To benefit from Christian civilization and then depreciate it in favor of civilizations that do not have the same values is ignoring the fact that Gentile or Caucasian civilization was a hedonistic mess until by the grace of God we got the word of Jesus Christ. You were blessed to be born where you are. As I was.
The very British flag you fly in your icon has the cross of Saint George and the Cross of Saint Andrew and not by accident. The reason we have Christianity in the United States is due to King James (which is a derivative of Jacob aka Israel).
The King James Bible is the English and Internation reason we have English spoken all over the planet. Our culture would be nothing without the fear and respect of God.
You take it for granted as I once did.
I don't any more. I'm only grateful.
The King James Bible is a great resource and the Reformation created the need for an English language Bible.
When you get real high speed you'll grab a concordance and start investigating the Greek and Hebrew into English.
Nothing you can do will save you. Jesus is the high priest and the sacrificial Lamb. He has done the work. He also is ready to show you the way. Get on your knees and pray. I do so at least twice a day.
Once you realize that you've been psy-opped by the devil you will appreciate what I'm sharing.
Don't be a sucker. Investigate the very language you speak. It had God and Jesus Christ written all through it.

Most of us don't know the Bible. Certainly I didn't 2 years ago. I'm 56 and I thought I knew everything. I used to listen to Joy Division, New Order, Crass, PIL (I was friends with one of them before he passed away). I spent the majority of my adult life claiming to be an Eastern Philosophy pundit.
I claimed to be an anarchist...
Then I was thoroughly miserable.
I read some crazy book and I suddenly realized that my knowledge of Jesus was absolutely inadequate. I dove as deep as I had with Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Quran and Pali texts. I can read Sanskrit and Pali.
I hit a dead end and realized that my impression of Christianity was through people who were ignorant, misread, mislead, corrupt and unsaved.
I got saved and problems that I was having started to disappear. Also my attitude towards things changed. I developed a personal relationship with God and I trusted his work.
The King James Bible is an inspired, perfected and sacred work that represents the Reformation of the Christian Church. The Scripture is a touchstone.
We don't know it and we criticize it based on the incomplete arguments of Christians and non-Christians. It is a testimony of the faithful. It is a document of revival.
The texts come from Antioch and Jerusalem. They are "textus receptus" from scholars, 47 of them, who spoke Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic. It is not a document depending on Rome or Alexandria.
It is the narrow pathway to a good life here and an eternal life hereafter.
I pray that your heart may be softened and that the LORD will inspire you to explore the King James Bible again.
