Meanwhile, western civ values women's rights, equality, charity, alms giving... Etc etc.

In contrast, charities are unpopular in China, equality is a joke in the Islamic world, and 30 million women were gang raped by Hindus in India today (hyperbole). The Christian and post-Christian (still maintains a Christian ethos) world is by far the best place to live in.

I'm not a Christian, I do believe in God but am not certain he exists. But I am certain that christian societies are the best places to live. I would live in Ireland, sweden, the US, Canada, chile... On down the list. I'd never live anywhere in east Asia, the Middle East, africa, Etc

If you hate western civ so much I will hand you my iranian passport. When they drench your girlfriends face with acid because she didn't wear a burqa, get back to me about your bull shit. Enough with the white guilt guys, seriously. If you honestly think christianity hasn't been an OVERWHELMING net positive for the western world you lack perspective as to how fucked up 99% of the non Christian / post Christian world is. I mean seriously, outside of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, what places that aren't either currently Christian or weren't historically Christian would you live in?

I can't name one

While I certainly agree with most of that, you seriously need to stop attributing the current state of western civ to anything remotely Christian. Western civ is the way it is because it's ditched most Christian things.
