Your own country was founded on terrorism. Remember the British? God, you're so unversed. Be more like pinky - do your research, then post.

They seem to publicly downcry every other tragedy in the world. But oh yeah.. at the time they didn't like Jews too much did they? So i guess it wasn't a tragedy to them.

Under the banner of serving God,,,
I guess christians have contributed many many artistic and architectural advances over the centuries.
They also burned a lot of ugly chicks at the stake.

If anything good comes out of TRUE christianity then it is only going to be good based on the teachings of the bible... of which in summation is love

The only love in the Bible that I can find is in the actions and teachings of Jesus as described in the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Much of the rest of the Bible is full of hatred, condemnation, intolerance, revenge, and bigotry on the part of God as well as people. It's also got some great descriptions of God inflicting pain, suffering, pestilences, swarms, diseases, and assorted other nastiness on entire populations indiscriminately.

Noah's flood supposedly killed by drowning not only those who 'deserved' so horrible a death, but also innocent children.

The death penalty (the anti-love if ever there was one), is required punishment for numerous transgressions. Most executions are to be carried out by stoning but a few require burning alive. In some cases, God performs the execution himself; Lot's wife, for example, when she looked the wrong way.

Premarital sex is also cause for execution by stoning as is prostitution and adultery. See Leviticus and Deuteronomy.

A direct example of the (lack of) love in the Bible:

Genesis 9:5-6 "And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man. Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed."

2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

Um, ok, I guess we could. I don't see how it would pertain to the topic at hand, perhaps if a thread existed called "What have arabs contributed to modern society", it would be a bit more appropriate. You certainly can't post this cloptrop in the thread about MUSLIMS, as these things existed before a horny camel fucked an ugly arab prostite and she shat out Mohammed.

As a group, what have they contributed?

What has theology in general contributed, though all of the following also applies to Christians specifically:

==
We have already compared the benefits of theology and science. When the theologian governed the world, it was covered with huts and hovels for the many, palaces and cathedrals for the few. To nearly all the children of men, reading and writing were unknown arts. The poor were clad in rags and skins -- they devoured crusts, and gnawed bones.

The day of Science dawned, and the luxuries of a century ago are the necessities of today. Men in the middle ranks of life have more of the conveniences and elegancies than the princes and kings of the theological times. But above and over all this, is the development of mind. There is more of value in the brain of an average man of today -- of a master-mechanic, of a chemist, of a naturalist, of an inventor, than there was in the brain of the world four hundred years ago. These blessings did not fall from the skies. These benefits did not drop from the outstretched hands of priests. They were not found in cathedrals or behind altars -- neither were they searched for with holy candles. They were not discovered by the closed eyes of prayer, nor did they come in answer to superstitious supplication. They are the children of freedom, the gifts of reason, observation and experience -- and for them all, man is indebted to man. -- Robert Ingersoll

Great art.

I'm no christian, in fact I find their dogma to be far too uptight, but I still find their contribution to worldwide culture to be profound.

To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.'  Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence.  Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains.  Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

I believe there was probably only 1 Christian ever. Christian church, like any other human organization, is but a huge miss.
