But that actually gave me the reason why American atheists are so hostile compared to Euro atheists. It all makes sense now
Let's simplify it. Step by step.
One question. Yes or No
Is adultery right???
It is a fact that the church of different stripes, has gone out of its way in cahoots with the governments of the day to suppress knowledge that contradicts the bible and to dissuade further knowledge.
The idea was that that there was no use looking into things because they already knew the answer to everything, which was that god did it. End of investigation.
The works from the ancient world only survived because the Muslims preserved it, without them we would be even more behind scientifically.
So without Christian intervention we can expect to be more advanced than we are now. We can see this still working in the US today where they deny evolution, the age of the earth, the effects of man on the environment and more, all in the name of their religion.
And you think I am an American! One more thing for you to be wrong about.
I am in fact European.
Is Adultery right? well no.
Neither is it a crime. Its like cheating on your significant other, not nice, but shouldn't be punishable by law.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
