What I'm asking is for you to compare the ignorance in that book to the knowledge we have today...if you don't agree that we've made advancements beyond compare because we understood how little avtual knowledge there was...why are you on the internet?

You win Pal ,I admit ,I confess, I can't figure out what the hell you're saying!!!! :blahblah:

And ,if that's really the case with you ,or  just to make  your point that there're   good others in the world ;I stated that this degeneration would be slow in coming. I should've emphasized slowly..
Actually I feel at ease, now that I saw that you clarified this.
I agree with you, and by my estimation, this decline of civilization will coincide with our sun going supernova.

Further mankind's progress? Today in America the religious right are doing everything possible to hinder progress. Global warming? not happening. Women's rights? Stay in the kitchen. Art? Pictures of Blonde Jesus. The word progressive has become an insult from the religious right. They have done everything they can to hold back progress, not forward it. If Carter had won instead of Reagan, we would have had an initiative to get off of oil and develop alternate energy sources. Reagan kept us on it and increased our dependence.

Ever heard of the dark ages? that was after the enlightenment of first Greece and then Rome; the dark ages was when Catholicism held sway over Europe and Eastern Asia. Scientists like Galileo and Giordano Bruno were either threatened with execution or executed. The Catholic friars destroyed the works of Aristotle and other Greek intellects. Science advanced in spite of, not because of religion.


You are the most clueless dimwit we have ever has on this forum.

That's fine, because the supernova phase is farther into the future than that

Im still waiting on the brain trusts response to my destruction of his "argument".
Science doesn't give a damn about religions, because "damns" are not measurable units and therefore have no place in research. As soon as it's possible to detect damns, we'll quantize perdition and number all the levels of hell. Until then, science doesn't care.

He hasn't responded to anything of mine, so don't expect much.

Lol...his response to mine was...duh...huh?

My basic point was that civilization advances DESPITE Christianity...and if he thinks the Dark Ages were the best civilization has to offer...why computer?

I think these posts are funny, coming from folks that maintain atheists have no objective morality.
So by what standard are you presenting the argument that the end of society is bad to someone that inherently isn't supposed to have a standard and therefore incapable to objectively determine something to be bad?

I was struck by my own psychohistorical thought reading this:

If Axeman disappears, will this thread follow?

If he represents the intellectual elite among xtians, we got nothing to fear. Axeman probably gets lost in his own closet.
