But since you tried to pin the genocide of the Indians on Christianity, will you also give credit to Christianity for inventing the vaccine, that saved all those lives, seeing how the man that invented the smallpox vaccine was a "Jesus freak"?
Therefore what you consider to be the greatest human achievement; was accomplished by a christian...
How do you like them apples.
Vaccinations are certainly more impressive.
I'll ask again because you seem to have missed it:
What good does raising someone from the dead 2000 years ago, do for someone today?
What good does raising someone from the dead 2000 years ago, do for someone today?

Do I need to repeat myself more? Because you seem to just be repeating yourself over and over again.
And no, Christianity doesn't get credit for something just because a Christian did it. Not unless Christianity led them to do it, and Vaccines surely weren't caused by Christianity.
You not addressing my point above, simply just proves me right btw.
Maybe you should go back and read the original question, Jesus raising the dead was never in response to you, I was responding to Wyrd of Gawd.

Isn't Moses' miracle of parting the Red Sea more impressive that Jesus turning water into wine?
You can repeat yourself all you want, your point is irrelevant to the original question. What you're doing is what you guys like to refer to as "moving the goal posts".
Also what's interesting is that you were willing to pin the extermination of the Native Americans on Christianity with zero evidence that Christianity condones said extermination, yet you're able to make that distinction when it comes to a Christian doing good.
Edward Jenner actually gave the credit to God for the work he accomplished, didn't you read the quote I posted?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Jenner
Quote:Neither fanatic nor lax, Jenner was a Christian who in his personal correspondence showed himself quite spiritual; he treasured the Bible. Some days before his death, he stated to a friend: "I am not surprised that men are not grateful to me; but I wonder that they are not grateful to God for the good which he has made me the instrument of conveying to my fellow creatures."*emphasis mine* (also changed the relevant part to "blind as bat red")
Since Jenner himself gave credit to God for his work, and since he was a christian are you now willing to credit Christianity for inventing the vaccine?
It's only fair right?
