It seems rather foolish to demonize just the pagan world especially when you're not making rational equivalent timeframe comparisons. One can look to the most filthiest, unsanitary squalid conditions of medieval European cities or over to Scotland England or Ireland which at one time had the worst. Then imagine the starving hopeless poor living helplessly in those conditions down thru the centuries. That you don't find anything admirable of the entire human past or 'pagans' is telling, as Einstein pointed out there is nothing ''chosen' about the Hebrew, that would go for you as well. That we have learned to purify & protect ourselves against contagions, bacteria & water, animal & airborne disease has been always been a quest that has impacted our lives more than anything else. (except war) That we don't live still in an age of scarlet fever, malaria, polio, black death, water born choleras or the latest breakout of ebola, which now is effecting even global markets & economies. Now that we live in ever more dense populous cities & the chance for quick transport of threatening disease is possible. There's always been more than war that threatened us, there's always the diligent scientists ready to defend you & community, you just don't see it or pretend doesn't exist. They are there though, you should be thankful & these are also part of the legacy started by those 'pagans' that questioned & began those sciences which now protect you.
