Secularists having a paddy over the KJV Bible Readings

Christianity at the least served as a hindrance to those who sought to stereotype people based on outward appearance, and to exaggerate racial construction by assigning to those outward appearances negative views. That is one of the many books I have been reading while I am writing the paper for my senior seminar. I have to turn in the final paper by tomorrow morning, so I will not be able to argue this with you till finals are done. When finals are over however,

BY THE HEAVENS! SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK SAYING THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I'M SAYING! MY POSITION MUST BE WRONG THEN!!

Seriously though, christianity served as a hindrance to stereotyping? What nonsense. No christian ever death with slavery, imperialism, etc etc... No wait, it was Christian Europe who subjugated the inferior primitives around the world, driven by power-hungry christian zeal...

I'm not sure it's a coincidence that christian Europe got Hitler, while hindu/buddhist/muslim India got Gandhi.

OH WAIT, BREAKING NEWS!

Turns out someone wrote a book saying Communism is superior: Marx, Engels(1848): Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei. So..... Since they wrote them in a book, their words are now truth.

Sorry, capitalists, looks like you're beaten

I will be able to show you ample evidence of the overwhelmingly positive effect of Christianity on the world, that will be able to, I believe, convince even one as determined to believe otherwise as you.

I have no desire to discuss the importance of religion with religous people. It's a debate where the odds of any common ground at all is zero.

Just like I seriously doubt that you'd agree that Communism has been a positive force, I won't agree that Christianity has been a positive force.
