I believe you overestimate it's worth.
Perhaps The Church could be credited with (or blamed for depending on your particular point of view) what you describe, but the belief in Christ as God had very little impact in and of itself (other than to create the foundation for a new proselytizing cult). |
You seem to be putting a lot stock into what you imagine I am putting a lot of stock into
. If Christianity has had little or no impact (and I did not say it had any great impact), then what sort of world do you imagine we would be living in today? That's all I'm asking. Do you think it would be pretty much as it is today, or even better - more advanced technology, perhaps?
