CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY OR DIE
Millions of AfricanāAmericans are Christians today because their ancestors were converted against their will to the religion of the slave-master.
Hundreds of thousands of AmericanāIndians are Christians today because the Christian missionaries converted their ancestors against their will.
In Europe, it was the same thing. When Rome controlled most of the world, the Roman Emperor, Constantine, in 325 CE forced Christianity onto his subjects.
The people of Lithuania did not become Christians because they read the gospels and decided to accept their teachings. On the contrary, the people of Lithuania were forced into Christianity against their will, as a result of relentless military force.
