That doesn't mean I won't break a leg jumping off my roof.

2019-10-08 22:49:07 UTC  

Sure, but we're talking about evidence-based claims here

2019-10-08 22:49:25 UTC  

If we go wholly on faith, why not Islam? Why not Hinduism? Zoroastrianism?

2019-10-08 22:49:28 UTC  

Yeah. And belonging to a community is like jumping of a roof

2019-10-08 22:49:44 UTC  

We are not saying to go and explode

2019-10-08 22:49:57 UTC  

Neither are the Hindus

2019-10-08 22:49:58 UTC  

Well, if you look at western judeo-christian nations

2019-10-08 22:50:03 UTC  

We have, you know, running water

2019-10-08 22:50:09 UTC  

and uhhhh don't stone people for eating cows

2019-10-08 22:50:20 UTC  

Running water = right faith?

2019-10-08 22:50:20 UTC  

and don't throw our kids into manure piles for shits

2019-10-08 22:50:41 UTC  

No, but clearly it's our judeo-christian backing, which nobody else had, which led to our current cultures

2019-10-08 22:50:48 UTC  

So if Muslims were the developed world does that make Allah the real God?

2019-10-08 22:50:54 UTC  

Well, yes

2019-10-08 22:51:21 UTC  

If stoning gays and murdering everyone who dissented on your wholly holy book was the answer, muslims would be the superpower

2019-10-08 22:51:30 UTC  

So if China becomes the next world power, time to ditch Christ?

2019-10-08 22:51:48 UTC  

No, look at how the average chinese person lives compared to us

2019-10-08 22:51:51 UTC  

Even if they unseat us

2019-10-08 22:52:05 UTC  

You won't live very well if China takes over

2019-10-08 22:52:25 UTC  

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

2019-10-08 22:52:31 UTC  

But there's a section of people close to the party that will

2019-10-08 22:52:32 UTC  

if they took over

2019-10-08 22:52:37 UTC  

Clearly they've for the right answer

2019-10-08 22:52:58 UTC  

Might makes right. Right?

2019-10-08 22:53:02 UTC  

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.

2019-10-08 22:53:10 UTC  

See, it's basically a difference in opinion at this point

2019-10-08 22:53:29 UTC  

>take example
>assume it's the only answer
I thought we were about good faith here :^)

2019-10-08 22:53:35 UTC  

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

2019-10-08 22:53:54 UTC  

But all people do not have a better life. That's not really how this process works

2019-10-08 22:54:01 UTC  

Whereas judeo christian values have actually made the lives of everyone within america better

2019-10-08 22:54:06 UTC  

They do tho

2019-10-08 22:54:25 UTC  

American and euro poors have better lives than the poor anywhere else

2019-10-08 22:54:30 UTC  

That wasn't until a lot of the superstitious elements of Christianity were done away with tbh.

2019-10-08 22:54:46 UTC  

Which, funny enough, is something that the christians can do

2019-10-08 22:54:48 UTC  

A little bit of secularism mixed into Christian culture has done a lot to push humanity forward.

2019-10-08 22:55:00 UTC  

Now, why is it that the muslims have not done the same

2019-10-08 22:55:02 UTC  

It's not limited to Christianity, oddly

2019-10-08 22:55:12 UTC  

or the chinese or marxists who abandoned their religious values entirely

2019-10-08 22:55:25 UTC  

But the thing is, the enlightenment didn't have to have come from Christianity. It just happened to have started there.

2019-10-08 22:55:43 UTC  

It didn't happen anywhere else either tho

2019-10-08 22:56:00 UTC  

And was philosophically backed by judeo christian teachings
