Hi Edward
"Only way for progress"... I wonder if you have forgotten the terrible
things done in the name of the Christian religion and Christian civilization.
Leave the Old Testament for a moment for its incredibly bloody background but
do think about the Christian Crusades, The German genocide of people in South
West Africa, Vasco da Gama's butchery of Muslim men in Goa, Hitler's genocide
and destruction of the Jewish people, Stalin (once training to be a priest) for
his murderous regime and more importantly the genocidal elimination of millions
of native Indians in South and North America to 'progress' Christian
civilization. By way of example, in Argentina, millions of helpless Indians
were systematically and brutally eliminated "because they breed." You won't see
a single indigenous Indian there now and even the former significant black
population has virtually disappeared while Catholic cathedrals have kept
sprouting up. I was physically sick when I discovered all this when
I visited Argentina recently. I'm afraid if you think this is "progress" by
Christianity than you perhaps need to rethink your point of view, get out of
your amnesia, or try replying to this post. Above all please do not ignorantly
privilege Christianity over other religions.
