Is Christian culture better than Islamic culture?

Is white, American culture better than black, American culture?

Is gay culture inherently more degenerate than heterosexual culture?

Some people have strong feelings about culture, but what is the measure of a good culture?
 
There is no "black culture" post segregation, because there is no culture inclusive of all blacks and exclusive of others. Likewise, there is no culture inclusive of heteros and exclusive of gays. Nor is there a culture inclusive of gays and exclusive of heteros.

Your substitution of "culture" for "people" is thinly veiled bigotry.

I would say integrity, moral courage, manners, and freedom. It's tough to answer your other questions though as they are very broad.
 
Christians are definitely ok by me, with the exception of the Catholic Church, Vatican, and it's army of child molesters.

I have no use for Muslims and their treatment of women, gays, and other religions.

Is white culture better that black culture........LOL.......I dunno. I have seen plenty of bigoted white trash folks who I have would loved to beat effing crap outta them. I have seen plenty of blacks who I would love to beat the crap out of. But I have also been privileged to serve, and work with............. many really great people of both skin colors.
 
A good culture is that whose people don't go around making comparisons like these or asking others to.

We can say demographics if you prefer. It also depends on what purpose one is after. If you want innovation and quality work, any "obedient" culture is a minus. For example Hindus, Seventh Day Adventists, people raised in Communist China are all obedient cultures.

Adventists interpret the Bible in ways that few others agree. They're a revolutionary movement against mainstream Christianity. Do you have an anthropological source for "obedient culture" and for your examples being in that category? Or did you invent that yourself.

The measure of a "good" culture is being born into it.
