I just imagined The Joker in my head, and it was perfect.

[Scholencia]

Christianity and European culture civilised the world. At least they desirve some credit for that.

Are you complementing me or insulting me? I can't tell. If you're complementing me, HI!

How did they civilize the world? This is a legitimate question.

I think it was more of an "aw fuck"

To an extent, yes. and hi

[Madredia]

Indeed. I take it you're a Christian Tarsonis?

I am. I'm a bit of a black sheep though, I was born Methodist, but wasn't really a fan. I was an atheist,looked at Wicca and Paganism. But through a series of Deductions and "Revelations," I became a Baptist, and have been for Ten Years. My journey though has colored me interestingly. I think I might investigate Catholicism. I'd look into Orthodox, but I can't give Distruzio the satisfaction.

Thats interesting. So how old were you when you actually gave your life to Christ? Personally I was 5 when I did and I have been raised going to Pentecostal churches but no one in my family is denominational. I've pretty much always been close to God by faith but when I was 13-14 I actually logically concluded that Jehovah is God and there's no 2 way about it. I just see myself as a Christian I don't worry about categorizing myself too much, as my interpretations of the Word are developing constantly. My beliefs closely associate to Quaker (thats what a test I took said).

The did contribute greatly to civilization for 1600 years. But Muslims and other Religions did as well.

Well, me and a few others did a good job of explaining evolution to him. I doubt it's an "aw fuck"

EDIT: I guess it is.

14 I was baptized into faith, but "fervant convictions" developed more in the last t4 years, largely due making some mormon friends in the USMC.

Now it is not, out of everyone I've debated with you're probably the smartest. I was just afraid of another debate.

Uh the Catholic church effectively ruled Europe for a Thousand Years, to say they didn't would just be silly.

if you want tomorrow I'll go into specifics. But for now I'm off to bed.

Thank you. I say that with sincerity.

By spreading western culture. Before the arrival of the Europeans in America, Asia, Africa etc. That places were without technology, science, infrastrukture, road... When colonisation started they made thoose countries to decent nations.

That was due to European colonialization, but as far as I know, not due to European Religion.

Well, Christianity is part of European culture that the colonists spread. You really cannot seprate thoose two things.

EDIT. Just because from the Christian religion the the worlds exist, makes Christianity the best religion ever to existed.

You've got a point. But it wasn't solely due to European religion. The original question was, What technological or social advancements have been achieved by religion itself.

Well I'm sure if you asked Isaac Newton, he would attribute his work to his God and faith. However thats besides the point. Its more the way we say the United States is responsible for many innovations, because its citizens have accomplished them. Christendom was sort of a domain at the time, and the same logic could by applied there.
