Quite a few: the Incas, the Aztecs, numerous African tribes; not to mention the North American Indians, who had their land stolen by these "Christians" and put onto reservations and treated like nobodies.

I think the phrase should be "how many different belief systems have people wiped out by using christianity as weapon". Unfotunately, may "pagan" or "heathen" belief systems were virtually erased when power hungry people used their rather large armies and christian guise to gain lands and control over territory. Just how many??? I dont know, and I dont think there will ever be an accurate count.

There have been a lot of wars and bloodshed in the name of God. I'm a Christian and I think wiping out cultures and killing people over religion is wrong. I wish one day all people could know about God without anyone having to fight and kill each other over it.

Hmmm, I can count at least a dozen cultures that were destroyed by the good news just within about 200 miles of where I live in Colorado.

Most Christians don't understand that the main reason they are Christian is because their parents were, and if they could go back far enough they would find that their ancestors had a choice to become Christian or die. They chose Christianity, it was better than dying. Then they were riddled with guilt, continue believing or you will go to hell. Wonderful story.

Not really. Poseurs have generally been under judgement since this began to mark their rejection from on high and the reprehensible nature of the contortions they put the truth through. In this life, nobody ever really gets away with anything, honestly. That's why logical minds often cite the principle of cause and effect. This is a time you don't have to
' worry ' about that. There is an edict of silence generally in place. You know what you are by the ease with which you break an edict.

Lord only knows. I'm sure there are some that we will never know about because they were wiped out long ago when 1st in contact with contagious "Christians."

Lots. The reason Pagans have such a limited amount of information about the older parts of our faith iss because Christians burned so many of our Priest and Pristess. Most of ours was oral and there was so many put to death a lot was lost.

Don't forget the aboriginies in Australia. They're still trying to get to them... I don't think that there is a single ethnic group that hasn't faced the dangerous end of a sword or gun when dealing with Christians (as a group).
