If you could correct "god's" mistakes...

The biggest mistake from the point of view of Homo sapiens is; god chose the Milky Way to announce his presence.

As much as I despise Christianity I cannot say that the knowledge of Greek scientists was wiped out by the arrival of this new Christ god, but fuck me it's tempting to speculate as to how the world would be different if the cunt had chosen Andromeda instead.

The enforcement of Aristotelian "science" by the RCC has certainly set humanity back many centuries. By the time I finished earning my BSc in physics, I realized what a crock of hooey that the RCC had forced on the laity. Religious people used mathematics and fledgling astronomy and physics to keep the peasants in line (for predicting eclipses, for example, for intimidation). In this connection, astronomy was a combination of astrology and physics and mathematics, which the general populace was kept ignorant of. When some of the religious here cite that xtianity fostered science, they neglect the part about how the RCC kept that very same science from the populace for centuries, while exploiting it for their own benefit. And if they are Protestants, they have exactly zero claim, since they belong to a sect that split off. Don't like the RCC? Nail your 95 feces to that door, and claim complete denial! The more one knows about the history of science with respect to religion, the more disgusted one becomes. What makes a current religious person righteous with science? Retconned history and downright lies about history. Disgusting.

A favourite aphorism of mine is: 'Christianity is the biggest disaster in all of human history'.
We would have internet connections four hundred years ago if not for the the church. For twelve hundred years the church held all the cards and had almost unlimited funds and yet, it never invented the lightening conductor or even a fucking mousetrap. But then Christian theologians infest every university on the planet. That is one effective business model. But then they've had a few years to get it right.
