What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

USN?

Nah, I'm talking about REAL sailors, not boys in their dress whites drinking shandies and pink umbrella drinks.

What distinguishes REAL sailors?   Rum, lash and sodomy?

Nope. Spinach and an anorexic girlfriend.

As for Abolition and Slavery, Prez. Lincoln 

Lincoln freed the slaves but he didn't give them full equality and his desire for racial integration was dubious 

William Wilberforce

An imperialist who supported the British Empire and it's underlining racist themes of "civilizing the world"

for e.g. as well as Anti-Slavery Crusader David Livingstone, were the Accomplished Abolitionists of their time, and they were devout Christians.

Yeah the guy who opened Africa to colonialism which lead to all the horrors that came from that 


These are your heroes? Also, Christianity doesn't get credit for fixing a problem it helped cause.

You're a thankless shithead to all the heros of the past who made incredibly difficult incremental progress towards the recognition of human rights that now, in retrospect, seem obvious. But they definitly were not obvious back then.

First off I don't owe long-dead politicians thanks and it's irrelevant as my point stands if he can condemn other historical figures for their faults I can condemn his heroes for theirs if he wants to play that game he needs to understand it's a two-way street. Also, screw you, you pompous windbag.

[The Grand Nudger]

They're no more obvious now than they were then. A commitment to human rights is fulfilled and must be renewed in every moment. Having one half-kind thought in a lifetime means absolutely nothing to human rights. There is no incremental progress in human rights. You either have rights, as a human, or you don't - and that's the end of it. Check your nearest mass grave for confirmation.

Which makes it IYM a convenient fiction does it not? And not just which human rights in general, what specifically are we talking about...the right to life perhaps?...self-defence?....justice?...peace?....

Dat What goes on that list is not simple or obvious is tru dat.

  I really hate it when I agree with you.  But, here we are.

[The Architect Of Fate]

You are all completely missing my point. Which was if  NX can Condemn other historical figures for holding views that were unenlightened I can do the same for the people he cites as heroes.

[Neo-Scholastic]

Then you are both thankless shitheads. Dope.

[The Architect Of Fate]

Then you are both thankless shitheads. Dope.

Lol yes because we can't ever criticize historical figures 

Oh and neither of us owes a dead person thanks.

And you are the only dope here dope
