Nobody intended the Bible as a scholarly historical or scientific work
It's a theological work
Yes
By God who used his followers and people to write about him and events concerning him, he made it to explain creation to us and so us in the future would be able to know what has been said and what will happen
>Christian Europeans throughout history have been the only ones capable of developing true civilization
*cries in Chinese, Aztec, Sumerian, Egyptian and thousands of other non-Christian civilizations*
What is "true" civilization?
Not one had liberty
But Europe
Who says?
Liberty is a false god
Says history
What value does Liberty have?
"says history"
Fuck off, idiot.
„Liberty“ is not the defining characteristic of civilization it is a false ideal
idolized like the golden calf
Liberty comes AFTER order and tradition and virtue
I'm done with this pseud
It's unique
nvm I take that back
An authoritarian society can still be morally right
well, I don't, I just don't mean it towards you
The problem is not with liberty the problem is putting liberty first
^
It can't come first and it's not the most important
You actually said something coherent
Because you can't have it without traditional Christianity
virtue and piety
^
The bible was composed by the church, it isn't the be all end all of anything
We have *2000 years* of teaching on the stuff in it. But without a proper magisterium, it's worthless
Context matters
Always
Comparing Christianity to other religions is just retarded because it's very very unique
Elaborate
Christian societies are nothing like Muslim societies. Christianity alone is God seeking man which is entirely unique to it.
But what makes Christian societies inherently above Muslim ones
Christianity is true
It's not two sides of the same coin
