On The Impact of Christianity

A truly fabulous post at Gates of Vienna on the impact and historical importance of Christianity. It touches on everything, from Christianity in literature, philosophy, contemporary politics, and lots of other stuff. CS Lewis, Machiavelli, Paul Fregosi, and lots more.

Take ten or fifteen and read it.

2 Christianity gave us the Knight Templar.  Hardly pacifist dhimmi types.

3 ps., according to Robert Kaplan in "Imperial Grunts", today conservative christians are overrepresented in the U.S. armed forces, including the special forces.  So don't mistake christianity for a religion of dhimmis.  Christians have been forgiven for their sins-- unlike Liberals-- so we don't go walking around feeling all guilty like they.  The dhimmitude isn't coming from christianity, it's coming from Liberalism, which comes from Marxism-- not christianity.

4 Despite the positive impacts Christianity has had in the past, the current result is that Christians tend to be rather useless in a real fight. Islam will dominate simply because Christians are too peaceful.

5 Conservative christians are overrepresented in the U.S. military, particularly the special forces.  That's hardly useless in a real fight.

6 As far as the Military is concerned. During peace time the cream doesn't rise to the top. The politicians do.
