Christianity and History

Posted by Sigismund on July 2, 2008, at 17:49:26

This is from "Straw Dogs".
I hope nobody is offended.
"If we truly leave Christianity behind, we must give up the idea that human history has a meaning. Neither in the ancient pagan world nor in any other culture has human history ever been thought to have an overarching significance. In Greece and Rome, it was a series of natural cycles of growth and decline. In India it was a collecive dream, endlessly repeated. The idea that history must make sense is just a Christian prejudice."
You find that interesting?
I don't quite understand it.
