[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 77660355, member: 342064"] I don't know, what is western literature. I mean the Old Testament is Hebrew afterall and thats a foundational text. But its true. Are you saying the Christian worldview did not influence our view of the world. My point did not just apply to Christians either. I also pointed out that the Christian worldview influenced ethics including non Christian ethicsal ideas. Your complaining about the details of publication is a red herring, The point is the bible was the first widely read book within the west and it is foundational to the western thinking and worldview. Thats was the point but all you have managed to do is create fallacies attacking the credibility of sources and minor detail that has nothing to do with the point made. The writings from the old testament were around well before AD. But I don't want another sidetrack. It doesn't matter how early the bible is, who wrote it, the point is its a foundational book for the west and it influenced our worldview. Yeah thats OK, its a pretty version but simplistic. For the west I think the bible influenced its meaning. It related to parables like the Good Samaritan and was the second greatest commandment that covered all the moral laws. It wasn't just about not hurting others as you would not want to be hurt . It was loving others as you love yourself which covered much more. It relates to the central Christian idea of self sacrifice for others. No but its an example of how western thought was influenced by Christianity. It also shows that much of Christian thought and values were universal. That Gods order aligned with the universal truths we all know. I wasn;t making the point that it backs Christian world view. I was linking back in my previous point that these truths that the Christian worldview aligns with are also universal truths because humans have this innate knowledge regardless of culture. [/QUOTE]
