What has it done? It gave us the Inquisition, the dark ages and the "prosperity gospel" by the likes of Creflo Dollar, Joel Osteen, and Robert "Gasman" Tilton.
Christianity—like most religions—advocates that the corporeal world is evil and only hobbles you. Religions is the philosophy of death. Die to live forever. Yeah, I'll pass. I'd rather live now, fully.
Name one thing that we owe and is original to Christian philosophy
Come on, avxo. You're smarter and more educated than that.
Love it or hate it, Christianity did play a very important and positive role in history.
The dark ages were the result of the fall of the Roman empire. Christianity had nothing to do with bringing the dark ages.
During the dark ages, Christianity actually saved Europe. Monasteries were responsible for preserving education and very important literature.
Without a Roman emperor to keep them united, Europeans stayed united under their new Emperor, Jesus Christ.
Christian armies helped keep the Muslims from invading all of Europe.
The Inquisition was bad, but it killed hundreds as opposed to millions killed by modern, communist, atheist governments.
The Crusades killed thousands, but they kept the Muslim invasions at bay and helped end the dark ages by the sharing of information and technologies of the time from different parts of the world.
Like it or not, many great advances in technology, medicine, finance, etc. happen during times of war unfortunately.
The prosperity gospel in no way represents Christianity and it accounts for only a tiny part of the population of those to profess faith in Jesus Christ.
Christianity is not a philosophy of death, but of life. It's interesting that the more secular a country is, the higher the suicide rate. How's that for a philosophy of death?
I could go on and on, but you get the point.
