Hey moron … if you want to make fun of Science, at least get your facts straight.

Don’t confuse certain sects of christianity with the whole … that is, not all christians are lutheran or catholic or mormon.

Don’t forget that Einstein called himself and athiest. Galileo, Newton, Edison, Da Vinci, and virtually every ground-breaking scientist and inventor in history were Deists/athiest. (I dont know about the others you mentioned but im sure they werent christian eather.)

Let’s see a list of Chrisitan accomplishments that can compare.

Pol Pot = not an athiest, Stalin = idiot, and guess what Hitler was a christian.

you’re a dumbass

p.s. Founding fathers = Deist

I know the poster Will will probably never read this but I still feel the need to write this since it was the first result on google. It doesn’t matter that several important artists and scientists were christian. The fact still remains No scientific advances were made during the dark ages.

If we had continued to scientifically develop can you imagine we might of had electricity hundreds of years earlier, we could be so advanced by now we might be entirely out of fuel but using alternative resources.

The fact remains that is that christianty has caused many more problems and caused several wars that were not needed. All the crusades wouldn’t have happened, America might not of became the a superpower in the world since the original Americans fled for religious tolerance from the English, The Civil war the bloodiest war in American history would of never happened.

Religion, Christianity in particular has helped many people, but it’s caused too much trouble to be good anymore.

True irfanshah, also let’s not forget the bubonic plauge, hard to advance anything when a third to half of the population die in a few months! No work force, no tax base, ect. Humanity was knocked backwards by a bunch of sick fleas!!

The dark Ages are actually the Golden ages of Muslims.

Sorry, but I think this poster is completely true.

If it wasn’t of christardity, most of the people on earth would be focused on making humanity ADVANCE rather than DUMBING IT DOWN with their fucked up IRRATIONAL beliefs.

At the above christard : And yes, after the collapse of Rome came the dark ages and you cannot dismiss that it didn’t help scientific knowledge AT ALL, hence the stagnation in the graph. At best, the black area would have been a rectangle instead and there would still have been a huge gap.

History is a good thing to know before you make a joke. The dark ages were not Christianaties attempt to remove all science and progress. A lot of it came from, you know, the COLLAPSE OF ROME! The romans got invaded by the barbaric tribes, taken out, and the barbaric tribes were the only civilizations left in Europe. There wasn’t as much science then, REALLY. There was a fragmented society, that to be honest was to a certain extent brought forward by the already organized christian church. Also, it was the political, economic, and social systems in addition to just religion that screwed everything up.
Sorry for the rant, but I’m tired of this poster, and the ignorant people who seem to love it. I’m a christian, ill admit, and I do realize that everything done by the people in my religion has not been perfect. However, Christianity can in no way be construed as the only reason we don’t have rocket cars.

Don’t confuse certain sects of christianity with the whole … that is, not all christians are lutheran or catholic or mormon.

Don’t forget that Einstein was a God-believing Jew, Galileo, Capernicus, Newton, Ford, Edison, Fulton, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and virtually every ground-breaking scientist and inventor in history was a christian of some sort.

Let’s see a list of athiest accomplishments that can compare.

Athiesm brought us communism, Pol Pot, STalin, Mao … thanks a lot.

you’re a dumbass
