Get real. Your quote talks about temple libraries not the Alexandrian library. You still have no support for your anti-Christian bigotry.

His statement confirms that the library never existed since the fifth century.

But even if one stipulates that only temple libraries were destroyed, you have just conceded the point under discussion -- that Christians destroyed pagan manuscripts.

You still have no support for your anti-Christian bigotry.

Really, Dataman, such hysteria is beneath you. If I am not mistaken, you are not Catholic, correct? So it is not as if I am making accusations against your own denomination, or you personally. I made the claim that pagan and "heretical" works were destroyed by Christians. That this is true is not even debated by historians. Christians have, at times, done bad things. To speak of them is hardly "anti-Christian bigotry".
