How Christianity Spread
Direct evidence of how Christianity spread is impossible to find. We do not have, nor will anyone ever have, direct evidence of how Christianity spread.
What we do have is the genes of the people who thought that many people in Iraq needed to be killed because of a certain idea. From this and from what we believe about Iraq’s possession of W.M.D., we can draw certain conclusions about Christianity. We can think about why certain people living near the Middle East at the time might have begun thinking Europeans should give space close to their homes to non-Europeans and worship a rabbi.
There certainly were many wars, and the people there at the conclusion of those wars did begin worshiping a rabbi. You will have to decide if those people began worshiping a rabbi and killing many people to hash out the details of how best to worship a rabbi because they thought that rabbi’s origin story was very compelling, or if something else happened.
(Most people favor the story that those people began worshiping a rabbi and killing many people to hash out the details of how best to worship a rabbi because those people thought that rabbi’s origin story was very compelling. Being able to conceive of history using evidence rather than consensus is too difficult for the majority of Earthlings now.)
How Christianity spread is a fundamental story of western culture. Like an even bigger version of the official stories of the "world wars" (the calling of European wars that is a demonstration of verbally unifying things that are not actually unified, much like the many instances of universalism seen in other decay narratives), it frames so much of what people now think and do. The idea is a true foundation of modern (post-Jesusian) western thought. Even the proverbial most conspiratorial conspiracy theorists do not say anything but the official story about why Europeans started changing their laws to appeal to a hypothetical rabbi (including the beginning trickles of the immivasion, the later stages of which are now gaining attention). Although they may be willing to question official narratives in many other venues, they do not even imagine that the story of what truly happened to get Europe to open its borders and worship a rabbi can be anything but the official story. Many of them even believe that allegiance to Jesusian Christianity offers resistance to the tellers of such official stories!
The story of Christianity’s initial spread is utterly absurd. Beyond absurd. While certain aspects of the many other official stories that frame modern society are absurd, the story of how Christianity spread into Europe is quite a bit more ridiculous. Did jet fuel burn so hot that it made a steel building fall down? Did the people of Europe decide to worship a rabbi? Many other official stories are silly; implausible; directly contradicted by evidence. Yet, the prodigiously untrue official story of Christianity’s entry into Europe exceeds all extravagant modern mistruths in falsity.
Now, if there is an omnipotent invisible sky man, and if He prefers to be a rabbi when He comes to Earth, and if He used to not want people to eat pork but changed His mind…if all that, then maybe He used His super powers to subtly influence thousands of people’s minds in order to spread worship of Him into Europe. (He didn’t do that in Arabia or the Americas because of reasons.) In other fiction, such utterly nonsensical things have happened.
In this way, an understanding of western civilization really comes back to an understanding of Christianity itself. Christianity rules not just because western government still hold that universalism is so good that supporting universalism is worth killing large numbers of people. The religion also rules because so many White people here believe that the people of Europe suddenly decided to worship as an omnipotent god an official wise man of the tribe south.
There are many improbable stories which frame how people approach the world today. For example, if the story is that someone were a really bad person who tried to take over the world when evidence shows that he was very patiently tolerating a lot then being eventually forced to defend the people he had been charged with defending. That, or a bunch of high buildings fell down because of fires burning insanely hotter than fires ever burn. Such narratives are ridiculous. Even more ridiculous than these stories, though, is the story of Christianity’s initial expansion. This story tells that the people of southern Europe started worshiping as an all powerful god one of the leaders of the tribe south of Europe. And yet, such is the official story of how Christianity first spread.
Think of the many horrible betrayals conjoined to that spread. All my kids disappeared when the Roman Army let the desert wanderers come north. I never saw my kids again. Therefore, I will forever love and pray to a god in the form of one of the desert wanderers. Believable? Try the mundane. I wanted to be a scribe, but then the Roman Army let the desert wanderers come north. One of the men from those people took the job I wanted, and then his son got one of the jobs that were my backups, and his cousins these other ones, so I’ll have to be something else. Therefore, I will forever love and pray to a god in the form of one of the desert wanderers. Believable?
Back to Iraq CE2003. Many people have come to see that it was a series of mistruths which caused the killing of over a million Iraqi civilians. By the same token, many others have come to see that the means by what is the description of a foreign threat that does not actually exist gets an obscene quantity of people killed. Death and/or an obscene quantity of money transferred is a trend, not a onetime happening. Many official narratives have been figured out thus. Yet, the biggest falsity of all; the original one that provided the fodder for all the others—Christianity—has remained untouched.
The totally ridiculous idea that the people of Europe really liked that they should love, obey, and kill for a wise man of the people who lived moving about the desert south of them has become sacrosanct to the farchildren of the initial victims of Christianity. The notion that many more than a thousand years of telling absurd mistruths began with the simple worship of a foreign wise man should be highly instructive. Christianity’s triumph led to a very different world. It led to a world where it was said that Saddam was hiding piles of W.M.D. and plotted to attack Usica with them. In that world, burning jet fuel does indeed destabilize steel, the Germans planned to cooperate with Mexico to invade the southwestern United States, and so forth. Just as crazy lone gunmen with no help whatsoever keep killing schoolchildren in Usica, an invisible rabbi lives in the sky and hears you when you imagine words to him in your head.
Okay, it got way too sickening to let those Ists speak anymore! We have done enough of that for now. Christianity rules not because of the weird crazy conspiracy theory things they said, but because Jesus is so great! Jesus! Jesus.
Basically, Jesus.
