I agree that large-scale industrial capitalism is inimical to Christianity; it degrades the individual just as much as overbearing government.

Distributed capitalism ala G.K. Chesterton is far more palatable to Christians of all stripes, IMO.

"Prior to its outlawing in 374AD, infanticide was legal in the west. It was outlawed by a Christian Roman Emperor… Ask your atheist friends why killing children is morally wrong."

It couldn't have anything to do with evolution of morality in conjunction with civilization could it?

So by your reasoning, infanticide is a byproduct of atheism (and other "false theisms"). So every atrocity tolerated by Christians 1-2 thousand years ago's a result of morality from the real God?

Normally I'd have expected better reasoning from someone who uses the word "inimical" up in #9, by that claim was just as poorly developed.
