Sure Jesus was all about maximizing profit on backs of others. Enslaving people and taking what they owned though bloodshed and force. LOL Hear him exclaim regularly how "GREED IS GOOD" and how we should worship Mammon above all others.
I mean, wasn't it Jesus who coined the phrase "Money never sleeps"?
Sorry Lefties: If Wasn’t For Judeo/Christianity Values The West Would Have Never Been Great Ben is 100% right, he’s is truly a knowledgeable scholar.
What values would that be?
If he's referring to the 10 Commandments, knowledgeable scholars know those were ripped from Egypt and written long before X-Moses existed.
Did Ben explains Writs de Haeretico Comburendo?
Do you know what that is?
Probably not.
It's Latin genitive case construction, literally "of burning a heretic."
A Writ de Haeretico Comburendo is an order issued to execute a heretic by burning them to death.
Such writs were issued when an ecclesiastical court found a heretic guilty of heresy and the heretic refused to recant, or when a person had been convicted of heresy by an ecclesiastical court and recanted, but later committed heresy again.
There is nothing comparable to a Writ de Haeretico Comburendo in Islam or any other religion. Only christians did that.
Over a Million people were executed that way, which is quite barbaric and horrific.
That doesn't include the 8+Million women who were burned to death as witches by christians, because you didn't need a writ for that.
The Great Irony is that if you were suddenly time-warped back to 1200 CE, you'd be executed as a heretic.
Whatever you say must conform 100% to whatever Poop is running the show at the Vatican says, and if not, then you're a heretic.

Good luck with that.
Those are some very creative numbers for the killed heretics and witches though.

Actually, he's not a scholar. He's a professional political commentator. He does have a JD. But his qualifications as an historian are equal to mine and yours - zero.
Judeo Christian values contributed to the decline and fall of western civilization during the late antiquity. It was the reddiscovery of greco/Roman learning and thought process that gave rebirth to westerner civilization. Judeo Christian thought is vastly inferior to greco/Roman values.
Protestant revolution = everybody has a right to make God/religion in his own image to suit his own interests. It's been down the hill of absurd ever since. Christianity is everything you want it to be. There is a sect for every whim, aspiration or proclivity and if you cannot find anything suitable you can start your own Church. It is just that in the age of social breakdown more and more people start their own one man/woman churches in their heads.
Or we’d be hundreds of years more technologically advanced had we shaken it off sooner...
