"sure the church would eventualy adapt and reinterpret, but this usualy came after terrible consequences for others.....it takes a plague for the church to allow serious study of the human body, tens of thousands of mentalily ill women are killed as withches, etc."
If this is true it is ridiculous for anyone to defend "Christianity". Maybe the "Offshoot of Christianity" is reasonable. But don't imply that this new modern religion is basically the same as the one that existed for 1700 years or so.

I suggest you clearly explain what "this" is and supply balanced evidence on both sides before drawing conclusions. As it is you sound like somebody responding to a posted rumor with, "if this is true then ...".
