Well, he posted a decent post this time.
Quote:Time is dated by Jesus Christ.
True.
Quote:The entire world follows the languages developed by the Christian nations.
This is a good argument for the importance of the Latin language, or the importance of the Roman Empire. But just because the Roman Kingdom happened to be Christian, doesn't mean that them being Christian is the reason that they have so much influence today.
Quote:Science developed in Christian countries.
Really? You understimate how much the Arabic world has had an impact on science. Two-thirds of the stars in the galaxy have Arabic names. Our numerals are referred to as Arabic numerals. Arabic nations and peoples have made tremendous leaps in mathematics...hell, "algebra" is a field pioneered by Arabics and the word itself is Arabic.
I could argue that the Arabic world has had just as much of an impact as Christianity, when talking of science.
Quote:Human rights increased in Christian nations.
Was that before or after the (Christian) Romans liked to feed people to lions for entertainment?
Quote:The modern world grew out of thinking that occurred in predominately Christian nations.
This is a very broad statement, can you clarify?
Quote:As for the Greeks, Plato and Aristotle both had theistic aspects to their beliefs, and many of their interpreters were either theistic or Christian.
That doesn't make the Greek Empire a Christian nation, that spread Christianity everywhere and ruled with Christianity and makes Christianity powerful in any way. It makes two philosophers living in Greek theists.
