Like I said, Charles Martel did the exact same thing for the pagans he defeated in battle, and he WAS a Christian. If he can do that with Europe being populated by firm believing Christians, I see no reason why it can’t be done here. And besides, Jesus never said “let bygones be bygones”, he said “go and spread the gospel to the four corners of the world” which isn’t much different than spreading it by the sword. Unless you want us to just do it like Jimmy Carter did with the Shah of Iran?
Sorry, my mistake, that was Charlemagne, but my point still stands.
Charles Martel lived in a different time where force was acceptable, but you are talking about forcing Christianity on people who are educated and to some degree free. I really don’t think your show of force will end happily ever after.
I am not sure I am getting the equivalence between Jimmy Carter betraying the Shah and us cutting Europe loose to fend for themselves.
