Christianity has had more positive than negative effects on society and the world.

Dark ages The "dark ages" were not as dark as they are often considered to be. The Middle Ages produced classic literature such as "Beowolf" and "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight", great architecture such as the many castles and cathedrals, and art such as stained glass windows that rival modern art. The Renaissance depended on the science and philosophy of what was apparently "the dark ages". Modern philosophy is built upon the work of medieval philosophers such as Thomas Aquinas, who was a devout Catholic monk educated at a Catholic university. In fact, the first universities were created by Catholics who valued education. Historians have even found that "the Renaissance" was improperly named; there were in fact three other ones on the Middle Ages. [1] I'm not even going to respond to that inaccurate picture you linked from a highly biased, unreliable, random blog. Wars As you have said, many Christians have gotten themselves killed for their faith. That is a lot like soldiers dying for our country. Our country has problems, many of its people die unnecessarily, but it is still a good thing. I and many other people are proud to be American despite the country's corrupt laws and politicians, because it is still a young country and it is still trying to help people. The same could be said of Christianity. It has done bad, but it is trying to do good. That was an interesting link you posted. Let me respond to each part separately. Ancient Pagans Before you say that Christians are bad for killing pagans, first consider what the pagans did. They burned children alive as sacrifice, they allowed slaves to be mistreated, they dehumanized women and made them slaves of their husbands, they raped children, they killed Christians (that was probably their main motivation for killing pagans), and many other things. Being a pagan was rightfully seen as equivalent to being a murderer, a rapist, and a slave trader. [2] Mission Since you only showed two examples here, that shows how rare Christian corruption is. Remember what I said about wars. Crusades This was a war, so of course people died, and Christianity is not to blame. Muslims were oppressing Christians, and the Crusaders rescued them. [3] Atheists and Heretics All the examples here are a few corrupt Christians (although they were not really Christians) going against their religion. Witches This had nothing to do with Christianity. Religious Wars This is yet again Christians protecting Christianity from those who wish to harm it. Jews When Jews were harmed, it was either an unfortunate side effect of a war, a response to Jewish aggression, or a few corrupt bishops acting against their religion. Native peoples All the examples here are used as part of a huge cherry-picking fallacy. Many people believed that Native Americans were violent savages because many of them were, and stereotypes formed because of that. However, he is ignoring the Quakers who made peace with them and bought their land at a fair price, the Catholic missionaries who set up shelters and schools for the natives, and the French (most of them Christians) who traded with them and treated them equally with themselves. Extermination camps This had nothing to do with Christians. The so-called Christians who did this broke nearly all ten commandments in the process. This is also another cherry-picking fallacy; he ignores Maximillian Kolbe, a Catholic priest who was arrested for sheltering Jews and later volunteered to starve to death in place of a Jewish man (the Jewish man survived the camp). He also ignores the fact that Hitler discouraged going to church, and had many Christians killed for opposing him. I could go on and on things like this if I only had the time. Now I will respond to your last arguments: Judgment I am shocked by your ignorance on the subject. Muslims believe in God and we have had an atheist president (Abraham Lincoln). I will ignore everything you say here until you confirm your assumptions. False hope Christians do not think that God will do everything for them. They simply ask for help. Conclusion So far, you have found one negative effect of Christianity (radicals), while I have found four. [1] http://www.independent.co.uk... http://listverse.com...
