Christianity, in it's extreme form and in general, is detrimental to society.

Salutations, Spock. I will now be explaining about why I'm still correct.You said that my first claim was wrong. "Christianity is not detrimental, but actually supportive of our economy" was just my resolution. My whole speech was basically talking about it. You also said that my argument ( which was our society is doomed without Christianity) used an editorial which was unreliable. Actually in most debates, you need a source. Also, if the editorial is unreliable and untrue, why are the unreliable news ( according to you) spreading? I mean if the editorial is spreading untrue news, what is the point of having editorials? Editorials and newspapers are created so that people know what's happening. The Telegraph News is a famous editorial/ news, and it is illegal to spread fake news. The reporter ( of the Telegraph) also probably researched more than you did, otherwise the editorial would've been way shorter. You explained why the Western Civilization was actually born of ideas. Yes, the Western Civilization was born of ideas, BUT Christianity basically created Western Civilization. According to Yakima Herald News, " Biblical Christianity lifted Western civilization from barbarism and superstition, enhanced the role of women, ended slavery, built schools, hospitals, and orphanages, discouraged racism, formed the foundation for modern science, and brought social stability and morality resulting in financial betterment for the masses." Without Christianity, our Western Civilization would've been extremely weak or it would've been in chaos just like USSR.

Correct, but I don't think my opponent understood my argument. My argument meant that without Christianity, 78.4% of the U.S. Population will not find their right, comfortable religion. This is bad because many people will not find a suitable religion even though they want to find one ( making the U.S. citizens sad). He also said " He explained why Christianity is unfair because it opposes against homosexuality, and it doesn't help people to 'pick and choose' " argument was wrong.I think my opponent copied and pasted a wrong part. He accidentally put his own argument thinking that it was my argument... Anyways, he said that I had taken out "pick and choose" out of context. Yes, but that's because my opponent didn't do a nice job explaining ( no offense, Spock). Now, I will answer the argument. Yes, couple of rules they did not want, but most of the Bible's rules are helpful. The commandments states you shall not steal, lie, murder, and etc. I do not consider that these are bad, and that is also why 78.4% of the U.S. population are obeying the Bible's rules.My opponent had stated that if there was no Christianity, there would be no problem against homosexuality. Untrue. There are several people who are not Christians, but dislikes homosexuality. He also stated when the reliance beings to influence economic or public policy in a secular nation, then a problem manifests. Yes, it does, but think about the Great Depression. We survived through it even though U.S. was in a huge chaos. Christianity is not as bad as the Great Depression, so it won't affect much. Readers, think about my argument which was "Christianity created the Western Civilization". Without Christianity, the U.S. would have not been here or it would've been extremely weak.He also didn't know why I brought up and talked about Heaven's Gate.That is because Heaven's Gate is the detrimental religion, not Christianity. In the paragraph, he put "Christianity is not ruining society, and I never said this. A strict, radical form of it is merely hurting it; it's pushing it in the wrong direction."If it's pushing it in the wrong direction, and it keeps going and going ( worsening our society), you basically meant that Christianity is the ruining society. That is why I refuted against it. So for all these reasons, please vote for the negative side of this debate. Thank you!!!Fare thee well, Spock.
