But you prove his point. Judeo-Christian societies long ago moved out of "string and dung" buildings and developed. Most, if not all, non Judeo-Christian countries are still in the dark ages. Just look at the Middle East. And if it weren't for oil (ironically discovered and now removed by Western oil companies) the Gulf states would be as backwards as the rest.

You bet. Like Japan. Heck...some people there live in houses with paper walls. Oh...wait...those houses do very well in earthquakes. Never mind.

This nonsense is bullhockey!

I would credit the Roman Empire and it's descendants more than the Roman Church and it's descendants
