What the hell are you talking about? They? Who are 'they'? Barbaros was in use in multiple Greek sources long before the Roman Empire existed. Though at first is was more or less a neutral descriptive term signifying little more than non-Greek, it became a pejorative after the Greek/Persian wars.
In any case, I guess I have my answer to my question.
The barbarians destroyed the empire after the empire had become somewhat Christian.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
