Right now, you will get your head bitten off for saying this.
This guy yearns for the good old days. He better be careful what he wishes for.
Hey, at least this guy admits that Christianity did its best to hold back science and technology until only a few centuries ago, and that even after that it tried to allow it to grow only a little. Good thing its restrictive efforts haven't been entirely successful.
>>Someday when science creates perfect, five-sense virtual reality via cranial implants, we should create a digital reproduction of the Spanish Inquisition, complete with every torture device history can recall, and put motherfuckers like this into it for a little stroll down memory lane.
The Asstastic Crusader never considers for a second that without scientific advancement Europe would never become a colonial power. Without technology The empires of China or the Middle East would have been the first to stake claim on the world, conquer the pitifully backwards pre-rennaisance Christians and he'd probably be born a Taoist, Buddhist or Muslim.
Yes, I'm glad you and your social luddite friends are not allowed to cut my head off for stating the truth about the bible. I do not, however, believe in "lucky stars."
Why does the vinegar-man hate his own???http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoscience )
StandardDeviant,
"No, Mama. They don't do it like that anymore. He said we should all sit down and hate each other with good Christian fellowship."

Religion has been, and continues to be, the most regressive force on Earth. It's more rabid proponents have perpetrated a litany of injustices against men, women, and children.
We Christians have been laying low for too long, but we´re slowly being pushed into militancy by " pseudo- scientists"

Yeh it's a fucking blast wasn't it... Set society back 1,500 years.

"Nothing wrong 'bout fresh starts"?
Yeah, if you make a Christian mad, you better wait for that Holy Wrath to kick in. Love and tollerance are thoroughly unchristian traits, afterall.

<<< I´d say the greatest crime was letting Galileo and Copernicus off the hook... Westerners were perfectly OK living in a flat topped , geo-centric Universe until that pair of "saboteurs" came along. >>>
they relaxed that in the east first..
oh, and no, that was because enough people realized that it was wrong to kill soemone for realizing that your full of shit. oops.
"All you pseudo- scientists should count your lucky stars Christians decided to relax things here in the West allowing science and tech to grow a little"
How's life in Backwards-land? I think you'll find that several centuries ago, the Roman Catholic Church had absolute power over most of Europe (even over kings). Then came the Renaissance. And then the rot set in. Certain people started questioning Catholic dogma. They started looking into things with new, questioning eyes, and they made discoveries. They published their findings. More & more people started to listen to them, instead of the priests, cardinals & Pope. Oh, the Vatican tried their hardest to grasp onto their dwindling power, acting against the likes of Galileo. But the cat of new knowledge was already out of the bag.
And now, God - once at the centre of human importance, was gradually pushed further away from the centre of that platform as the centuries went by. Nowadays, he's hanging on by his fingernails to the edge of that platform. And one day God will be plunged into the Abyss of Human Irrelevance, to join all the other fantasy deities of mythological yore. And that day is coming, and very soon.
Western science & technology is merely allowing God to hang there, because it suits our purpose. To have someone to gloat upon, when the time comes to push him into that abyss.
And to enjoy the exquisite sweetness of you fundies' tears of ultimate FAIL and despair when everything is explained by science.
The Christian didn't decide to relax things, they were more or less forced to relax things.
Maybe, if they hadn't come out of the religious haze, the Middle East might have continued with its advanced science and technology, and might have landed on the moon centuries before it actually happened.
They actually think Christianity mellowed and allowed other ideologies to take form and control. Christianity was told to stand back and stay there due to its misreable atrocious historical record.
The western world is what it is despite religious interference.
So you still want people to be beheaded for expressing an opinion? Also, don't put down the advancments science made. We you and me both might be dead from illness if we didn't invent modern medicine, because there was one point in my life where an IV saved my damn life.
The Ascetic Crusader: OH shit, it's rare for a findie to come to us directly.

NO worries, anything that is learned can be just as easily un- learned. With the proper \"motivation\" that is.
So you support executing people for telling the truth. I thought one of your commandments said not to bear false witness. hmmmmm. contradiction bro?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
