One of the most insanely ahistorical and stupid, not to mention demoralizing, tweets I’ve ever read. Long before the Church, European civilizations reached levels of civilization far higher than contemporary, largely Christian Africa.https://twitter.com/EMichaelJones1/status/1130499686014607360 …
Sorry, I'm only half Irish. The other half is German. Since when is chasing pigs through the forest high civilization? Have you seen Mel Gibson's Apocalypto?

Lol, and classical art and architecture to boot. Talk about ignoring enormous swathes if history to fit your flawed belief system.

The civilizational heritage of the Germanic peoples is equivalent to the chasing of pigs through forests? Are you being serious, here?

When did your Irish and German ancestors stop chasing pigs through the forest according to you? You have a rough date?

My (christian) German ancestors were still chasing greased pigs at the county fair as of fall of 2018.

I’m surprised a man like you hasn’t heard of the Pagan Roman Empire, Mr. Jones.

No reason why both can’t be true. Europe would still be better off today than Subsaharan Africa even without the Catholic Church, but large parts of Europe may have never advanced and unified to the degree it did without Catholicism.

Are we just going to ignore antiquity? The Greek and Roman civilizations? In any case, I'd rather be chasing pigs around a forest than whatever we're doing now.

Yeah the civilization that was later on corrupted, then overthrown by various Germanic PAGAN tribes.

The Romans and Greeks were pagans as well, what's you point?

Come on man you know that argument is bullshit, our Roman statecraft and Greek philosophy came from pagan Europe

imagine lying about how advanced your ancestors were to minimize them. Also bronze Ireland was extremely wealthy and advanced especially compared to the modern stone age of africa.

If you tell me the Sagas aren't high civilization or are Christian because monks wrote them down after they burned most of the originals so help me god I won't be able to take you seriously and I'm half way through Libido Dominandi.

I would love to go boar hunting in the black forest, with net and spear. If i could banquet with the locals and the local pastor comes to give the blessing.
