How ironic. Catholic Church clergy are the only reason knowledge flowed during Dark Ages. Monks translated and copied historical scripts. Catholic Church built universities where intellectual inquiry flourished. They even had astronomy observatories at the top of many Cathedrals. If what you’re saying is right, how could teh Catholic Church have founded the University SYstem? How could a Catholic Priest have discovered the BIg Bang?During the Dark Ages there was a stagnation of intelectual developments
That is an interesting concept (worship slot) but I don’t buy it.(e.g. Communist/Socialist governments, since when people don’t idolize God, they idolize people…every human has a “worship slot
Yes, but the guy is 16 and that’s all that matters.Yesus_Christ:

True to some extent. Renassisance told man “forget external authority, I can create my own morality! I can invent my own version of right and wrong!” And that locomotive started 500 years ago and is now moving at full speed, completely destroying society. People are saying they are whatever gender they want, they are saying they can have sex with whoever, whenever, to heck with the consequences on anyone. But at the same time, notice how the Renassisance today is completely incoherent - at the same time as they’re saying “we each get to decide what is right and wrong”, they are objectively telling people what is right and wrong, e.g. religion is bad, God is bad, etc. The whole thing is so incoherent its a joke.The thing that brought Europe back to its place as a center of learning was the renaissance. The renaissance was the opposite of the dark ages, but one of the key differences was that it emphasized detachment from religion and focused more on man.
It’s not a matter of belief. I read history and educate myself.Do you really believe that the accomplishments of the Catholic Church during the dark ages can be compared to that of the Abassid dynasty. Which allowed it’s people to believe what they wanted (with a extra tax to non Muslims). Europe During this time period was lagging behind many other empires.
Love one another?Yes I am pretty angry with Christianity because I believe that without it the world would be better off.
Having a swear word in your username is against forum rules.I purposely choose that username with the purpose of catching other attention and create some “interesting” debates.
Don’t be ridiculous. You are disrespecting the beliefs of the majority of this forum, something else which is not acceptable here.Anyways my username shouldn’t be insulting because it is like saying f nothing. No one would get mad at that (asides from the curse word).
Possibly not something to brag about on a public forum.Ohh and getting banned is not much of a concern to me because I am a pretty profiecient hacker (not that I would waste my time trying to hack this forum).
Yes, they point to other passages in their text to justify capital punishment and then use the most barbaric version of their time to use. Such as burning at the stake, the Rack, water boarding, the Heretic’s Fork, The Pear, The Wheel, etc.Catholics can’t justify killing nonbelievers in that same way by pointing to Jesus’ life.

Congrats on being 16.
It’s better to not quote this person or reply to them. Doing so only replicates the user name and produces more messages for the moderators to clean up. I suggest disengagement as those messages and the replies will likely be removed from the thread.How ironic.
