The dude that decided we should give up the relative eases of Hunter/gather/limited agriculture to full blown agricultural society. All the modern ills of society came from that: hierarchy, class stratification, disease, starvation, political tyranny, corruption, demand for land, wars, organized religion, the state. You name it...all from that.

Abraham/Mohammed/Jesus….one of those three. The God of the Old Testament is horrible literary figure similar to Iago. Nothing good about anything these three spread.


Ahh yes Jesus, the man who sat with prostitutes and cripples and whose followers have such buildings called hospitals and charities named after them, just awful. But of course, that's much worse than the mass murderers of the 20th century. Gotta love the sensational atheists...

I think he means Jesus as in Hay-soos. The man who makes my burritos and cuts my lawn in his spare time.

I would argue that atheistic states passed them in the 20th century.

Diminishing religion to social work is a poor analog and does nothing to prove any point you think you may have. Hundreds of millions of people have died or have been disenfranchised by theological hypocrites wearing robes using the God of the Bible as their justification.

If we're talking about who caused the most suffering per capita, it's Genghis Khan and it's not close. Nobody ever inflicted more suffering on a greater percentage of the population during their lifetime.

If we're talking about who caused the greatest amount of suffering in terms of raw numbers, it's Karl Marx. His ideology has killed more humans than any other in history.
This is the answer.

Decline began way back with Scotus and Ockham. Followed by Descartes and subsequent modern philosophers.

It's actually quite fascinating how much those three, while trying to do good, completely ruined metaphysics and how we view the world and each other.

Does WW1 happen if Gavrilo Princip isn't accidentally at the right place at the right time? And if you don't have WW1, does an obscure minority of Bolshevik Revolutionaries ever take control of Russia? There almost certainly isn't the rise of fascism in Italy or Germany or a WW2. And there isn't a Cold War and the subjugation of Eastern Europe for 50 years. That one event caused a lot of suffering and maybe the death of 200m people, not to mention how much wealth that was destroyed.

Gotta go back farther than that, to wherever Obama (or Soros or anyone else) got their ideas.

This is why Marx is a top 3-4 answer to this question.

Actually, the pre-incarnate Jesus, the 2nd person of the Trinity, is throughout the Old Testament.

You can expand that line of thought to Asia. If no WWI, and thus no WWII, do we ever have war with Japan and nukes? Do we ever wind up with a triumphant Mao in China? No Korean war, no Vietnam?

High volume?

LOL, you're delusional


The vast majority of answers are white people of history. Why you and Neehau are allowed to troll incessantly is beyond me.
