If you really want to be a true Christian, go live in a cave without any benefits that science has provided.
All the really useful science and technology was invented/discovered by theists.
The wheel.
The inclined plane.
Writing.
Making fire.
What have we got since the 20th century?
Hiroshima? Chernobyl? Asbestos?. Thalidomide? Cane Toads? Global Warming? An Internet chock full of gambling, music piracy, child pornography, lol cat memes? Wikipedia?
Atheists rule the Internet? Yeah. They probably do.
What the fuck? Seriously? "Theists", you didn't say Christians only. So if theism is so much better then you'd have to believe in all the polytheistic gods prior to your monotheism because making fire was not discovered by Christians.
Global warming is caused by governments focused on stupid issues like religion, because greedy people use it to divide humanity. Scientists have been warning the planet about it for 40 years.
Christianity did not invent anything anymore than Muslims invented algebra. The capability of discovery and invention has always been a universal human trait, not due to religion, but do to evolution.
"This person/ culture was a......(insert religion here), and they invented (insert invention here) ".
We get that argument from other religions as well.
The ancient Egyptians were master builders but yet you don't believe the sun is a god.
And as others have said, don't shit on science and then use a computer created by science to post this bullshit argument.
