Is it me or are liberals now routinely anti Christian and anti Semitic?

    No, it means you are pretending on one of them.

    There are real Nazis out there. They're all on Team Trump. And nearly every conservative plants big smoochy kisses on them. Trump himself called them fine people. Most conservatives aren't Nazis, but most conservatives do run cover for Nazis.

    That's utterly delusional, your claim there that Jesus invented the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule was around long before the era of Jesus. Your claim is also bigoted against Jews, as you're saying they couldn't have been moral before Jesus was around.

    No. We are a free thinking society. Let society determine morality.
    The abraham religions have pretty nasty morals.

    If I thought that conservatism more correctly exemplified Jesus' perspective rather than that of the Pharisees that he routinely criticized, I would consider changing my political affiliation. Professing to be a Christian but ignoring the moral responsibilities does not make one better than a nonbeliever.

    Most who criticize Christians are mainly critical of the widespread associated hypocrisy.

    I am mystified as why you would think that I was anti myself a Christian or anti Semitic ! Is your question about how Western civilization would have developed if not for Jude-Christian values just curiousity?
    It is hard to say what would have happened. Muslimism uses Christian and Hebrew roots so there possibly may never had been thevMjslim religion. Could something worse than Muslimism have emerged? Who knows. Would Budism have spread West? I would say that no matter what religion Romans adopted Rome the empire would have eventually fallen.

    There is a whole thread in the religious forum where this question is discussed in detail.

    No need to do it here also.

    Unfortunately, people go for the answers they can intellectually handle, and then run with it. For the atheists, that goes something like...

    "there is no god, no devil, and people who believe in pie in the sky promises are idiots who should be called out for their idiocy".

    YOU initiated the attack, but feel no need to justify your allegations???. . . . Not a very effective rebuttal technique.

    I didn't attack anything, I stated a fact.

    I don’t think people who believe in angels to be idiots. I say to each his/her own. If it makes one feel better to believe in an invisible man in the sky then go for it. I just can’t stand those people who want to change my mind about god....and there’s no shortage of those people.

    I think we need to cut them a lot of slack because religion is part of being human. We all have a religion of one sort or another. Get rid of Zeus and you'll replace him with somebody else. Religion is one of those things that can be found throughout history and the world. Even atheists have religions, although they typically replace Zeus with Queen Hillary or Satan.

    You are confusing "fact" with opinion, and not even citing links or giving an argument.

    You drank the koolaid! American Citizen children often get separated from their parents when they break the law also. What's moral about that?

    LOL....false equivalency. But I don't expect you to have the intellectual honesty to discuss this.

    Definitely. The middle ages were famous for how everyone in Europe followed the golden rule. Only during the modern age when they became more secular did they become warlike and barbaric.

    Just because sheep in the past didn’t question things doesn’t means it’s right. But like I said, by all means pray to the invisible man in the sky if that makes you feel better.

    There are many conservatives pretending they are Christians.

    We all do. Religion is part of being human. It's like being a vegetarian. Just because you stop eating meat doesn't mean you stop eating.

    Jesus and Luther taught the 10 Commandments to billions thus creating morality on earth. Did you think morality came from the Girl Scouts?
