The point is Christianity was not a result of the desire for power and wealth. For centuries they were slaughtered and persecuted and gained no wealth. I'm just trying to give you some perspective.
and? what about the last 1800 years.

Perspective would be to look at the bigger picture. While the religion was started on principles of selflessness and humility, the vast majority of its time on earth has been spent practicing the exact opposite of that.
That's perspective.
But can you say that you've thoroughly looked into the history of Christianity from all sides? Not just from the point of view from those that hate Christianity no matter what? For example , despite all the miss information and slander the Catholic Church gets, it is one of, if not the largest charitable organization in the world, and has been for who knows how long. They've built who knows how many hospitals and schools throughout the centuries to help those impoverished and in need. Now if Christianity is so cruel why on earth would they even bother doing these things?
If you want REAL perspective you have to look at things from ALL sides and angles not just those that agree with your preconceived notions.
Christian civilizations became the most advanced civilizations on the planet.
On the back of scientific progress. There's a reason Islam is still stuck in their equivalent Dark Ages, do you think it's to do with them not being Islamic enough?
You can't pray for a cannon, nor can you pray your way to winning a war. You can't pray and purge yourself of cancer, nor can you pray for the health of someone else.
There's reality and then there are illusions. Be careful which you choose to embrace

Let's not forget that for 2000 years Christianity has been fighting against science and any advancement that comes from it. Without the wannabelievers persecuting men of education and vision through the middle ages and the hundreds of years of setbacks that have resulted from Christianity fighting such heretical ideas as the earth revolving around the sun, we would already have a cure for cancer and a permanent colony on Mars.
I'm just glad someone prayed for toilet paper....

From what I understand Christians in the first couple centuries were getting slaughtered on the regular by the Romans and practically no one was getting rich off of it.
A few ignorant haters will cite a couple examples of where the church was wrong, but ignore the thousands upon thousands of schools and hospitals built by Christian organizations. Who has done more to spread education and medicine around the world than Christians. Not to mention all the great scientists in the past who were religious.

No, it's the ignorant wannabelievers who will try to turn the millions upon millions of people killed by the church and the hundreds of years of scientific atrophy and oppression not to mention 2000 years of systemic pedophilia into "a couple of examples of where the church was wrong".
