Parhad,

I presented the historical facts and you couldn’t rebut any one of them. I established using historical facts available in any encyclopedia that it would have been impossible for anyone to force Armenians to become Christians.

I presented open challenges on the topic which geographically and chronologically includes Armenia and you presented nothing.

What happened ? Lamasu got your tongue?

>Before we get ten more posts asking for dates..I`ll just say I have none...no proof to offer...except I`d like someone to show me ONE instance when any pagan culture...up to today...threw away anything for Jesus....I`m basing my statement on the implausibility of the Church`s ridiculous contention...ANY CHRISTIAN church!!! As well as the known and bloody recoed of forced conversions everywhere else in the world.

>Paul`s examples prove my point..not his...I say where people were given the free choice, the overwhelming majority stayed right where they were...how then do we explain for the SAME Jew-based, Messiah laced religion SWEEPING everywhere else? We account for it by looking at who was weilding the broom..and what we know of how they did it..in other words...it`s the Romans and they forced and murdered people into Jesus...after depressing and inspiring the growth of the Messiah complex in Paul.

>All we`ve accomplished, it seems to me, is proving Paul is a Jew...proving that Dean doesn`t have the encyclopedias he said he had..and that all cultures who came to Christ, forsaking their own ways, were killed and brutalized into it..and oh yes...wherever Christianity didn`t use violence it remained a minor something or other for 2000 years..and shows no signs of gaining any ground in the next 10,000.

>All of which shows us that it had absolutely no earth shattering anything to it...and CERTAINLY not for the people of Ashur.

>I rest my case...and Paul can be a Jew...he has Ashur`s blessings, I am sure. Speaking for him let me say we never meant you people any harm and next time get your own stories.
