.

Sailors flee from bars when I really get going.

Bring it.

Nah, I'm talking about REAL sailors, not boys in their dress whites drinking shandies and pink umbrella drinks.

As for Abolition and Slavery, Prez. Lincoln and William Wilberforce, for e.g. as well as Anti-Slavery Crusader David Livingstone, were the Accomplished Abolitionists of their time, and they were devout Christians.

So Christians saved us from slavery which they invented and maintained. Aren't we lucky?

I mean just take a recent incident when people wanted to remove statues of Columbus because he was a slave trader. And he was a devout Christian because this is what Christians did. Do you know what else Christians did? They owned slaves.

As for Abolition and Slavery, Prez. Lincoln 

Lincoln freed the slaves but he didn't give them full equality and his desire for racial integration was dubious 

William Wilberforce

An imperialist who supported the British Empire and it's underlining racist themes of "civilizing the world"

for e.g. as well as Anti-Slavery Crusader David Livingstone, were the Accomplished Abolitionists of their time, and they were devout Christians.

Yeah the guy who opened Africa to colonialism which lead to all the horrors that came from that 


These are your heroes? Also, Christianity doesn't get credit for fixing a problem it helped cause.

Nope there is no requirement for this your god couldn't simply create eternal happiness as the default state. A test is pointless

Here is a bit of trivia about Francesco del Giocondo (Mona Lisa's husband) from Leonardo's biography.

Having become the purveyor of silks to the Medici, he was increasingly prosperous, with clients throughout Europe, and he bought a few women Moors from North Africa to serve as his household slaves.

I mean how is this possible? African slave trade in Catholic Italy surrounded by popes and Catholic bishops? Why aren't all these clergymen and other devoted Christians saving these people when they are obviously anti-slavery?

What distinguishes REAL sailors?   Rum, lash and sodomy?
