The significance of Christianity coming out of the middle east as does Islam would be?

You really can't figure it out? Why do you suppose "Thou Shalt Not Rape" isn't one of the 10 commandments? Hm? Look at that culture; it hasn't really changed, has it? Only in the land of Arabs would such a fantastical, convoluted tale of nonsense emerge, and that any American bows toward either Mecca or Jerusalem is an embarrassment.

How is it even conservative? In socialism, another man pays for your social services. In Christianity, another man pays for your sins. No wonder all the black churches and half the catholics have gone to the left: there's nothing conservative about the mindset of not having to pay for anything. Vote for Obama and you'll get welfare. Vote for Jesus and you'll get heaven. One dovetails into the other without a hitch. And you can't figure it out.

Be an American. Don't bow to anything from the land of tribes and sacrifices.

Oh my. You know nothing about Christianity. Nothing. First, All sexual sins, including rape, are covered under “Do not commit adultery.”
Your analogy simply doesn’t work on any level. In fact it is downright racist, as in “All middle Eastern men are rapists” simply because they are from a certain region.
Second, belief in Christ as a savior from our sins has nothing to do with getting freebies. It is an acknowlegdement that we cannot be good enough to earn our way into heaven by doing good works. Many people want to believe they can be good enough to ignore the need to accept Christ.
As for not having to pay for anything, Christ isn’t about money. Christianity is about forgiveness, not revenge. The values of forgiveness, purity, modesty, stewardship are the very core of conservatism.
Black liberation theology is about revenge. It is not Christianity.
