Assimilate to what? Wal-Mart and shitty lawn ornaments?
They see 5,000,000 media outlets, all telling them essentially the same thing, "HOLY FUCK THEY'RE ALL NAZIS!!!"... & son-of-a-bitch, they believe it! Well, you would too if you never had reason to doubt, we're punished from birth for questioning, would be 100% shunned for believing anything else and the only outlets giving an alternate view were, let's be honest, less than amazing Breitbart and Fox News.
Shivers violently under the couch with the poodle.
Found the uptight liberal.
Your post is intellectually bankrupt. You're judging the past through modern context and lack either imagination or desire to seek the truth and admit that Christianity created colleges, saved female daughters from rape, bigamy, sacrifice (by being left out in the woods because people didn't want daughters) etc, etc and on and on.
ALL RIGHT THERE IN THE ARTICLE.
Color me surprised that you jumped right over ALL THAT and zoomed right in to the part you disagree with...then label the entire article "dishonest."
PROJECTION.
Oxford University, a Christian college, older than heart-extracting Aztec Pyramids. Plus, in my utmost opinion, you smell like ass. Boo!
Do you know which monk discovered genetics?
We can sit lobbing shitty, stupid, old-ass, dumbfuck gotcha questions at each other all day. What is this, junior high atheist debate club? Fucking at least try to put an interesting spin on the topic. Fuck me. And anyways, TRUMP 2020. Don't like a post? Guess what, genius.... here comes twenty more a minute, you'll probably like one of those better.
Christianity is not science.
WHO DAT GURL?
Not really. Try reading the article in a post instead of just breathlessly vomiting a response to a title and repeating stale, stale, stale, Atgeism 101cliches, pede. Also, quit judging the past by modern standards. Oxford U.... (who invented that?).....older than Aztec pyramids.
Not saying it's perfect. Nothing is. Buddhism and Hinduism tackle more thoroughly the persistent "monkey mind" phenomenon, without adding more pisdinke neurosis to the equation. And yet. And yet... It's ours,, more or less, to improve a we see fit.
Christianity has been intricately intertwined with the history and formation of Western society. Throughout its long history, the Church has been a major source of social services like schooling and medical care; an inspiration for art, culture and philosophy; and an influential player in politics and religion. In various ways it has sought to affect Western attitudes towards vice and virtue in diverse fields. Festivals like Easter and Christmas are marked as public holidays; the Gregorian Calendar has been adopted internationally as the civil calendar; and the calendar itself is measured from the date of Jesus's birth.
The cultural influence of the Church has been vast. Church scholars preserved literacy in Western Europe following the Fall of the Western Roman Empire.[1] During the Middle Ages, the Church rose to replace the Roman Empire as the unifying force in Europe. The medieval cathedrals remain among the most iconic architectural feats produced by Western civilization. Many of Europe's universities were also founded by the church at that time. Many historians state that universities and cathedral schools were a continuation of the interest in learning promoted by monasteries. The university is generally regarded[3][4] as an institution that has its origin in the Medieval Christian setting, born from Cathedral schools. The Reformation brought an end to religious unity in the West, but the Renaissance masterpieces produced by Catholic artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael remain among the most celebrated works of art ever produced. Similarly, Christian sacred music by composers like Pachelbel, Vivaldi, Bach, Handel, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Liszt, and Verdi is among the most admired classical music in the Western canon.
The Bible and Christian theology have also strongly influenced Western philosophers and political activists. The teachings of Jesus, such as the Parable of the Good Samaritan, are among the most important sources of modern notions of human rights and the welfare commonly provided by governments in the West. Long-held Christian teachings on sexuality, marriage, and family life have also been influential and controversial in recent times. Christianity played a role in ending practices such as human sacrifice,[6] infanticide and polygamy.[7]:309 Christianity in general affected the status of women by condemning marital infidelity, divorce, incest, polygamy, birth control, infanticide (female infants were more likely to be killed), and abortion.[8]:104 While official Church teaching[9]:61 considers women and men to be complementary (equal and different), some modern "advocates of ordination of women and other feminists" argue that teachings attributed to St. Paul and those of the Fathers of the Church and Scholastic theologians advanced the notion of a divinely ordained female inferiority.×Nevertheless, women have played prominent roles in Western history through and as part of the church, particularly in education and healthcare, but also as influential theologians and mystics.
Christians have made a myriad contributions to human progress in a broad and diverse range of fields, both historically and in modern times, including the science and technology,[11][12][13][14][15] medicine,[16] fine arts and architecture,[17][18][19] politics, literatures,[19] Music,[19] philanthropy, philosophy,[20][21][22]:15 ethics,[23] theatre and business.[24][25][18][26] According to 100 Years of Nobel Prizes a review of Nobel prizes award between 1901 and 2000 reveals that (65.4%) of Nobel Prizes Laureates, have identified Christianity in its various forms as their religious preference.[27] Eastern Christians (particularly Nestorian Christians) have also contributed to the Arab Islamic Civilization during the Ummayad and the Abbasid periods by translating works of Greek philosophers to Syriac and afterwards to Arabic.[28][29][30] They also excelled in philosophy, science, theology and medicine.[31][32]
Common criticisms of Christianity include oppression of women, condemnation of homosexuality, colonialism, and various other cases of violence. Christian ideas have been used both to support and end slavery as an institution. Criticism of Christianity has come from the different religious and non-religious groups around the world, some of whom were themselves Christians.

Abeed (Arabic: عبد, plural Abīd عبيد or al-Abīd العبيد), is a term in Arabic meaning "slaves". The name has been explained as an allusion to the submission that Muslims owe to God (Allah). Meyer dismisses this as "efforts by propagandists [to] explain the term away [that are] at the least, disingenuous".
The term is widely used in the Middle East and North Africa by Arabs in reference to black people, this is due to the historical legacy of the Arab Slave Trade wherein black people from East Africa were bought or captured, enslaved and sold by Arabs.
Oh, how I laughed out loud! His face in that last panel. Mwah! Priceless!
I like to think of it as a case of the universal in the particular.
In other words I honestly do not know.
Shhhhh
The pain will soon pass. It's ok. It's ok.
It's funny how no subset of Judaism can ever possibly be criticized.
"Rich, brown haired, sexually aggressive, pedo-predator, tribal, racist, asshole Jews...those the ones I do not care for!"
"OMG, anti-Semitism!!"

Shhhhhhh. It's ok. You got owned. Just take your beating like a man.
Yeah, you wouldn't know. You just got on the train after Trump won, after all your friends came around and after Trump was proven "safe." You really have no idea. Remain proud of your ignorance, though! No one can take that away from you! Your ignorance that is. Do you even understand the words in this post I wonder? Hmm
Shhh. It's OK.
Sounds like a bro.
