Why do Christians trust the Bible?

[Jenny A]

Name one improvement to the quality of life created by Christianity.

Western civilization. Don't even try to pretend that Christianity didn't play a part in the Renaissance, the Scientific revolution, the abolition of slavery, and the rise of constitutional democracies.

Christianity is still a major part of Western Civilization, but The Fall of Rome happened despite the coming of Christianity and with it came a loss of much technical and artistic knowledge which was not revived for the roughly 1000 Christian years that followed. The information revived was Greek and Roman and much of the ancient documents admired and consulted were preserved by Arab nations.

The scientific revolution happened despite, rather than because of the church.

Christianity has been used as a prop for monarchies for many more years than have been western democracies. Similarly, Christianity was used throughout Africa, North and South America to justify slavery. Many Southern churches owned slaves. Further many of the abolitionists were atheists including: William Lloyd Garrison and Ralph Waldo Emerson.
