VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Dinah|DATE|1359297404|CONTENT|Certainly Christianity could not have survived as a Quaker-rish sect - religious denominations like the Quakers can only survive in tolerant societies - mainly democratic secular ones.  Theocratic regimes usually make short work of minority religions which is what is happening to Christianity in many Islamic countries today.  It is interesting to speculate though on what kind of world religions we would have today if Christianity had not evolved into one, and whether the world would have been a better or a worse place without it.  We will never know the answer, but it makes a fascinating topic for debate. |IP-ADDRESS|79.66.219.214|MODERATIONFLAG|
