Funny how you fundamentalist christians are delighted when others die. You seem to think it vindicates your view of the world. So why do so many Christian charities bother to help the poor, when it would be more efficient to let the poor sods die? They do it, because most liberal Christians believe that life is sacred an ...[text shortened]... ies now as they will go to heaven "- as Darfius likes to say with regard to Medianite children.

I think that is a figment of your imagination.

No. I mean, between the time of that letter to the present day,
people have taken that Scripture to mean slavery is permissible.

That is, while some people have used Christianity to oppose slavery,
others used it to justify it.

If you think that people haven't used Christianity to justify slavery
(and succeeded), then your knowledge of Christian history is so
suspect, that you cannot be a Christian.

And, anyway, your idiotic friend who got half a dozen 'facts' wrong
claimed that in the ancient world. None of the Abolitionists
you mentioned come from the ancient world.

Your friend is rewriting history to make it sound like only good came
out of Christianity. If he, or you, believe this, you are utter fools.

I am talking about the hospitals we see today. Were you there to see the hospitals in ancient Egypt and Sri Lanka? How do you know they existed?

This statement is proof that you don't even read the crap you plagarize.

From your opening post:

The world before Christ was a world without hospitals, a world without charity, a world without respect for the sanctity of life. Hospitals were an innovation of Christianity. Hence the healing symbol of a cross represents hospitals.

This is a either lie or the person is so woefully unread that any claims he
makes about history should be treated as suspect (which they are).

In other words:

"Damn, he made some good points that I can't refute."

"LIES!"

"That'll give me time to think of something better to say..."

Give me a link to the ancient hospitals. Everyone knows there were doctors. But hospitals? I'd like to see.

Show me what slavemasters defended slavery with and I'll give you several verses why they are mistaken.

Funny, that's what I say about n01 everytime he blindly negates everything a Christian says with no support. None. Whatsoever.

Well, I say all of that except senseless using a good man's name as a curse word. Why do you do that?

"There is no doubt that Jesus Christ is the greatest man who has ever lived in all of history."

If the above is true, that there is no doubt, then this entire thread is pointless - we have all accepted the claim already.

If the above is false, then your referenced argument starts with a lie, and the author loses all credibility.

That's what you get for blind copying of others' arguments without filterting them through your own analysis.

Go outside and play, Darfius. There's an entire planet out there waiting for you.

Does patronizing me lend credence to your point of view? If so, how?

My point of view? What are you talking about?

It's just advice, Darfius. You spend an unhealthy amount of time in here grinding your axe with people who will never accept your point of view. You need to get out into the real world and see what's waiting there for you. I don't mean to patronise you, but if it comes across that way, it's because your defenses are up like they always are.

"Go outside and play." How is that not patronizing? Let not the victomizer play the victim.

Why is it unhealthy? If my time spent here convinces someone, then it is better spent than anything else, in my point of view. Never? That is rather arrogant. That implies a bias against God from the outset.
