McClean whinging again.

No other civilization in the world produced the science and technology that came via our culture. And that was in spite of the Greeks, the Arabs and the Chinese etc having a head start (by at least the odd thousand or two thousand years).

Your delusion over the role of Christianity in the technological revolution is hilarious.

By your logic, anything that has changed is automatically credited to Christianity.

In reality, we had 1800 years where Christianity ruled in Europe and very little progress was made.

The thing that distinguishes Europe from those other cultures you mention was the Age of Enlightenment when Christianity started to lose its dominance.

You really should look up some basic history.

In an earlier post I mentioned the Age of Enlightenment and how it was enabled by the demise of the Inquisition (of course the Inquisition was nothing to do with Christianity and everything to do with political power). Your trawling back through my posts wasn't thorough enough. What you and your fellow woke gangsters are landing us with is a new Inquisition along with a new, undefined and half-baked religion for it to claim to defend. In your woke world there is no place for truth and logic - we are told that they are irrelevant.

It is the very fact that in Europe, Christianity was able to exist alongside science and logic that was special. Superstition and fear of the provable truth holds back human progress as it has done in countless other cultures. Take for example Saudi Arabia - it is effectively still medieval but wokery will try to have us believe that our culture is no better than theirs (they call it "Cultural relativism").

The collapse of church authority in Europe after in the Enlightenment did not end Christianity but rather it separated it from political power. People were still able to have religion to satisfy their moral and spiritual needs whilst not being under the power of those who claimed religious authority. The resulting system seemed to work rather well and it eventually brought us Amazon, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Tesla etc.
