Alright, that was good. And yet that martyrdom seems to differ in its motivation-or certainly in its direct outcome, which in the case of Sikhism was a warrior cult of Sikhs. What often impressed surrounding societies, even if they disliked Christianity, was their love for each other and even for their enemies, which resulted in placing justice and altruism on the world map. Hospitals, that served the wider population, began to be built already in those early centuries, where able, where persecutions of Christians was sufficiently subdued The Christian faith produced an enormous amount of thought and writings all through the centuries, which was based on the inspiration received of a God of order and goodness. In fact, Christianity is a running commentary on existence and the meaning of human life, again, with goodness and order as the basis while evil and disorder are also options for man, a freedom which expresses itself in a myriad of ways whenever we place selfishness above justice and love.
That's why Christian impresses me, because of the basic ideal it gives to u\the world-a rather foreign idea which has produced far more goodness that otherwise in terms of elevating the value of human life, in building hospitals and orphanages, preserving and then developing education: the lower and upper, university, systems, promoting advances in the arts and sciences and the pursuit of excellence in general, feeding the hungry and clothing the naked: the list goes on and its gigantic in its impact.
