I used Wikipedia because I did not want to give information without some type of reference. Everyone is familiar with Wikipedia,.
Aye. I use it a lot too. I only mention it because in arguments people will often treat it as “useless” without following the references, or finding other sources to back up what they find.

No offense intended =)

I need to get off the internet for a bit. Have a good night!
 
The Apostles didn’t spread Christianity. The Roman Empire tortured, imprisoned and killed people, destroying lives indiscriminately, enslaving people, and Forcing the religion onto people who might otherwise have come to it, of their own volition, had it been practiced in the ways Christ spoke of, rather than with violence and destruction that still haunts and drives people away from the Church and Faith in Christ.
This is falsehood. Christianity was not spread as you describe. Please don’t spread such falsehood.
One can’t argue with Atheism,
Sure you can. I do it all the time. It’s quite easy to do, especially since it lacks reason and logic.

“Arguing” with people doesn’t mean you “win” and I seriously doubt you get very far with very many Serious Atheists who understand reason and logic, probably better than you do, if you think emotionally defending falsehoods, by implying I’m the one doing so, is what you would call “reason”

I see you’ve been Catholic for a few years now. May I ask what you were before? I’ve been Catholic my whole life.

One of the many failings people run into, trying to “convert” or in attempting to “bring Christ” to non-christians, especially, is the inability to see the truth as facts, and deny them, in favor of “defending the faith” at an emotional level, rather than enable oneself to argue from a perspective of reason, in acknowledgement of past failures.

One can’t argue with Atheism, when one struggles with understanding their perspective of history available for All to read. If we don’t learn from History, we’re doomed to repeat it, and we All suffer for it.
Documentation please. I have studied the early Church fairly well and have never seen this hypothesis, save for some more extreme protestant historians.
