Quote:It was Christian ethical principles that eventually gave every human being an equal standing with their Creator and convinced modern nations to abandon slavery.
Anyway, I'm trying to be more open minded and analytical rather than just accept what might be hundreds of years of anti-Catholic propaganda. It kind of reminds me of the anti-American propaganda being levied against my nation now.
I was not trying to be anti catholic or anti something. I'm just saying that society creates moral standards and not religion. Religion just tries to keep using old moral standards (which most of the time make no sense). And I also just want to say that this is not typically a Muslim thing, the catholics, jews etc. do the same.
