Come off it Runner, <<To ignore that hospitals were largely built by Christians, schools introduced by Christians and people lived in harmony due to Christian teachings is ignorance and foolhardy.>>

For nearly 2,000 years people lived in fear of their lives because of Christianity, they were kept in a state of blinding ignorance, by the Church hierarchy. How many wars have be fought, and how many lives have been lost in the name of the Christian God?

Now, who is being ignorant and foolhardy.

Paul1405

u prove my point.

People will choose a lifestyle they at the time are convinced are right. Paul has chosen a lifestyle that he believes in that is deliberately antagonistic; but has not researched adequately outside his present convictions. I say educate the young in lifestyles that give social growth and harmony. The history of the Roman Church has not been one to meet that criterion. But has Paul read the ideas contained in the New Testament and understood them or just cherry picked things that suit his antagonistic bias

Children in all schools should be taught about the various religions and their claims.

Miracles, for example, could be studied by the students, and their refutation by science to show the kids just how the ignorant are taken in.

Yes runner, he did prove your point. Atheists are not smart.

You silly assertion that in some way,

"people lived in harmony due to Christian teachings is ignorance and foolhardy"
That would be true if you turn a blind eye to the mass killings that Christianity has been responsible for.
