<<OK, you're right; I wasn't totally clear. I didn't mean to imply
that Christianity can't help people. I know that it can and does.
What I meant is that, overall, the Christian moral system has not
proven any more successful than, for example, the humanist moral
system.
Sorry for the confusion.>>
No problem. Thanks for the clarification.
As for the comparison of the two systems, you write:
<<OK, fine. Christianity has condemned all of the bad things that
have been done in the name of Christianity, and "materialists",
like myself, have condemned all of the bad things that have been
done in the name of "materialism". So my system has corrected its
wrongs in the same way that your system has corrected its wrongs.>>
Can you provide some historical examples of "materialism" correcting bad
things done in the name of materialism? I can't think of any, but maybe I'm
missing something. Who are some noted materialist, on the order of Wilberforce
or Martin Luther King, who have led mass movements that have reformed evil
behavior?
I really don't think there is any comparison.
