It is. Look at its fruit. History bears that out.
The Protestant west has produced among the most civilized and free governments and societies in history. Western Europe under primarily Protestant influence saw the greatest advances in science, education, and social reform this world has seen.
I can't think of one single atheistic government that I would want to live under. Your choices are Stalin, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Kim Jung Il, and Pol Pot. You pick.
I may be missing some but I can't think of ONE atheistic government that has ever benefited mankind.
People abandon Judeo-Christian thought and morals at their own peril. I presume that you're living in the United States and are enjoying the freedoms and benefits that that Judeo-Christan belief system has produced that you seem to now want to obliterate. You'll be shooting yourself in the foot.
Funny thing about atheists. They seem to like to spit in the face of the very belief system that grants them the freedom to spit in its face.
Excellent post, metmom. I might insert “Christian” for Protestant, but that aside, well done. :)
Yep — they specialize in the fine art of "sawing off the very branch to which they naturally have to cling for their own existence and survival." LOL!!!
Thank you ever so much for your fine insights, dear metmom!
If what you want to argue is that Judeo-Christian culture is the best, then argue that. But don’t make this about atheists, or you’ve got the muslims on your side too, and I’m pretty sure you don’t want them. Not to mention the brutality that Catholicism has, in the past, evinced. Look, as far as CULTURES go, if I have to live among any religious people, I’ll take the J-Cs. But one of the reasons I’ll take the J-Cs is that the religion is predicated not on obedience, but faith and free will. If you try to shove your religion down athiest throats, you might as well be Muslim.
