The West has been so prosperous because of our basic adherence to God's Law, including sexual propriety and respect. That's going now, that's my point. All that is going since the sixties, so I guess we can look forward to becoming some version of a third world country, if we continue to exist at all that is.
You have really got to be joking.
What made European countries so successful was technology, mainly military technology like gunpowder and advanced warships.
Are you telling me that it was because of obedience to the will of God that these things were developed and used?
Are you saying that it was God's will to commit genocide and subjugate native people's lands?
China also had a lot of similar technology and was far ahead of the west culturally and technologically for a really long time, all without "obeying God's will" (you know that's what Islam means as a word right?). But they just happened to like to keep to themselves (mostly), so no colonialism.
Are you saying that European colonialism was due to God's will? True, all of these jokers were stealing gold, land, and other resources in the name of God and/or the Church, but to say that this type of mass murder is God's will is plain silly.
Actually, I take that back. It's the OT God's way of doing things, for sure.
