..so basically your saying they are complete savages. no were about it. I won't deny Christianity has been an Alien influence, since it was imported from roman times, the dark ages and onwards. The difference between the Southern Catholic States and the North has been an attempt to adapt these ideas to the local culture. I mean if I was talking you 3000 years ago why the hell would I want to worship Christ when I had my own Gods? The answer is the universal nature of these ideas of suffering, and the consequent power they give to people. Christianity in Europe has very little to do with the Ancient texts and the issues you've been arguing. It's all about power and influence. Basically to me Christianity is an idea. So if Jesus Christ was black and an African, fair play, disnae matter to me, it's almost irrelevant to someone like me. What's important is the inspiration that people took from this man and his actions. Where the problem lies is the corruption of these ideas, as you have mentioned. Aside from that what evidence do you have about the savagry of Europeans? documents written by Christians? scholars of other religions? was the impartiality of the press an issue at the time?
