Political Crossfire Forums

i don't think the other religions were conducive towards it. the american religions ended up sacrificing people, the slavic/germanic/tengri pagans and the like weren't much better, and were all based around a panthenon of gods that had presence in nature. islam was once the center of learning but after they gave us arabic numerals they never contributed anything again. what it was in truth was the sultanate of Rum (rum == "ROMANS") and other arabic nations were devouring others and taking what they could, preserving what was known in antiquity, and at some point that ran out and next thing you knew it was 2015. it was only in christianity that science truly blossomed. it's not as if europe didn't have it's own troubles. wars and plagues took their toll, often more than other places. but it was the center of christian religion

Point remains the same: arguing that a particular characteristic or set of characteristics of Christianity is the biggest contributor to the creation of the Western world is an untestable hypothesis, largely due to the fact that not being a Christian was illegal, and expressing anything like that was apt to get you either shunned, exiled, tortured, imprisoned or killed.

I refer again to my long hair hypothesis: look at all those long-haired people and all the shit they did. Obviously having long hair is what caused Western civilization.

Just lol.
