Pretty sure that the set of Greco-Roman ideals that were Christianized were those of divine right, empire and serfdom. The concempts of democracy and republic were suppressed until a country managed to separate its government from religion.

She perfects the intentionally cheap and trashy while attempting to be sexy look. - Comment on The Infallable Word of God (2012-11-04 22:45:58)
This is a bad argument. It describes something that is circular in shape, but not necessarily a perfect circle. - Comment on bug evolution (2012-10-23 06:39:37)
But think of the little geeklings that won't know what that background noise in Evangelion is. - Comment on Agitated Brie (2012-10-23 06:37:36)
What are the other options? She has somebody jiggling them from underneath, just off camera? Or that Community pays for CGI jiggle? - Comment on Masturbatory (2012-10-23 06:35:44)

Why do you hate successful people? What should a nationally syndicated kids show performer with recognized voice acting and puppetry skills make in your sick utopia make? - Comment on Religion (2012-10-15 21:58:29)
Really? Most atheists I know like to discuss and debate and if given good evidence, they would change their minds. In fact, atheists tend to know far more than theists when it comes to religion. We tend to have examined the claims of a variety of religions and found that outside of a few bits of good philosophy here or there, they are laughable fables. That you can't convince atheists to believe with bad arguments and poor evidence doesn't mean we have our fingers in our ears, just that you haven't given us anything that impresses us. In fact, their arguments tend to be ones that I've already heard a dozen times before. Kalam, Pascal, argument from appearance of design, argument from ignorance, arguments from negative consequences, argumentum ad hitlerum... I've heard them all before. Come up with something new and we might not just roll their eyes. - Comment on Earth town vs. space rock (2012-10-15 21:47:51)
Awesome reference. - Comment on Earth town vs. space rock (2012-10-15 21:46:57)
Unless it just materialized there, the meteor shouldn't look so pristine. It should be a flaming ball of very bad day. In fact, the concussion wave moving ahead of the meteor should have turned the town to dust and matchsticks. - Comment on Dead inside (2012-10-12 01:34:51)
Dont dead open inside? That doesn't make any sense. Let's see what is in there. - Comment on scrafy the janitor (2012-10-09 18:43:58)

I have read the bible. I think you may have missed a fair part of the NT if you say that there is no hellfire or burning for sins, unless you, as a god fearing Christian, consider the parts you don't like to be metaphor. It is because of the bible that I reject Christianity. The god in it is an evil tyrant. It gets the most basic laws of good and evil wrong, i.e. slavery, genocide. I don't like the average American Christian because they want to force other people to live by their religious law, and when people object to this, they claim that they are being oppressed.
