No single thing opened my eyes about the fantasy I believed. But you helped. I'm sure you help others find flaws in their faith in the same manner. Is that your goal? Your blind faith, combined with millions of others taught the same thing, does have the threat of bringing down western civilization to another dark ages. My history isn't great, but looking from here it wouldn't surprise me that Christianity "helped" the Roman civilization in the same way.

Well, she does have a point. The Western Roman Empire collapsed shortly after Christianity was adopted as the official religion. Christianity does preach passivity in the face of aggression ("turn the other cheek").
