Correct me if I’m wrong but the church did actually play a role in the foundation of the universities of Bologna, Oxford and Paris.
Over 2000 years of history it’s a dynamic between things that went right and wrong. Copernicus and Galileo as famous examples of why things went wrong, dogma killed them. But also undeniable things such as the Vatican Observatory, translations of old manuscripts over the centuries, philosophy, art, etc.

Sadly those people aren’t famous for achieving anything but a freakshow
Btw tell me that story again of Christian’s who killed people for mocking their religion during the ceremony

And Islam doesn’t have the exact same sort of history? The Islamic Golden Age preserved and expanded upon the knowledge of the Greeks and Romans while Christian Europe was going through the Dark Ages. And then barbarically crusading to the “holy land” to kill Islamic infidels.
Civilizations and value systems (based on religions or otherwise) go through rises, peaks, declines, and falls. The fact some of y’all still think only Christianity and its values could ever have created a modern world is laughably ignorant.

It'sn not just that. Any society is really a mixture of cultures. This is particularly true for Europe that has had large multinational empires. The Romans had various religions in their empire and christianity arrived late in their reign. But Roman law plays a significant role in how we built up our legal and administrative system. The ancient Greeks were never really influenced by christianity, but their mathematics and philosophy are taught in every European school today. Then the Arabs arrived and we took knowledge from them too. Nothing in this world exists alone.

Yeah and nobody is claiming what Post Ironic is saying, it’s a false claim. But you can’t ignore that Christianity did indeed play a huge role in the foundation of Western societies, after all it has been the dominant religion since Constantine adopted it.
I find it interesting though to see that Europeans here are up defending Christianity, and overseas you see more frustration towards it. Interesting fact in this thread. Shows how different they’re there

I think the accusation was the equivalent of me saying andy is gay because he likes coldplay
Being gay comes with its own set of predispositions to certain mental issues, hypersexuality and compulsive sexual behavior come to mind in this context.
What does any opening ceremony have to do with sports, though? They're usually an homage to the history and culture of the host city or nation.
And that Islam argument is just woke posturing for the Oppression Olympics.
I'm pretty convinced da Vinci was into da Gays. But you're correct in that I never understood how a lot of the social groups that gays affiliate with have a lot centered around whom they have sex with, even if the social group is nobody they'd have sex with.
I never understood that. It's as if saying "All four of us like the taste of male ass, so let's form a bridge club."
If someone gay can explain it to me, I'd be eternally grateful. I never understood it.

It’s on the last page. Not that hard to find. And he’s not the only one.

We just reverse she-shedded this place.Meanwhile, people are blowing-up six-pixel images of a guy's nutsack on two frames of an Olympics video feed and triangulating the distance to the nearest on-stage child with colored arrows. And yet that somehow is more depraved than a convicted child rapist.
Chicks are for fags. 
Human dignity, family/community values (instead of individualism which is more a US export product btw), forgiveness, charity, ethics, holiness of life (not sure if well translated, see conservatism on abortion nowadays) are definitely values which are imbedded in Christianity and became core values of Western societies
