Why are other civilizations ignored in the Bible?

Excuse me but the point you wanted to debate was my assertion that Christianity was a dangerous, destructive belief system, that it has been a disaster for humanity and is maladaptive to our survival as a civilization.

I never even mentioned "atheism".

I'm not even an atheist myself.

Let's go to the tape, shall we....

You originally proposed a debate on the topic of (post #314)

OK, then I replied... (post #326)

Let me not mince words, Christianity is a dangerous, destructive belief system that has been the greatest disaster to befall humanity and is wholly maladaptive to the survival of human civilization in the future.

Then you said... (post #331)
Discipulus Wrote:Ok. We can debate that. I believe the exact opposite.

So, that was the topic I agreed to debate but I had some misgivings because the topic was broad, which required the extensive post above. With your insistence, I went through the effort.

Your only reply was to dismiss it with a casual expression of disagreement. You've provided no reasons that I am wrong on any point, nor have you defended the Christians I quoted nor have you provided any evidence or arguments yet except your twisted misunderstanding of evolution and your strawman of atheism and the science of evolution.

Now, you want to perform a little bait-and-switch where you ask me to justify "atheism" when I never even mentioned atheism nor am I one myself.

This is highly dishonest as a debate tactic, to say nothing of your logical fallacies of bare assertions that Christianity has created a free society or your strawmen about evolution.
