On: Judas goat

I'm a confirmed atheist, so I'm not about to ask Jesus for anything, nor any of the thousands of other prophets/gods that different people believe in.

Ok? I'm in a similar boat, that doesn't mean I can't have some level of understanding about Christian theology.

Sorry, I thought you were trying to get me to convert to some version of Christianity with your "Jesus forgives all if you ask" statement.

I'm actually of the opinion that Christianity held back humanity's development for at least a thousand years.

The abolition of slavery was almost entirely a Christian effort. So yes civilization my right be "more advanced" without Christianity, but it wouldn't be a civilization I'd want to be in.
