Christianity
pastor cyber:
I(Jesus) have come, that they(mankind) may have life and have it to the full - John 10:10(NIV)
Christianity is not a religion. It is a way of life. Jesus never said, He came to give us religion. He said, He came to give us life.

--- Quote from: .:DaYg0sTyLz:. on January 09, 2010, 11:05:49 AM ---Jesus (as the son of God) is fictional, so it isnt Jesus himself that stunts scientific growth. But being a true believer of Christianity also means being a non believer in certain scientific truths (evolution for example). That mentallity can only lead someone to believe that Christianity itself HAS stunted scientific growth.

morbidenigma:
a concealed hidden semitic sky deity created the universe with his magical powers, let it evolve in violence & meaninglessness for billions of years, then intervened quite recently in in bronze age palestine/israel by using a pious jewish virgin to send his one and only offspring who also had superpowers, which he chose not to use to prevent himself being killed by 3 nails on 2 planks of wood by mere mortals.........but there was a reason for that ! he took the punishment for all of OUR sins, for we humans our sinners...... Then 3 days later he rose from the dead like a zombie into a new body & and now he talks to you and grants you wishes as your invisible genie friend who grants you more then 3 wishes.
THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY ANY OF THAT CAN BE WRONG

You know you're gonna burn in hell if you don't believe that, right?

--- Quote from: Shallow on December 24, 2009, 10:43:18 AM ---What a stupid poster. For one the "dark" ages did have quite a bit of practical advancements happen with regards to technology. What was left behind in science had nothing to do with the religion, but rather the conquering feudal kings who felt they should do away with everything their once Roman masters held high. It wouldn't have mattered if Christianity existed or not. The Byzantine Empire still held strong in science ad math through out most of the Western dark ages and it was very Christian. The great Church Ayia Sofia is an architectural marvel and it was built in those terrible Christian years of no progress.

So we have nice looking churches instead of time travel
