When Christianity was spread in Early times, The Native American lost their culture and languages. The blacks lost their identity and culture and languages. Even some Asians and Latinos lost their culture and languages. Why did Christianity dominated them?

Christianity is about 'changing' for the better, as the God the Holy Spirit 'washes' and illuminates the soul of a believer.The Holy Spirit in believers aids and provides spiritual girts for others to fill the love of Christ, the lamb, for which he acts as a redeemer. Chritianity spread through the world as Gods attempt to make Christs teachings (and the teachings of the disciples) spread across the world.
Non-Chritians can sin and commit wickednedness (as they surrended to Satan's 'machinations') but then Christ sits at Gods right hand side and 'saves' you.I believe the problem lies within the 'culture' itself and the polictics and the faith of the oppressed community.The Native Americans were Godless heavens worshipping non-existent spirits and in comparison to the puritan Christian they were sinful, With time man is lead along a path, empires rise and fall, wars are won and lost, people born and people die, manicheaism flourished and then it fades, the mayans flourished and then they faded.
Christianity, is change, therefore God wanted the world to change, from a world of idolaters and the sinful to a more just and godly world.God wanted morals and a task for men to follow in their life. In addition to losing culture and language is really down to worldly powers, worldly thoughts and worldy desires ( men want to have power on Earth, men think about non-spiritual things and men think about material and non material things-i,e, what to eat and give into desires). I do not believe that Chritianity should or is forceful, as 'the truth is worse then any hell' and 'jesus has paved a path for us to follow'.
People convert and flee from their formerself and formerlives, for the better. For example St. Augustine was a 'hearer' and a follower of Manichaeism and then came under the influence of Neoplationism ( which is a worldy thought) and after nine years of being a hearer he converted.
Christianity is the most dominant religion (faith) today because people change and desire to follow a godly life and not a life of sin.
God bless

They were just following the rules. Rules on conquest: 1) Start a war and claim the other side started it. 2) Defeat the enemy and eliminate their defenders. 3) Offer mercy until you discover all their secrets. 4) Accuse the all their leaders and intellectuals of heresy after you complete rape+pillage+murder cycle, and then kill them as an example. 5) Destroy their literature and history to prevent revivals. 6) Claim anything of value was yours and then make up viscous lies to discredit the opposition. 7) Assimilate the native populations and force them under pain of death and damnation in hell to follow your beliefs of "love".
This system is very effective and has worked for thousands of years. The Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Nazis, Soviets, and Christians all used it with great success. The modern threats are science and archeology. You must keep folks in those areas underpaid and ridiculed so that young intelligent and dynamic people who may be interested in these fields are lured to the more lucrative pursuits of entertainment such as acting, professional athletics, singing, dancing, and prostitution (Heidi Fleis is a certified genius). Remember Galileo? He was just pardoned a few years ago. Poor Darwin is still getting bashed about. Strange that Darwin's discovery about the strong eliminating the weak is ridiculed as heresy when in fact it is the obvious truth!

All of the Abrahamic religions destroy that which is in any place they move into. The Jews killed of or integrated many peoples in the middle east that differed from them in order to eliminate them as their religion spread,the Christians and Muslims simply carried that tradition on. They refuse to accept those who are different than them and all three religions are about domination at their core.

Don't forget about the genocide of the Gnostic's and Ebonites by Christians. Although, this isn't truly a reflection of the religion, but rather the mechanical like people in their self imposed ignorance that works through it. And please mr.Atheist guy don't for one second even believe that somehow people will stop being animals and territorial by nature - because they won't there will always be a vessel by which man can express his baser nature.

Just look at the Hawaiians and Polynesians, before Christians showed up, they were all walking around topless or naked, unashamed, the veritable Utopia. Now they wear long dresses, damn Christians.
