The Christian conquest of the Americas didn't exactly lack for blood and plunder. The killing and enslavement of Native Americans was on a scale not approached until the 20th century. Cortez and Pizzaro come to mind. The numbers killed (intentionally or by disease)

Now you are blaming the Spaniards for purposely infecting the indians? That is really off the wall. However, Christianity was spread not through conquest but peacefully. The thirst for conquest is a human one, not a Christian one and the Christian Church did a lot to better the conditions and to protect the Indians in the Americas.

I never claimed that disease was spread intentionally. You really need to learn to read.

In New Mexico (when under Spain), the churches used Indians as slaves. You should read some history sometime. The historical record shows that thirst for conquest seems every bit as Christian as Islamic or Roman or whatever.
