[Poll] India or Pakistan?

The Romans had writing. This is where Christian apologists fail. Hillaire Belloc says Rome = Christianity = Europe, but why the need for Christianity? Rome = Europe is more like it. The adoption of Christianity by Constantine made him divest all the "pagan" temples (and Roman military/administration) of funds and re-allocate much needed resources to the Church, which Gibbon basically blames for the fall of the Roman empire. Supposing Rome never converted, we would've still had writing and Roman civilization.

True. The whole of the Mediterranean world was evolving to a kind of ''Mediterranean Hinduism''. A complex set of many different theological perspectives united by Neoplatonic philosophy. Europe and the Near East would likely been very different places without Christianity.

No religious wars, no persecution, flourishing of science and so on.

Do you see how you're no different from Muslims? I'd say if was not for secular state and the legacy of the ancients Christians would be even more barbaric.

Native European religions are on the rise, wait to see.

Have fun with your athiest etho-nationalists larping around with wands and shit. You're no different than Muslims because you act like you have the moral high ground against Christianity, victimizing yourself all the way back to the stone age.

lol. I've met many Indians IRL. One of my Uncle figures from childhood was Indian, and I also traveled there. lol. Keep drinking that coffee, but remember it can stain your teeth!

Do Indians produce 'pretty' babies?

At least Christians don't worship rats or swim in filthy, corpse-ridden, water and pretend its clean.

Meh, during the Middle Ages, Christian Euros weren't that different...

There is no reason to think of 'What ifs." We know that Christians have more babies, though. And ultimately, that's what matters.

Yes. Indian babies are some of the cutest in the world. They don't age that well, unfortunately.

haha. Yes, the middle ages...one thousand years ago when we didn't know about germ theory and we were still trying to grapple with daily living...we couldn't tell dirty water sometimes...and worshiped rats????

I'll give it to you, the Roman Empire was one of the best things that ever happened to Europe. Great political system, but still oppressive of minorities. I don't know what you mean by "the Romans had writing", are you asserting that Christians were not learned nor were they intellectually curious? I agree with Belloc, Rome's legacy is still somewhat continued by Christendom.

Fuck your native religions eurofag, at least your ancestors weren't dumbasses like you and accepted the truth when they heard it.

You can't actually defeat this with a rational argument, so you resort to name calling. How mature.

Apologists claim that Christianity brought writing to Northern Europe (like you said it took Christians to record "pagan" myths), but Christianity is unnecessary for the civilizing of the barbarians. It was Romanitas that led to the civilizing of European peoples, not Christianity per se. If Rome had remained "pagan", who is to say the Germanic and insular Celtic tribes would not have been civilized still?

That obsession of yours about how babies look is somewhat odd... If a guy wrote the same comments, some FBI agent would be ringing his doorbell...

Hindus worship rats?

What a hypocrite, why don't you tell your pagan friend to not call me a sandnigger and a desert boy.

Hindus worship rats?

Only because you are used to weird, mannish women. The fact is that women naturally love babies. Women artists are generally known for drawing mothers and babies.

As for the rats...
Oh ho ho! You don't know?

I don't think Hindus worship rats, they believe they have a connection to the spiritual world and give them offerings for good karma or something.
