> Countries founded on Judeo-Christian principles turn out to be the best ones to live in with the most freedoms while the atheist, Buddhist, and Hindu countries still jail or kill those disagreeing with them. Scientific discoveries actually confirmed the Bible more, too.
This is exactly the kind of rhetoric that's unacceptable on HN. It breaks these guidelines:
Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
Eschew flamebait.
Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.
It's a long-established norm on HN that it's not acceptable to wage battle or engage in debate on the grounds of nationality or religion:
It's just HN's form of the age-old dinner-party principle. When we're trying to have an interesting discussion and someone makes an argument on the basis of the superiority of a nation or religion (or race or any other identity), it causes offence in people who don't belong to the identities that are asserted to be superior, which can lead to heated arguments, or at least discomfort, and makes everyone want to quickly leave the dinner and go home.
I was raised in a Christian family, and I have respect for Christian teachings and those who have faith. We need you to show the same respect for this community that you would expect people to extend towards your faith, by respecting the guidelines and the community's norms.
On HN we're just trying to have a healthy discussion, and the introduction of arguments based in the superiority of any religion's teachings are well known to take discussions in an unhealthy direction, so we need you to stop doing it please. The same principle applies to any religious belief, ideology or other worldview, including atheism. This is not a place for evangelism or activism, it's a place for curious conversation.
