Would we still have the Sistine Chapel, the Notre Dame? Would Michelangelo still be as famous? A lot of classical music was created by composers that were inspired by their Christian faith, would classical music still sound the same?

Not a religious debate.

I was just listening to St Matthews Passion by Bach and it made me think of how many things I appreciate about our culture that are inspired by Christianity. How different would our culture be if the Church wasn't such a major patron of arts?

Rome harnessed Christianity to destroy the original white culture.

I think I'm going to remind everyone daily that Rome is the enemy of white people. If you look at mainstream history, Rome destroyed and ruled white nations for hundreds of years, effectively removing white culture that existed for thousands of years prior.

But yeah, mah nazis, mah hitlar.

I always thought Romans were white, no?

I don't know what to tell you. Likely story is that whoever rules Rome is not white.
