@LukeScientiae Malmo 2009 - a chapel serving the city's 700-strong Jewish community was set ablaze. Jewish cemeteries were repeatedly desecrated, worshippers were abused on their way home, and "Hitler" was mockingly chanted in the streets.
Atheism cannot give freedom.
Although terrible things have been done in the name of religion, the fact remains that Christianity and the Hebrew Bible form the foundation stone of Western civilisation and its great cause of human equality and freedom
@LukeScientiae A taste of your future - Hate crimes, mainly directed against Jews, doubled last year with Malmo's police recording 79 incidents and admitting that far more probably went unreported. As of yet, no direct attacks on people have been recorded but many Jews believe it is only a matter of time in the current climate.
The city's synagogue has guards and rocket-proof glass in the windows, while the Jewish kindergarten can only be reached through thick steel security doors.
@Thechristiancullen Travel even more? I don't think I'd have the time. I've lived all over the world. Your anecdotal experience from a London hospital is neither a genuine statistical sample, nor does it have anything to do with Scandinavia. And it's completely irrelevant to the fact that the freer of religion societies get, the happier and healthier they get. You can go and make more facts up, and offer more Bible babble if you like, but I don't have the time. Sorry.
I see where this is going! lol

@LukeScientiae I quote facts about your own civilisation yet you call me a faith-head with no respect for rational discourse.
In many parts of the world it requires critical thinking and rational discourse to be the christian. Shalom

@LukeScientiae Your pampered european western civilisation was built on the Bible babble, christian principles and the Protestant Work Ethic.
Why are you blind to what is happening within your own country?

@LukeScientiae Have you driven around Malmo lately?
Currently the future looks so bleak that by one estimate, around 30 Jewish families have already left - The Telegraph 4th Jan 2012
