..Christians if you were living in that era once again, imagine
1. The Earth would have been still "flat" coz it was written in the Bible and the Age of Exploration would not have begun. Columbus would have been insurrected for heresy long back and no more scientific discoveries.
2. No flying machines (airplane) or any instrument of Satan as the Pope would forbid them.
3. We would be still in the Middle Ages stuck down in the same rut for centuries.

It's only when men started questioning the Bible and the concept of God that we are living in age where you can preach your gospel by the world wide web. Both Tim Berners Lee and Bill Gates, founders of this concept are atheists.

1. The Bible never says the earth is flat. The one passage that's taken as saying that the earth is flat (the "four corners" of the earth) was actually referring to directions of the compass.
2. No flying machine is ever mentioned in the Bible, instrument of Satan or not.
3. Bull. The Middle Ages is only primitive compared to NOW. But at the time, there were many scientific discoveries being made, advances in medicine and philosophy, not to mention building materials. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't be where we are now.

Actually, Judaism and Christianity have given us the most medicinal and scientific discoveries. Try reading the Bible and stop parroting what others say. No where does the Bible say the world is flat... Your statement was quite naive.

Guess you forgot how to read, last time I checked a circle was a ball.
Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
Since you can't get past the first, no use in hitting the rest.

I fail to see your point. The facts speak for themselves and we are no longer in the Middle Ages. Human reasoning can only be supressed for so long and people will look for answers. It's human nature no matter what we personally believe.

you're wrong bytheway. the Bible never states the earth was flat. people said that. God created the Earth ...i'm pretty sure then that He of all people would know how the Earth looked.

dude...
10,000 years of recorded history and I have no idea how you came to the conclusion that you came to.
Christianity wasn't "keeping us down".
In order to invent the computer, you had to have power, circutry, the ability to work on a small scale, mining operations SO ON AND SO FORTH.
It is all interconnected.

And your point is???? Do you really believe your non-since questions? And what difference does it make as to how successful one is, hell is no respecter of wealth, I assure you, no one will buy their self out of hell. No on.

That is very sound reasoning.
Yes, religion is a middle-age construct. It has no relevence today, except for the dim-witted and gullible.
