Christianity caused a lot of damage, yes. However, it was not totally destructive: remember that most
of the theology of christianity, though those other religions that call themselves 'christian' do
not understand that theology, was invented by greeks. The greek mentality shines through in many places. Also, one of the very good things it did
for us was provide a unifying force for a very long time, which we have notoriously lacked before and
since. Greeks were seldom very unified. We got it right the first time, in the thousand years of the unity of the Minoan
civilization at the very dawn of the greek story, but since then, greeks have only been
united under the rule of individual men by the force of their wills, and as soon as those men died, or their energy faltered for a moment, their
empires collapsed. Only Byzantium survived, using christianity as a force to bind us together. Now, after a thousand years, more or less, we had more problems than before and it no longer was much of a unifying factor. Christianity again , however, helped unify us
against the turks for several centuries. Today, the modern machine that attacks us, an economic/political/industrial force that presses on all people, in all places, to force them into submission, is eating away at
the greek civilization too. We should drop arguments about christianity until we have dealt with this much more lethal foe.
