""The fact is, Christianity has had an influence on societal values ....o
so what. It don't alter the argument that it may not be acceptable to a lot of people."

"So what" has the ring of a very angry and in compassionate person, versus a compassionate Christian one? Which one are you Pete 7 *? If the former, it may be time to take a step back and re-evaluate. ( I recall "so what" being used to justify some very bad crimes against people and groups in history. :(

Nor does it alter the argument that it denied acceptance, rights and a decent life to a significant segment of society and fueled alot of harmful results.

I am of the opinion that most "good Christian people" would not want that result, nor would see it as justified in a reasonable interpretation of tge "holy words in their good book".
