Unless the 8 legged aliens happen to be inclined to cram the myth of T'Glook the radiant universal octopus up each christian ass and out their mouth first.
The efficacy of organized religious conversion efforts seems to be quite closely related to the military, technological, and economic power that backup the conversion effort. Given that statistically, overwhelming percentage of any sentient, technological alien we meet will be much more advanced than we are, and thus in possession of military and ecoonomic superiority the likes of which we can't even imagine in the throes of revelation induced fantasy, I give christianity almost zero chance of success in coverting aliens. Indeed I give christianity almost zero chance of resisting any efforts by any alien who is of the mind to force us to adapt a different form of stupidity.
