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

Hello, Spock and the fabulous debaters who are reading this! I will now refute against my opponent, Spock, and explain why he was wrong.Resolved: Christianity is not detrimental, but actually supportive for our economy.My opponent had said, " 1. Christianity has gotten to a point in which it has begun to impede progressiveness in our society." Christianity, which is still a famous religion, hadn't done anything bad to our society. Actually, our society is doomed without Christianity. According to Telegraph News, we imagine we can ditch Christianity and yet the good things we have inherited in our way of life will continue. They will not. Christianity formed Western civilisation and is so consubstantial with it that if Christianity goes, the lot goes with it. Without Christianity, the 78.40% of U.S. population will not have their free rights to believe who they want to believe in.He had also said, " Strict Interpretation of the Bible is harmful to society." He explained why Christianity is unfair because it opposes against homosexuality, and it doesn't help people to "pick and choose" . I disagree with your arguments/contention.Spock stated that Christianity opposes against homosexuality. Yes, the bible goes against the homosexuality, BUT the homophile people has their own rights to believe in the rule of bible or not. I do not know why Chrisianity will affect the lives of homosexual people because the Christianity doesn't actually force the homoerotic people to become not homosexual. So, I do not consider that Christianity affects homosexuality. My opponent had also said that Christianity doesn't help people to "pick and choose". His argument is untrue. I am a Christian myself, and I don't have trouble " picking and choosing". The Bible doesn't force people to not "pick and choose", it actually suports people's lives. I used be a dull guy, but after I became a Christian, I transformed into a bright, happy person. This proves that Christians who use the bible doesn't have a diffucult time " picking and choosing".The Bible is not harmful to our society because it is a great and storied book (as you stated before). Bible is the holy book that made Christians change into better people (like it did to me).He had also said that people rely too much on God, and this is harmful to our society.Christians have their rights to rely too much on God or not. (Just like, homosexual people don't have to believe in the rule of Bible as I stated before). If you're not a Christian, let it be, don't rely too much on Him. I know a religion that will totally worsen our society if majority of people were in the religion. This religion is called Heaven's Gate. On March 26, 1997, police discovered the bodies of 39 members of the group who had committed suicide in order to reach an alien space craft which they believed was following the Comet Hale-Bopp, which was at its brightest. Heaven's Gate is the religion that will actually ruin our society.I will now ask you couple of questions. Without Christianity, what would've happened to the western civilisation? Who or what caused the big-bang (The big-bang created the universe)?
