One of the most beneficial results of religious syncretism was when the Ottoman Turks took Constantinople and did not destroy the stained glass windows in the Hagia Sophia.  Somehow they managed to figure out a way to incorporate them into their new "mosque."

I am often shake my head at some of the anti-intellectualism in modern evangelical churchs and even Catholics have the fideists.

Here is the alternative meme for those who are interested. I'm not. I don't have a dog in this fight so I am only presenting not defending.

You receive the slow clap of the unimpressed. Christianities central idea's are not unique and this stupid meme does not show otherwise .
