Make that 100%. If killing Jews, Muslims, and indigenous people on several continents Everyone knows Christianity doesn't authorize mass slaughter. the planet would have another billion people without them. That's a horrible lie. The opposite is true. And how hypocritical it is of you to even say this. You've complained about over-population in the past ... it is your Green Prog religion that would like to drastically reduce the human race. "The best parts of western civilization, including science, individual human rights, and freedom of conscience. come straight from Christianity. " LMAO. Galeleo vs the Christians? Galileo was a pious Christian. Prior to Darwin essentially all scientists were. His problem was the RCC had adopted Aristotelian science. Aristotle said the earth was the center of the universe and didn't move. BTW the pagan Greeks put people to death for teaching the wrong things too ... think of Socrates and Hippasus (put to death for discovering irrational numbers). Yes, Greeks and Romans put people to death for heresy ... that's why Christians were persecuted for 300 years. Consider Marcus Aurelius, the Stoic Roman emporer ... he is remembered for two things: 1) his high-minded writings on philosophy and 2) his zeal at executing Christians for not worshipping the Roman gods. As for the rest, Christians got that stuff from us. Christians did adopt Jewish ethics, naturally since Christians started out as a sect of Judaism. However, I'd have to say they may have improved on it when it comes to slavery. AFAIK, there was never a Jewish abolition movement. BTW you should probably know most anti-Christians believe the link to Jewish ethics and morals is especially damning. It's precisely the stuff Christians got from Judaism they don't like.
