[Greatest I am]

Ah, so that's what its all about: resentment of the persecution of the gnostics as heretics, in the early church.

Mind you, if GIA is representative, then it seems scholarly standards have slipped badly since those days in c.2-4th.

Should we not resent Christianity murdering many and giving us the Dark Ages and Inquisition?

Do you praise them for that?

As long as we simultaneously praise them for the contributions of Copernicus, Mendel, Roger Bacon, and William of Ockham - sure.

Religion was likely a hindrance to them and not an asset.
