Western civilisation, built on Christians tenets of equality in the image of God, is universalist. Everyone can participate in it and contribute to it. Western civilisation is uniquely non-racist, non-sexist. It's uniquely about truth, character and constant self-examination. In a word, it's the most humain civilisation.
Look at who attacks it and why to see the truth of the above characterisation.
Quite so. Built on Greek tenants, Romans, Persians, Jews. A bit of the Norse, the Normans, Saxons, you name it. The Arabs and Chows have contributed, Johnny Turk, the Curries. The Silk Road, the Spice Isle, the bridges in between. The songs and stories on the way. Western civilisation is universal. One in, all in. Exactly. They are all particularists, nationalists, tribal. Nevertheless they all point to a universalism which then unfolds in Christian civilisation. Christianity is a universal civilisation even if you are not a Christian yourself. It is a universally defining phenomenon like no other precisely because it is not particularist, nationalist, tribal, male or female, white or black, or any other segmentation. And that's just the empirical truth of it, even before you confess any faith. Oh, I see. You meant Jesus all along, eh? Scrap all that, dear boy. You meant Western sectarianism. The Crusades, the Holy Wars, the Inquisition. We thought you had a moment there. Silly old us, no? You are noy SAYING anything coherent. Again. This is not a a Rorschach test of free association, you are not at your weekly appointment at the psych clinic. Breathe, focus, gather your thoughts, if any. Formulate any coherent idea that results (if any). THEN utter. Try. Praise the Lord. Coherent enough, dear boy?
