what happend 2000 years ago

[LonesomeTexan]

to deny that something miraculous happend 2000 years ago is to deny reality. obviously something must of happend for Christianity to have spread throughout the world. to start from a group of disciples to religion with over a billion followers, there has to be something powerful behind this. can anyone explain how Christianity was not only preserved but spread thoughout the world the way it has? why did Christianity manage to stay around while Roman and Greek mythology disappeared? what is so special about Christianity that it managed to stand the test of time?

Note: Begging the question is never a good way to start off a discussion.

As for your questions, I suggest a good book on the history of Christianity.

Seems to me that through an accident of history and geography a personality cult, piggy-backing off a middle eastern tribes mythology, became one of the largest religions in the world.

to deny that something miraculous happend 1400 years ago is to deny reality. obviously something must of happend for Islam to have spread throughout the world. to start from a group of disciples to religion with over a billion followers, there has to be something powerful behind this. can anyone explain how Islam was not only preserved but spread thoughout the world the way it has? why did Islam manage to stay around while Roman and Greek mythology disappeared? what is so special about Islam that it managed to stand the test of time?

For added fun, plug in Hinduism or Zoroasterism (sp?) to see why this non-arguement is bogus.
