"...I study the history of christianity so I do contend to know something about it. Some of the points you make are not incorrect. If you think that reading an account of the lives of a few Christians can change my realistic view of the history of christianity you are wrong..."

You can STUDY the history of "christianity" all you want. I've met Theologians who haven't a clue as to the person of CHRIST. There are believers and there are those who claim to be believers. Two entirely different concepts. One involves thinking you know something about Christianity because you've study it's history. The other involves a personal relationship with the person of Christ.

If I studied a French cookbook I would know something about French cooking but it wouldn't make me a French chef.

Oh, EXCELLENT analogy, pizzalady!

Learning ABOUT Christianity from secular anti-Christian historians doesn't give you an inkling of the truth of the person of Jesus Christ, and HE is the one whose love is now being spread throughout the Middle East.
