Or the decline of Catholicism, and the rise of Protestantism?

Anyway, answers in bold below...

Eh, Athenian democracy is not very comparable to modern liberal democracy, a better comparison would be Puritan England Our economy? Not a christian product either, jesus wasn't so big on lending, better leave that to the juice, they're going to hell anyway.... What about Mr. Weber, the Protestant ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism?

No need to prove Christianity's sectarian infighting and bickering, we are already aware of that

The fact that you see it as infighting shows that you don't really understand it.

You blame bad stuff on the catholics, a catholic might blame all the worlds evil on you protestants... Oh, and let's have a little game of "who is really a proper christian?" shall we?

I hope every woman tunes in to hear them read Timothy 2:12.

Any yet the Catholics would be wrong.

I do not think Catholicism has been all bad for the world, they only are when it suits them. Right now an Inquisition wouldn't go down too well, so instead they promise the peace of this world and not the true peace offered by the gospel. They promise peace and unity and so the whole world flocks after the beast, even most of Protestantism. But it is the peace of this world and not the peace Jesus offered, who said himself "Think not that I am come to send upon the earth, I send not peace, but a sword" (Mat 10:35).

So I do not care how much bad stuff on earth is down to Catholicism, since that is not the peace I am interested in.

Eh, don't mind me, I'm feeling millenarian today...

What about Songs of Soloman? PVC says he uses it to make women weak at the knees.

That's like playing a game of "who's the prettiest Denny's waitress"...even if you win you have a lot of work to do.
