Next time you make an unsubstantiated assertion, make sure you have at least thought about it before you put your fingers to the keyboard, for there is one thing you CAN be certain of, like the chess board, lies and hypocrisy don't last very long.
I see that further discussion with you is futile. There are so many points at which your assertions fall to the ground. But it would take so much time and there would be nothing I would gain by it.
As for the statement you find so unacceptable -- well, you haven't read Dr. Jacob Bronowski's work, I'm afraid. His family was killed at Dachau and his expla tent that you feel yourself so certain. Much it will not profit you, in all probability.

Christianity gave the world Democracy, Freedom, Govornance, and the greatest country ever to be graced by God. 'nuff said.
Islamic civilization - an integral part of the Aristotelian, Greco-Roman, Mediterranean West - brought Europe out of its slumber in the last centuries of the first millennium. Muslims carefully regulated manufacturing. trade and taxes. But they were more interested in urban planning, social obligation, science, mathematics, philosophy and literature.

sure he would. but he might have to try Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity, or Priceline -- dontcha hate the way these guys buy up all the good flights and hotels, making it harder for those of us who are a little discriminating in what we want in terms of transportation and accommodations to reach Paradise ...
So, he's got plenty of chances. Why wouldn't he?
John 14:6 "I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the Father except through me."
Originally posted by FMFWhat you say about Islam is true; however, what I meant was that the democratic principles begun by the Founding Fathers of the U.S. was Christianity-based.
