@thefinn >This motivated the Greeks and Constantinople to adopt Christianity as its' religion, giving us Eastern Orthodoxy.

I feel like Constantinople was founded as a Christian city??? too lazy to look it up...

Eastern Orthodoxy seems to de-emphasize rationality as say compared to the Western Church and denies being neoplatonic...

Minor quibbles...I feel like I still get your point there

>This basically all means that intellect and intellectual pursuits are divine.

All of them??? I wouldn't forget the fall of man being tied to trying to acquire knowledge forbidden to them...
