    video fail......his entire argument is based on the argument that Jews and Christians didn't create morality........it overlooks the fact that the morality that the West developed is not a Mesopotamian morality.......it is not a Greco-Roman morality.........it is in fact a Judeo-Christian morality........

    Have you never heard of Hamurrabi or the Egyptian Book of the Dead?

    Western culture is not built on either Hamurrabi's Code or the Book of the Dead........I have linked copies of both to threads we've discussed and still it is obvious you have never read either........

    I bet this from the Book of the Dead was the model for the freedom of speech, wasn't it......
    The Great Company of the gods say to Thoth who dwells in Khemenu ( Hermopolis ): That which comes forth from your mouth shall be declared true. The Osiris the scribe Ani, whose word is true, is holy and righteous. He has not committed any sin, and he has done no evil against us. The devourer Am-mit shall not be permitted to prevail over him. Meat offerings and admittance into the presence of the god Osiris shall be granted to him, together with an abiding habitation in the Field of Offerings (Sekhet-hetepet), as to the Followers of Horus.

    I don't think the morality of the Greeks or Romans was up to much (though I'm currently reading Marcus Aurelius). The morality of most European peoples was a mixture of folk-custom, Roman Catholicism and Christianity, in various proportions.

    The morality of most Europeans is based on the Enlightenment, which had its roots in ancient Athens. Of course, morality has evolved a lot since then, but if we had to pick a starting point to where Western Civilization began, in terms of morality and politics, it would definitely be the Enlightenment.

    That's only part of his argument. His argument is also that all of the values which we consider to be "Western values" come from the Enlightenment with roots in ancient Athens. He also points out that during the Middle Ages, when Christianity actually did rule Europe, we didn't have these Western values. He even shows that the Bible forbids most of these values, meaning Judaism and Christianity are opposed to Western philosophy in both theory and practice.

    The Majority here support the 'Love of Jesus' best exemplified by the Inquisition and can see nothing wrong with burning Witches (after a Fair Trial, of course).
    Athenian democracy? They're not sure really what that is. And Free Speech, ... that's allowed as long as it agrees with their point of view.

    (Your time here may be short)

    Oh PS: If you run into someone called 'Miss Phantasmal', be 'en grade'. She thinks having sex under the age of 25 should be a crime and calls her Husband her 'Butt Buddy'. Unfortunately for the rest of us ... she's a Moderator.
