The Chinese were advanced, yes, but they stagnated thanks to their own Confucian philosophies and values, which have always stressed conformity and blind obedience over innovation. The Mongols did not in fact destroy China’s history of innovation – they integrated into Chinese culture within a single generation, and maintained its traditions and philosophies throughout their relatively brief time in power.

The real advantage the West possessed, was a willingness to push boundaries and explore the Universe – which comes directly from first Jewish and then Christian ethics. It is not an accident that Western science traces its roots back through the Church, and its preservation of the works of “virtuous pagans” like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, among many others.

The social problems you outline come from a deliberate and very stupid misinterpretation of Galatians 3, and that in turn comes from a substantial weakening of Christian strength from the time of the Enlightenment, which tried its best to do away with the anti-blasphemy laws of the time (many of which are actually still on the books in more than a few Western nations right now). Prior to this, and the secularisation of the culture, Christian nations fought for an end to slavery, but did so while preserving their own ethnos. That is the bit the West is missing today – secular ideology has tried to replace the void filled by Christian morality and ethics, but you cannot fill nothing with nothing.

The only way to stop the very problems you outline, is to return to a society rooted in faith, with moral guiding principles. And the only set of moral guiding principles that actually works consistently, is the Christian one, rooted in the Ten Commandments and capped off by Christ’s sacrifice.

That “do unto others BETTER than they do to you”…I think that is part of why the west is declining (aka from the 1960s onward) to be honest with you. We spent trillions on savages (and losers, remember it was the defeated Africans that were sold to the west) to “improve” them, that is the very spirit of your quote and look what is has wrought. Pagan Rome in our shoes would have simply spent a few million dollars and constructed a new “Appian” way stretching from D.C to New Orleans.

This is a mistaken understanding. The Christian position is very clear: Jesus loved us unconditionally, and died for us. We are to emulate Him. But, because we are flawed, Fallen, and broken, we cannot do it – we keep sinning and making mistakes. That is where forgiveness comes in, which we receive if we ask for it sincerely, and truly repent of our sins. We are then to “pay it forward” by forgiving others when they sin against us.

This is the precise opposite of “do unto others as they do to you”. It is, “do unto others BETTER than they do to you”.

Furthermore, you make a mistake in thinking those who forgive – which is what selfless love involves – are moral mutants. Keep in mind, the only reason we have advanced industrial civilisation today, is precisely because of Christian nations. Christianity raises the moral and intellectual level of societies it touches. Everything else either keeps them the same, or makes them regress.

This is how the majority of mankind has lived since well before recorded history, these “selfless love” types…they are mutants (moral…and quite possibly, genetic). If the Abrahamic god is true we are fucked, worse we were fucked from the very beginning.
