Had it not been for Christianity the crusades known as the reconquista would've never happened.

Isn't roman at all, Rome was more than happy to stay stagnant and remain, why wouldn't they? Their biggest opposition was just that... barbarians?

>inb4 rome would've advanced eventually!
"Eventually" never comes, we saw this shit with larpagan trashheap (India) and Chinkistan (China), both remained stagnant until the Christian Europeans came along.
>but they're shitskins
Exactly, larpaganism is shitskinism, it's exactly why technology didn't change for jack shit from 9,000 years worth of Egyptian hegemony, a few more years of Macedonian one, and a thousand of Roman hegemony.

The """dark""" ages were ironically the biggest advancement in technology we had seen since, well... ever?
