I have heard this quote many times spoken by smug concieted Hindus. But if you ever travel amidst the Hindu people you will see that Christian missionaries built all the good schools and hospitals and health clinics.

The original 13 colonies at the time of the Revolution were overwhelmingly descendants of persecuted Protestants from England, Scotland and France. They were the ones who put forth the Declaration of Independence in committee and later drafted the Constitution. If you hate Christians why not move to Bombay or Delhi or Calcutta and immerse yourself in the culture of Ghandi?


Ahh so now you paint over the Plymouth witch hunts , hangings for blasphemy, and burning at the stake all in the name of God. How quaint.
By the way, why is it that Christians need a tax free 2 million dollar house of god, when according to your bible the entire outdoors is the house of God. Greed and false Idols perhaps?

Not to start an argument with you , but the witch trials were in one small town, Salem, by a group of cult like people. Religion like many human organizations are flawed.

Christianity is a direct relationship with God, not a series of rules , practices and rituals. I believe in the Almighty and excepted His gift of salvation, but there are many short comings in most religious groups. Humans are all flawed with Greed ,selfishness, lust etc. It is impossible to get a group of even "Good People" together with out basic human flaws(sin) entering the picture. As far as science goes most people believe in gravity, relativity and such. but science has a way of being influenced by who pays for the research being done and the results they expect. Also corrupted by the same things that corrupt "Religion"
