I'm quoting you.
Somehow, you think Democracy, Liberty, Free Expression, Tolerance, Brotherhood all stem from some Middle Eastern Religion from 2,000 years ago.

I said no such thing.
You should address what I actually wrote, not what you wish I wrote.

I wrote my understanding of the historical facts, as best I can ascertain them, without making any value judgement.

Post #113. Your post to me.

"precisely consistent with what I wrote.

Our intellectual heritage is from antiquity.


We learned logic and reason from Aristotle and Plato.

We learned history from Herodotus and Thucydides.

We learned math from Euclid and Archimedes.

We learned geography from Ptolemy.

We learned drama and poetry from Sophocles and Homer.

We learned law and architecture from the Romans.


Our day to day social norms ethics, and cultural values comes in substantial extent either directly or indirectly from the West's two thousand year engagement with Judeo-Christianty."

^I quoted your last sentence^

You must be high on crack. Nothing about my quote makes a value Judgement, good or bad. I can make a laundry list of the positives and negatives of a Judeo-Christian civilization.

I have assume the meth you are smoking is impairing your brain. No one with an unimpaired mind could read the quote below and leap to the conclusion I am supposedly minimizing, downplaying, demeaning Greco-Roman influences on western civilization:
