Well, thank you for taking that out of context. I'm sure since you were able to read back that far, you'd notice that-that statement was prelude to our previous argument regarding pre-flood civilizations. Allow me:

The founding religions of Judeoism and Christianity created society.


I didn't know that the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Babylonians, and Aztecs were Jewish/Christian.
Fascinating.


Those weren't the first civilizations. Pre-flood strata has shown that civilization pre-dated those cultures. And that subscribes to the account of the Old Testament.


okay, I was making a point about old civilizations. But following your flood theory then it only proves my point.
Those people weren't christians and most likely had laws and a moral structure.


The first civilization may not have been Judeo/Christian, but they most assuredly retained belief in the God from those religions. However, later down the line, they stopped caring and were proven to be exactly the opposite of what you assert. Body’s that were dug up from Deluge strata, as well as pre-Deluge strata, have shown evidence of mass amounts of sexual deviance (including incestuous pedophilia), cannibalism, and brutality. They definitely didn’t have morals. Whether or not they had laws is irrelevant in light of their behavior. If their actions were those laws, then your argument that implies lawful civilization is junked. What they were doing was neither spiritually nor secularly reasonable to be considered at all logically lawful.



Although, when you said civilization, I thought you were talking about the more recent ones surrounding Europe. So I suppose we were both a bit confused.

You, pariah, are a perfect example of why religion is bad for society. you sit around angrily typing idiotic (and sometimes bigotted) things and feel secure in being stupid because you've got a whole religion behind you that's just as stupid (not all members, just the vocal majority) and bigotted.
