>Christianity gave us a world without heroism and virtue?
Without archaic notions of heroism and virtue, as Nietzsche railed against in the concept of “slave morality” overtaking this cultural order.
>Christianity stopped us from destroying the weak and the other?
It's weird then how the western Christian world has retained all of those negative traits for almost two millennia.
Relatively speaking, yes. Historically, all of Europe was murderously at each others throats, or more recently, the idea of colonialism being morally repugnant would’ve been laughable (as was true in its archaic, imperial analogues). Of course, we have not entirely shed ourselves of these notions, but their power is much diminished to centuries past.
