Boy will my kids love me then! Honestly and truly love me! And I can bask in the warm glow of their love and devotion to me!

A little better. We'd probably be pagans, and a little less judgmental. The dark ages never would have happened.
The dark ages were caused by barbarian invasions, not Christianity, which you would know, if you were not a noxious mediocrity with just enough of learning to misquote. There was a whole world to the East that remained Christian (until the followers of Mahound swept much of it away) that did not experience the dark ages of the western part of the Old Roman Empire. Moreover, Christians are the ones who preserved the learning of antiquity.

You are like a pez dispenser of incurable stupidity/nonsense.
No, it's really Christianity and its bastard child Mormonism that are cynical philosophies. I'm an optimist. There is no god - thank god for that!
Your personal testimony is noted and just as quickly discarded.

My good dim bulb,
I am not interested in making excuses for the papacy or the 17th century Church of Rome. Nevertheless, I hasten to add that the persecution of Galileo happened well after the dark ages and Galileo was a devout Christian.
