What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity
#55
RE: What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity
Despite this being an obvious poke thread, I think I can post something good that Christianity has contributed.
Foster Care, the modern concept of Hospitals, graded levels of education, hygiene, industrial improvements, literacy, agriculture, abolition of indentured servitude, countless charities and I believe a majority of the Nobel laureates were Christian. It's woven all through multiple societies, governments, art, music, literature and (gasp) even science.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
