Xtianity spread at the point of a sword because it was in Constantine's interest to do so.

Try not to forget that again.

Quote:While many people tend to exaggerate the growth of Christianity before the 4th century, ninety percent of the empire was not Christian, and there is no evidence that Christianity could have continued to grow. It was the support of the emperor Constantine that transformed Christianity into a driving force in the Roman Empire. “Most authorities agree that by 300 A.D., between seven and ten percent of the population of the Roman Empire were Christian.”

Note, though, that it does not specify what "kind" of xtians. It was a fragmented doctrine split by a number of heresies and it took a while for the state and their chosen xtian allies to stamp out the others.

You really have much to learn and you'll never find it if you keep reading and repeating the same old sorry shit.
Which authorities, what are their names, what are their qualifications, who opposes what they say, and why? How has it been determined that Christianity spread had been exaggerated before the fourth century? Where is you proof of any of this minnie? Or is speculation now considered proof? You guys scream and wine about proof, but when it is your turn to provide it you demand we take what you say on faith.

Your quotes are empty, and your reasoning flawed, if you measure by the standards you use against Christianity.

Drippy, haven't you fucking learned by now that you will never get away with putting this horseshit out as if it is fact when it is nothing more than a figment of your imagination.

You can't even provide evidence that your boy ever lived...let alone that he came back from the dead or will return at some unspecified time in the future.

Truthfully, there isn't one reasonable assertion anywhere in that asinine religion of yours.

see the above post you hypocrite.
