the final boss after you clear Donald Knuth(hexbear.net)

I hope you’re just really misinformed and not just really racist but you should take a quick stroll to your local library, buy a few history books and look around.

Christianity has been far more brutal and repressive for a lot longer than pretty much every other religion out there.

I’m Armenian, so I know you’re bullshitting me in the context of the Middle-East. We are not talking Americas and Africa here.

Which doesn’t change anything in the conversation that started about “the Islamic world” being built on the conquest of more civilized peoples, which were mostly Christian.

Also I’m fine with reducing Christians to “middle-eastern Christians” here. Others don’t seem really Christian from there anyway. For these reasons as well:

King Leopold murdered ten million Congolese. The British empire 100 million Indians. The dutch started the slave trade.

Only I think the Portuguese started the slave trade. Not that it changes anything.

Pretty sure Persia, India, and China all had great empires and knowledge well before Christianity was even a little sperm cell in the Judean god’s sac but sure

Which btw most of foundational mathematics was created in the Eastern and Persian world, not by Christians. And it was from there that the Greeks got their knowledge. To the point Pythagoras was not the one who created or realized the Pythagorean theorem, it was just named after him because of the western world. And that was a couple thousand years before Christianity existed.

The literal word Algebra comes from Al Jebra and his works.

So yeah you’re just racist and misinformed.
