Why are other civilizations ignored in the Bible?

[discipulus]

Ok. We can debate that. I believe the exact opposite.

My only reservation is it may be too broad a topic, since I'd be covering its history, ranging in subtopics from the fall of Rome to the rise of the Third Reich, from Divine Right to modern Dominionism, from sex to science, from the implications of the basic beliefs of Christianity to is applications for the future.

Maybe we can narrow down to one area where you feel Christianity has been a great benefit to society and it may be that I also have the opposite view.

I have no reservations about talking about the effects of those people's actions who followed Christ's teachings has had on the world.

In fact, since we are not to judge a worldview by its abuse, but rather, by what it teaches, I am confident that when we look at those who have lived according to the precepts of Christ and the effects they have had on the world, we will find that the people of the world have benefited more from these teachings than any other teachings or precepts from any other worldview.

I am more than eager to give you hard cold facts and statistics to back this up.

If you want, let us begin with the children of the world. Since you minced no words when you said:

"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."

And since children are a part of humanity, let us just focus on what the followers of Christ have done for the little ones of the world. And let us compare what atheists and muslims and hindus and buddhists have done for them.

If you are willing, we can start a new thread entitled: "The little ones.....what the followers of Christ's teachings have done for them."

And please do not try to bring up the actions of those who have abused Christianity or used Christianity to accomplish their own selfish ends for we know many have done so and that they were not acting in accordance with what Christ taught.

So if you are able, let us do it.
