I was just thinking about this. If you take the right approach at contacting tribal civilizations it must be pretty easy to convince them to switch to a Christian religion. I mean, think about it. Alot of the tribes that you hear about have evil spirits and are constantly fearing for their lives. Believing that there's a God that loves you unconditionally, I don't think it would be very hard to accept it.
Your thoughts? This is not a detate, and if you see it as one then put it there. |

The same way they have bad spirits they also have good ones whom they believe will protect them in the same way that christians have saints. And they also have their own various gods. The only difference is that they have many while others have one. Besides, why should anyone change what they believe? I don't think its right, and I don't think people should meddle in other people's beliefs. |
