2000 years of the greatest men in the world the greatest geniuses who lived believed in Christ yet you figured it all out. You're smarter than Tolstoy, Bach, Kant, Hegel, Aquinas, Michelangelo, Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, and a thousand of the greatest men in the world because you watched a 20 minute Christopher Hitchens video and skimmed through Wikipedia

Yes

100000 years of the greatest men in the world believed in the gods of nature and the ancestor cult, yet you figured it out. You’re smarter than your distant ancestors because a man in long robe told you what to believe.

I'm a better intellectual than all of the men you listed except for Bach. He's definitely above me.
I do feel I have a great mind and could become a famous intellectual who people look up to.

Those guys were monkeys throwing shit and you're comparing them to Bach and Tolstoy?

No I’m not, I’m just more informed and have been less brainwashed by culture. I know more about physics and chemistry than the ancient Greeks, but that doesn’t mean I’m more intelligent than Pythagoras.

Only Bach and *maybe* Michelangelo were great on your list. I don't personally like Michelangelo's style, but I can respect it.
Tolstoy is nothing compared to me. It's not a matter of belief either. It is absolute fact.
I am better than everyone on that list except for Bach.

Yet I could kick your ass and make you get on your knees and kiss my feet so who is better?

What do you know that Tolstoy or even Aquinas didn't that ends the debate?

Why would you do that to the greatest intellectual of the 21st century? Well, it's your loss.

With only the clothes on your back and the knowledge in your head, how much could you advance the scientific knowledge of the Ancient Greeks if you were sent back in time? Assume you can speak the language.

5000 years of the greatest men in the world the greatest geniuses who lived believed in Hammurabi yet you figured it all out. You're smarter than Moses, Hilel, Jesus, Muhammed and a thousand of the greatest men in the world because you watched a 20 minute Ed Feser video and skimmed through Wikipedia

Where in the moral teachings of Jesus is there any endorsement of Hammurabi? Christian Ethics are diametrically opposed to the law of retaliation. Eye for an eye vs turn the other cheek.

Great men didn't exist back then.
