Once again, the issue is not one of validity, but one of relationship.

Assume for the sake of argument that what you claim is true. Assume for a moment that there is a strong relationship between Darwinian evolution and communism - communists love Darwin to death, and long to bear his children, and sleep with The Origin of the Species under their pillows. Assume all that's true. So what? Why is that important?

As far as your historical assesment of Christianity, unless you claim yourself to be a Christian, I would prefer to give it less weight than a single neutron.

LOL. No wonder this is presenting you with such difficulty - you are laboring under the misapprehension that the truth is dependent on the source. If I am a Christian, my post is worthy of consideration. If I am not, it is not worthy of consideration. Not even if it's true. Which it is, whether I'm a Christian or not.

"If I am a Christian, my post is worthy of consideration. . .

Insofar as you claim to present an accurate historical assessment of Christianity, absolutely. Your words do not mean squat if you do not know what the Christian faith entails.

Furthermore, truth is indeed dependent on the source. There's no "misapprehending" about it. And you are sorely mistaken if you think I am laboring under any difficulty here.
