Christist Contradictions and Twists

I watched a televangelist this morning while I was eating breakfast. I listened very intently and he stated the following:

Wherever Christianity has spread, it has brought with it prosperity, civilization, material wealth, literacy, health, and general morality.

Pretty broad claims!

Let's explore each of these points. Let's start with prosperity and material wealth. I think it's safe to group these two together. This is a patently false proposition. Japan is NOT a christian country but it is a very rich country. Bolivia, Peru, Philippines, Nigeria, Cameroon, Brazil, etc etc. are ALL christian countries but are very poor, under-developed, and economic basket cases. Not sure where this preacher got his evidence. Well, he's half right---Germany, England, Scotland, Wales, France, Netherlands are all very rich christian countries. See a pattern here?

Pattern Explained:

ALL white christian countries are rich countries.
All non-white christian countries are poor countries.
All non-white non-christian countries are rich or soon to be rich countries.

So, one could actually argue that christianity is a regressive religion for some and a very enriching religion for others. Why is this true? Let's explore how christianity was "spread" to non-white countries...

1. genocide
2. bribery
3. colonialism
4. exploitation and destruction of the native culture and religion

Could it be that christianity was used by the presently rich christian countries to impoverish the poor christian countries?

India and China were untouched by christianity for centuries, and from the beginning of the Common Era (1 CE), both India (Hindu) and China (Confucian, Buddhist) were the richest nations on earth until roughly 1820. That's a run of 1800 years of prosperity.

Form your own conclusions on whether christianity is a civilizing and prosperity-encouraging faith.

On morality and civilizing influences of christianity:

1. In the RICH Scandinavian christian nation if Iceland, the rate of alcoholism is 30% and in Iceland, Denmark, and Sweden, the rate of births outside of wedlock is also around 30-40%. christians can't blame Hindus or Buddhists for this state of affairs since there aren't any in Scandinavian countries.

2. In the USA, the rate of births out of wedlock for Blacks (majority of whom are christian) is 70%; or whites, it's 30%. Is this the fault of non-christians?

3. Ever been to that very Roman Catholic city of New Orleans during Mardi Gras? It makes the Kamasutra look like "Cat in the Hat".

4. Ever been to Las Vegas - started by Sicilian Roman Catholics. Wonder what the Pope thinks of this place?

It's safe to write that christianity does NOT have a civilizing influence and does NOT lead to an increase of morality.

Civilized and logical replies are welcome.
