Very early on? More like 300 years after Jesus is supposed to have died.

Early on for widespread adoption. There were missionaries even to Britain in the first century but it took time and official backing by the Emperor for it to be universally adopted. I'd say 300 AD is pretty earlier on.

The 30 years war was an absolutely brutal affair with war, genocides, torture and religious oppression. Do you know anything about European history? For someone who is obsessed with "white identity" you don't seem to know much about European history in the slightest.

Of course Middle East and Asia have had genocides and war. Except nobody there is dumb enough to pretend like they are all the same people.

But until Constantine adopted christianity, it was very much a minority religion. He is widely credited with being the means by which christianity became so widely adopted in Europe. You have the cart before the horse.

I note that the area of Europe that resisted christianity the longest was Scandinavia. They were never ruled by Rome, and converted about 800 - 1000. Mostly by government fiat.

Which means that generally, European christianity came to dominance through government action, not by individual conversion. Indeed, all you have to do is look at christmas and easter traditions, not to mention catholic veneration for holy water and Mary, to see that ordinary people were very attached to their pagan traditions and didn't want to let them go.

Seeing off topics and anti-Christian bashing on this forum is really sickening. Liberals likes to take advantage. Wish we could have them live in an Islamic nation and then came back to truly appreciate Christian and Western values.
No. Liberals are being trained to hate anything that white European males tend to like. If it was the White European male that was the dominant demographic practicing Islam, then they would hate it too.

But it was about an Emperor trying to force Catholicism on Protestants etc not about white people fighting just based on ethnicity. The heck middle easterners and Asians don't have affinity for each other. You're trying to make some kind of distinction without a difference to claim white people are morally inferior and should be more divided.

The point is Europeans have been predominately Christian for a very long time and have been very successful for many centuries, but the Left is just against white Europeans and everything they do or like. The left is just the worst kind of bigotry rotting the West from the inside.
