We should have a formal debate about the good that Christianity has brought to the world.
We could even make it about the overall ''nett good'' if you want to avoid the NTS fallacy that so often happens in such debates. (Godwins Law etc.)
Sure, that could be an interesting topic that hasn't been touched in a while (in a non-catholic-paedopheliac way). Sorry couldn't resist... but I'm up for it.
If you want, you can start the thread with the aim of determining the "net good" it has produced and we'll go from there. I'm actually genuinely interested in seeing what we can come up with.
