   Have the consequences of Protestantism been disastrous for the human race?

     @hidden Yes and no. Here's a different question: which had a greater long term impact on the outline of modern civilization, Protestantism or Morse's telegraph?

     @hidden I don't think of the telegraph as a single invention, I think of it as the first realization of a conceptual framework that allowed for globalized society as we know it to exist. In this sense, I think it and Protestantism are actually quite comparable.

     @allison In my view paradigms are greater than single inventions and those single inventions would be created later anyway if the paradigm was ripe so imo Protestantism

     Aren't you determined to go to mars though? Remember the cringe going to mars times? Luckily it has faded. It was so embarrassing 🙈

     @hidden I think it may have played a factor in the disaster. But the adoption of science/tech as a religion as opposed to a tool for achieving determined objectives is also what has lead us to the current times.

     @unliver @hidden many of the earliest exponents of the enlightenment came from the extremely catholic france, lest we forget

     @hidden as in, idk, there's obviously an intimate relationship between protestantism and the enlightenment but i'm beginning to think the enlightenment isn't necessarily a product of protestantism

     @hidden yes but also i've been gradually coming around to the understanding that protestantism is probably also just another reaction to modernity and to the feudal system with which catholicism had become hopelessly entangled beginning to reach its natural limits
