To Atheist Hate Bloggers, Why Christians are "Surprisingly" Educated

It can be read in several atheist hate blogs that Christians are stupid, crazy, retards and many say, "It's just surprising that many of them can read and write for retards that believe in a fairy tale God."  So now it's time to present a defense to why Christians are "surprisingly" educated.

1.) Christianity has upheld morality like no other as based on evidence.  With God's standard of morality that shows man is not righteous but guilty and is in need of the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 3), the infallible Creator shows man their fall and that He alone can fix them.  The Christian moral system is ever unchanging, constant and it is not relative but rather based on God's immutable nature of being a holy, righteous God.  Some of the changes of Christianity are how the many evils like infanticide (which includes abortion), the gladiatorial fights, ancient slavery (thanks to Paul's letter to Philemon), the sexist society against women and many more died down.  For example, Abraham Lincoln fought hard to liberate the blacks.  This has also resulted in Christians creating more charity organizations that expect NOTHING in return.

2.) Christian education has managed to raise literacy up.  Thanks to the first factor of morality, these schools if they adhere to them as it should be adhered, improve the literacy of students.  For instance, my alma matter, Bethany Christian School in Cebu City has been one of the most outstanding schools to ever exist with its awards in the fields of mathematics, science and English.  Or perhaps an even better examine is how the Papuans in 1860 soon got the convert in the man named Nathaniel Pepper and when many got converted, the natives got into literacy.  Another reason would be because of the Bible- because the Word of God had to be read, people soon were encouraged to learn English so they can understand it.  The Bible enforced literacy.  When Christianity was strong, America did have an almost 100% literacy- it's only when it fell down because of secular factors that has invaded the public schools did America's literacy drop.

3.) Christians do not accept things blindly (1 Thessalonians 5:21, 1 Timothy 6:20) which has caused a great leap in science.  Compared to many who just accept things blindly, Christians are commanded not to and true faith reveals evidence not just following like a blind man led by a blind man.  God even tells them to examine the evidence which can lead to the scientific method.  Blind faith does not make good science neither does the being too skeptical.  Think about it- Christians by Scripture are encouraged to study nature which is said to declare the glory of God in Heaven.  Because of this, scientific studies were pushed forward whether it were the ancient times or not.  The Bible in itself is scientifically accurate and God does not merely make them rely by faith, He shows them the results of their faith!  Many scientists are Christians like Isaac Newton (the laws of physics), Francis Bacon (the scientific method), Blaise Pascal (Pascal's triangle), Robert Boyle (Boyle's law in chemistry) and Max Planck (quantum theory) were Christians too.  Unfortunately many of their discoveries have been perverted by mankind like how Satan perverted many of God's creations for his own use.
