Without Christianity, the world would have been stuck in the Dark Ages. If Islam conquered the world, all advances in technology would have come to a halt.

Um... during the dark ages it was Christian Europe in the dark. muslim Northern Africa and muslim Spain were actually very enlightened and much more advanced.

I am not trying to be a jerk or anti-Christian here but these are just facts and I really would not want to see a fellow conservative make a fool of themselves by making this sort of statement.

Yup. Islam wasn't always the benighted culture it is today. It was pretty violent, but it hardly had a monopoly on that.
