How Christianity benefited europe when greek and Rome have already created empires,art,statues etc. of course Christianity is better than islam because look at Persia. Also I don't think Israel would have existed in modern world without the mass believers of Christianity in Europe.

>began looking again at what are now considered pagan greek and roman ideals
Except that all these greek and roman ideals/philosophies were well known by the time of Jesus. If anything, Europe lost the original Christianity and then rediscovered it. For example, many say Christianity incorporates Plato's forms. And Plato wasn't rediscovered again until Pletheon.

Pakistan and Bangladesh (both of which are just Muslim India) are non-pagan and they still have the exact same fucking issues. Indian Christians also exist and they are just as filthy as the rest of India. So it’s not a religious issue but rather a racial one.
If you want a better example of what Europe would look like if it remained pagan, look at Japan. They are doing far better than your Latinx shithole

>>18601844
How do you think Japan arrived at our idea of an ideal nation? Who do you think they modeled themselves after?
>>
>>18601855
The Chinese, who prior to communism were also a pagan society given that Buddhism and Taoism are pagan religions
>>
>>18601844
Athens and Rome were ideal pagan societies, so Christian societies modeled themselves after Athens and Rome. Christianity was understood as an extension of Athenian philosophy, with the Reformation making it more Nordic.

Then Japan fashioned itself after Christian European societies in every way.

When mass secularization arrived in Europe, it went through the convulsions of bolshevism and fascism, two suicidal world wars, and then a dreary end-state of pagan cults where the river and lightning gods have been replaced with COVID masks, Obama, and FIFA matches.

Modern European superstition around masks and football matches are a return to pagan behavior.
>>
>>18601858
wrong, they modeled themselves after Christian Europe.
>>
When the modern European man cries and screams and tears his hair out because when Ngubu kicked the ball, the wind blew the wrong way and the ball missed the net, that is a return to the pagan behavior of crying and screaming and throwing yourself into the bog because the auguries over the lamb entrails foretold a bad omen.
>>
>>18601863
Japanese society and culture has more in common with pre-communist China than it does Christian Europe.
>>
When the modern European man gets in your face and starts recording you and threatens to report you to the police because you didn't wear a mask which meant you were breathing evil miasmic demons into his body, that is pagan behavior.
>>
>>18601870
everything we admire about Japanese society arrived there from Europe. The Meiji government modeled themselves after Great Britain, not China.
>>
The Japanese army system was first French, then Prussian after Bismarck won the war.

Their navy, railways, and postal system was modeled after the British

Their constitution was Prussian

Their education system is French.

They wore top hats, tailcoats, and danced in ballrooms to Viennese waltzes.

Eating beef was banned in Japan due to Chinese superstitious bullshit and it only ended when Emperor Meiji publicly ate beef after seeing superior European physiques and their meat-heavy diets.

The Europeans were less superstitious because they were Christian.

A Christian may believe Christ came back to life, but a pagan believes there's a demon living in the cow.
>>
>>18601879
Belief in flying magical rabbis, the creator of the universe focusing his attention on one specific tribe of goat herders, and virgin births isn’t superstitious?
>>
>>18601874
No, it’s from China. Cleanliness in Japanese culture comes from China
>>
>>18601906
None of that was essential to Christianity. You should try learning what Christianity is and why people like the Vikings converted. It wasn't because they liked flying rabbis.

Christianity was a prescriptive religion, it ordered a certain morality and lifestyle, it required faith in the Lord and the following of a righteous path. It had norms, it had a sense of right and wrong.

You can see why this would appeal to Vikings. They were Aryan and enlightened enough to grasp that it would be better for their people to embrace morality and rigorous faith than to stumble around blindly in the dark like a Chinaman scared of eating beef because there might be a demon in the cow.

Chinamen were not evolved enough to grasp that their superstitious paganism was literally turning them weak and effeminate

>>18601966
I think you have that mixed up, the Norse themselves wrote in their chronicles stories of eagerly converting pagans to Christianity in Orkney.

And even if you say it was Charlemagne that pressured the Norsemen to convert, then you have to deal with the unavoidable reality that post-migration period, we have centuries of power being absolutely concentrated in the hands of Franks and Anglo-Saxons, starting with Clovis and cemented with Charlemagne, and each one of them making the choice to take the baptism.

If Clovis and Charlemagne were converting under duress, who exactly is to blame at that point?
>>
>>18601973
*The elites willingly converted, the majority of the populace didn’t and had Christianity forced upon them. There’s the fact that the state had the audacity to outlaw paganism and institute penalties for worshiping the Aesir.
>>
>>18601967
you are right on meiji being basically copy of European societies (or in this case, maybe more like anglo world) but Japanese culture is much more than Meiji is.

Also I am not sure how much you can attribute christianity directly (and I mean directly in very straight terms, of course christianity is the answer why things ended up this way) to what the anglo system ended up being. Is it culture or christianity? European societies really have very different ideas of perfect systems and they just sort of happened for economical and political reasons to be almost the same. British dont have a constitution, the France has very republican system, Germans have very hierarchical and technical system that is old fashioned and slow to change, southern europeans have very family oriented society where state seems to not have that much grip over them, nordics have very free but at the same time very conformistic society and laws which the state or supranational governments and organizations give them are like the law of moses...

Korea has arguably more christian influence than Japan but you wouldnt really believe it if you didnt know about it
>>
>>18601978
In my perspective that is basically a good thing and one of the benefits of Christianity. If you want a functioning modern society, people can't be encouraged to believe there's a demon in the swamp, at some point the swamp may have to be drained.

The Netherlands is like mostly reclaimed land, that couldn't have been accomplished if they all still believed the rivers and lakes were filled with fairy nymphs
>>
>>18601985
>you wouldnt really believe it if you didnt know about it
trust me, I know about it. The Koreans here walk down the street singing about Jesus.

I guess I believe that Christianity is a moral code and a faith in the Lord and his book. So the Anglo, French, and German systems of society, something inevitably intertwined with morality and faith and oaths of allegiance, are far more representative of their Christianity than if they were making superficial outward proclamations of religion, like painting crosses and pictures of Jesus everywhere.

I don't believe Christianity made Europe great because it made them superstitious about flying rabbis and desert Jews. In fact the opposite.

Christianity did not civilize the Europeans, it was a consequence of their civilization. Man can remain a pagan fearful of Olympus only so long as he can't take a $100 plane ride over Olympus.
It's the mark of a severely mentally retarded populace to remain fearful of cows and elephants and rivers into modernity.

>Europe under Christianity creates a fantastical age of heroes, legends and the most beautiful art in the world and then later is blessed with massive riches and technological innovation

No difference, in my opinion. Christianity only put fuel the fire. But the causes had already been established 300 years, before Christ was born.

It didn’t really change much for Greece and Rome, but it definitely empowered the Germans the moment they embraced it. Pagan Germany was being pushed west by the Slavs, it would be Charlemagne and his successors that would reverse this course.

Wrong, Church-orchestrated asylum migration is only a small fraction of immigration.

Most immigration is people coming to work, then their extended families are allowed to come with them, then they have kids. There are also diversity lotteries, illegals can get amnesty.

The rest is asylum/refugee naturalization, but the Church is just a pawn of the government in that case, it's the government that funds it and oversees it and it's the government that could stop the Churches from doing it at any time.

These are governments that came into power democratically after the masses secularized and stopped going to Church or reading the Bible, and reverted to pagan superstition over things like sportsball and COVID and evil greedy billionaires, who have replaced demons and warlocks.
>>
>>18604170
>Most immigration is people coming to work
Facilitated by churches and synagogues. I live in the bible belt, anon. Every devout christian you meet will brag to you about the immigrants at their church that they've helped bring here. And essentially all of the NGOs that lobby Western governments to admit more immigrants and set up infrastructure for importing them are christian or jewish or both.
The average pro-immigrant atheist has spent zero seconds and zero cents on importing them. Meanwhile the average "nationalist" christian regularly house sits for a family of Guatemalans he helped find jobs in the US and sends his kids to a third world country every summer to do unpaid manual labor for shitskins.

You can reduce Christianity to an aesthetic preference but it's the wrong choice.

Russians adopt Christianity because we were like hey this Christian stuff is neat. we can actually write and keep record of things and we get useful business contacts with ERE which was then superpower of Western world.
