![Every time Christians say to not do something [460x497 - 28KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/FubBHG.jpg){kind=link}
Actually Christianity was dominant well over 1,000 years after that simply because of two things; it was near exclusively White and utterly intolerant of anything else. Things like "turn the other cheek" and "we're all the same" style bullshit are modern inventions designed intentionally to weaken us. Christians of past centuries would take one look at this fagged up wreck of a world and put every goddamned pedo, politician and world leader in sight to the sword.
Yes I agree. That was my point. Constantine started the trend that you speak of. I didn't clearly account for where this trend ceases because thay was a gradual denouement that did occur over 2000 years as you have stated.
However, the intolerance towards new ideas is the problem with Christianity as well. When Galileo received his abjuration from the Catholic Church in 1633 he stated in a letter:
"The Holy Spirit intended to teach us in the Bible how to go to heaven, not how the heavens go."
My point is that although Christian religion will lend itself to social harmony, that will only last until the next extinction level event occurs. We live in a chaotic universe with immense forces we do not yet understand completely. Continuing to live blissfully unaware of the greater universe is the price one must pay for social harmony. This is a price we cannot afford if our goal is to perpetuate the human species for as long as possible.
