The recounting of historical facts is not a debate to be won. This is not high school debate club. We are not attempting to sway some unseen audience into believing which one of us holds the stronger stance. There is fact, provided by me and others, and conjecture and hand waiving, provided by you. You say I need to disprove your point, but your point appears diffuse and constantly changing, like some 5 year old who can't quite grasp the concept of game rule permanence and so makes them up to their own benefit as they go along.
Now regardless of whatever point you think you may have made, the statements I have made are accurate, supported, and in no way contradicted by any source shown in this thread. Specifically:
For your reference, here again is the Wikipedia page, with primary sources on it, which supports the above claim: Christianization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These groups were not converted en mass because they "saw the light" and just decided to give up their own previous religions. They were conquered and forced into it, including but not limited to black slaves brought here from Africa. You have provided ZERO evidence to the contrary.
Now you can ramble on about how it was only peaceful or about some made up debate rules or any other unsupported garbage you'd like, but the historical facts still remain.

SmarterThanHicks said:The historical fact still remains that Christianity has been propagated in many instanced by force, coercive incentivisation, acts of terrorism, threats, and other violent methods. This is not a judgment on Christianity. This is a historically accurate representation of events, which I have referenced previously.
