That doesn't mean I won't break a leg jumping off my roof.
Sure, but we're talking about evidence-based claims here
If we go wholly on faith, why not Islam? Why not Hinduism? Zoroastrianism?
Yeah. And belonging to a community is like jumping of a roof
We are not saying to go and explode
Neither are the Hindus
Well, if you look at western judeo-christian nations
We have, you know, running water
and uhhhh don't stone people for eating cows
Running water = right faith?
and don't throw our kids into manure piles for shits
No, but clearly it's our judeo-christian backing, which nobody else had, which led to our current cultures
So if Muslims were the developed world does that make Allah the real God?
Well, yes
If stoning gays and murdering everyone who dissented on your wholly holy book was the answer, muslims would be the superpower
So if China becomes the next world power, time to ditch Christ?
No, look at how the average chinese person lives compared to us
Even if they unseat us
You won't live very well if China takes over
I doubt that the average chinese will suddenly get a comfortable life, running water, and an understanding that you can't pressure boil evil spirits out of your friends
if they took over
Clearly they've for the right answer
Might makes right. Right?
I am really disappointed with the agnostic/atheist faction in here if the argument I did is boiled down to there is no VHS that provesthat I am right.
See, it's basically a difference in opinion at this point
>take example
>assume it's the only answer
I thought we were about good faith here :^)
I think that all people having a better life is better than millions starving and some having a better life for whatever duration the CCP manages to stay together
But all people do not have a better life. That's not really how this process works
Whereas judeo christian values have actually made the lives of everyone within america better
They do tho
American and euro poors have better lives than the poor anywhere else
That wasn't until a lot of the superstitious elements of Christianity were done away with tbh.
Which, funny enough, is something that the christians can do
A little bit of secularism mixed into Christian culture has done a lot to push humanity forward.
Now, why is it that the muslims have not done the same
It's not limited to Christianity, oddly
or the chinese or marxists who abandoned their religious values entirely
But the thing is, the enlightenment didn't have to have come from Christianity. It just happened to have started there.
It didn't happen anywhere else either tho
And was philosophically backed by judeo christian teachings
