That said.....what about the Muslim faith Cheese and their atrocities?
What about the Romans? Europe and Carthage really took a beating from them!
Greeks? Persians?
Chinese? - How many people are truly buried under that wall? 
A whole whack of killing NOT in the name of Christianity. |
I am equally appalled at the atrocities of all religions, we are stuck in a Christian world so my focus is largely on their faith. As to whether we'd be Muslims if the Christian faith didn't exist? Doubtful as that religion stemmed from Christian influence.
Yes there are many examples of atrocities from other groups as well, equally as horrifying, but what has that to do with the question at hand?
A diversion? The list I provided, and an extensive one at that, caused millions of deaths in the name of religion
and the propagation of that religion. Other religions have their own manifestations as well.
Are you suggesting that is the path humans would have taken had their been no Christianity? Are you suggesting it was ok for millions to lose their lives, and continue to do so in order for that or other religions to survive?
I have no idea on the likely path we as humans would have taken without the Christian influence, one thing I can be pretty sure about is that science may not have been gagged for the last two thousand years.
