These concepts do happen to be European; however , they belonged and were used by a non-European people for many hundred years. What this means is simple - foreign ideas can strongly influence people. Still, Christianity is not Western it is Middle-Eastern and more specifically Jewish. It is not a good idea and it serves no higher purpose for it fails to expand the knowledge the way the works of early Europeans did. The principals of the modern systems of law, science and philosophy are all based on these roots which were discovered during the Rennaisance and effectively were the complete opposite of Abrahamic religion.

Psychologicalshock, I appreciate your knowledge of history, (and wonder a little what you are being taught in college) but you fail to understand that the reason Western Man accepted Christianity is because it was instinctive. It contained an honesty and purity that appealed to the Western soul. If the White Man had been a low life breed of people like the Jews Christianity would have been totally rejected.
