But not much else. All of the tenuous psychological progress people were making as a whole were shut down. Whatever you think it is that Christianity contributed, it started earlier.
Women's rights were already in progression, they could vote and initiate divorce, etc, etc.
The Persian's where like, "okay just sign here and you can worship whoever. (or some other empire, I get it a little mixed up sometimes).
The Renaissance was essentially the process casting off of religion, which is basically the defining factor between first world and third world countries. And that's not even mentioning the unfathomable amount of knowledge lost to general christian dickery during the crusades or whatever else.

I don't have anything against religion, per se, I think it should be respected as something that, at the very least, brings people hope, but it just really pisses me off sometimes when I think how much longer everything is taking when it was already in the works 2000 years ago.

Sure, it's a little more complicated than that. And maybe if it hadn't been Christianity, a different religion would have stepped up and done the same thing. But it's the fucking future and there are still people rioting in the streets because gay people can't be legally tarred and feathered anymore.

What clear thinking person wouldn't get mad at that? It's the year 2013 and people still run around spitting out the same bigotry as in the year 1320.

Are you fucking serious? Who the fuck gives a shit about the idiot, how is anyone person that much of a raging attention whore, let alone two? Who spontaneously breaks down in tears when a mean word is said IN THEIR GENERAL VICINITY?

Ugly covers. And reviews on the front cover. My hate for them is almost irrational.

And ugh. When there are fifteen pages of reviews from other books at the front, but they don't tell you the synopsis of the book they're reviewing. What's left is just random praise without context. for a book you're not reading. Who does that? Why?

I WRITE LIKE STEPHEN KING.
It's not the worst, I guess.

No. You're implying stupid things.
