Amen...........Christianity profoundly influenced western civilization, and the western ethical, political, intellectual, literary, and artistic heritage we inherited. You will find almost no credible historians who dispute that.
One does not have to be a Christian to be able to recognize it's influence on the arc of western civilization.
The influence has been so profound we generally do not even recognize it on a day to day basis. I personally think it was a good thing that the golden rule replaced might makes right in the ethical pantheon. But the influence Christianity has on us foundational even if unrecognized. Almost all of us are imbued with ethical, intellectual, and philosophical maxims and tenets which can be traced back directly or indirectly to Augustine, Jerome, Thomas Aquinas..
I believe we would not even recognize our culture without the fusion and inheritance we received from Greek culture and Christian thought
IMHO part of the problem, like in the clip, is the term "values"... Unfortunately most don't live up to their own, moreless anyone elses..
The nation, @ least on paper has always had "values", which are hard to find if one goes looking for them..
Just look @ some of the values folks here.......
