What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity

[Bucky Ball]

Just as The Persian Emperor Artaxerxes did, when he sent the Jews back from Babylon, (with Ezra with the new "Torah of Moses" under his arm, as the Bible describes), just as Alexander did, Constantine used religion to unify a far-flung empire. Just as the Arabs would use the new religion they cooked up to unify their new empire, religion was used as a political tool. It worked. Constantine called the Council of Nicaea (as well as faking his own conversion) to stop all the squabbling in the Christian sects. He told them he didn't care what they agreed on at the Council, but they had to agree on something. Without Constantine we would never have heard of Christianity. It was all political for all of the above.
