Yes, Europe existed before Christianity, but not as the Europe we know. Pagan Rome and Greece had philosophy, law, and architecture, true. But they also had slavery, infanticide, pederasty, brutal spectacles, and no concept of inherent human dignity. Christianity didn’t “hijack” civilization, it transformed it.
The fall of Rome wasn’t caused by Christianity, but by internal decay and invasions. It was Christian monks who preserved classical knowledge in monasteries, copying texts, founding schools, and stabilizing communities. Far from causing the "Dark Ages," Christianity was the light within them. The idea of universal education, hospitals, and universities all emerged from the Church.
The Renaissance wasn’t a rejection of Christianity but a revival within a Christian worldview. Thinkers like Dante, Erasmus, and Michelangelo were deeply Christian. The so-called Enlightenment often built on Christian moral foundations, even when questioning Church authority. The scientific method was birthed by Christian men who believed in a rational, ordered creation by a divine Lawgiver.
Yes, abuses happened within institutional religion. But that’s not Christianity, that’s corrupt men using it. Christianity isn’t blind faith; it calls for truth, reason, and justice. The dignity of the individual, the rule of law, the idea of progress, all rest on Christian soil.
When Europe turns from Christ, it builds homosexual agendas, anti-White humanism, chaos, communism, atheism, consumerism, a world without roots, without stability, worshipping mammon, ruled by antichrist Judaism. When it follows Him, it builds cathedrals, hospitals, and law protecting the weak. Europe without Christ isn’t enlightened, it’s lost.
