Christianity's greatest flaw is their extreme inclusivity. I look at how man schisms and divides the many denominations have undergone and I see an ideology that has no possible way to regain soveriegnty. It's funny because this post perfectly elucidates the failings of Christianity while pretending like it's a reason for it's success. The only reason why Christianity was successful in the first place was because Constantine used the power of the state to force it on people as the official religion. This is no longer the case and I firmly believe it will never again be as popular as it once was. While I do respect it's attempt to guide people to a path that would most likely allow them to achieve a harmonious lifestyle, I do not believe all people actually want a harmonious lifestyle. I think people, because of my own personal experiences, want to know the truth above all else. And Christianity simply isn't equipped with the tools necessary to arrive at truth without doubt and certainty without error.

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.
