They built the foundation of what is considered "Western civilization"

Islamic Golden age ended with the Crusades+Mongols. Turks kept Islam in the stone age for the next 500 years. Thats why.

israel is not middle eastern or muslim in any technological or economic sense, so that's a big strawman

>The Nestorian Stele is a Tang Chinese stele erected in 781 AD that documents 150 years of history of early Christianity in China.[1] It includes texts both in Chinese and in Syriac.

Well, Chinese Heaven worship isn't exactly "monotheistic": Shangdi (Heaven) is considered to be the supreme creator deity in some traditions, but his worship wasn't particularly widespread, because he was considered too remote and alien from humans to even hear their prayers. Shangdi essentially delegated all his power to the various gods of the "Celestial Bureaucracy", and it was these deities who attended to the human world and mortal affairs, as well as the daily running of the cosmos. Only the Emperor worshipped Shangdi directly, and it was usually only through one annual sacrifice that he did.

Second is that Shangdi (Heaven) essentially came to mean the entire collective of the Celestial Bureaucracy in later eras, similarly how Elohim in Hebrew used to refer to the entire heavenly assembly and not to one deity in particular.

So I wouldn't call it strictly monotheistic.

Nope.

People have a hard time grasping that the Founding Fathers weren't representative of the average colonial American

Which is a good thing, they just wanted another King and monarchy. The FF were philosophers and developed an amazing system of government upon review of prior Republican systems.

Most arguments for faith aren't "Yee haw I love god."

>>2283626
You might enjoy C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity".

You would also profit from knowing what faith actually is.

Faith is the human ability to believe what you have not personally seen. Everyone has faith, and everyone uses faith. It's not the possession of or use of faith that is critical in religion; it's the object of that faith.

Augustine's Confessions
Kierkegaard's works like Fear and Trembling

Shooting doesn't necessarily mean advancing. It could just be a jumpy grunt who thought he saw something.

Now, if you started hearing artillery and men screaming then you would see some action.

Because they knew natives were a mix of other races, including white.

1) How is that an explanation, even if true?
2) American blacks average 25% European ancestry.

>>2283603
They weren't 25% European ancestry at the time. Can you even history m8?
