influence in human societal development? We undoubtedly have advanced technologically but that was always a given to happen. In my view, it's open to question whether we have developed in any area as quickly and efficiently as would have been possible if Western nations hadn't been so influenced by feudal/Roman Christian dominance. Even today, most Western Govts pay mere lip service to true democracy.

There were several ancient civilisations that I would say were more progressive than our current model, many developed early versions of complex technology too. Who knows what they'd have achieved by now?

Sadly, i must debug and reformat my PC, won't be around much over the next couple of days. Looking forward to reading any replies tho. =)
