“Takeover “? As in a Democratic vote version?
Well, it seems like (“mob rule”) Democracy may have to go away for those who don’t like or can’t accept the results.
The Founders loathed and feared a pure democracy, and limited it within Constitutional constraints. Not everyone could vote back then. And immigrants had to pledge an Oath of Allegiance to the Constitutional Republic. Otherwise, people who produce nothing can just vote to seize the productive fruits of those who do. Kinda like the Biden’s. Or vote out and “fundamentally change “ the Republic.
Strap in.

Truth is subjective. Like Pilate said “What is Truth “. Might will always rule over Truth. At least until or if the promised “I am the Truth…” comes down in the clouds (likely nuclear) and unites Humanity under a common Vision.
That’s a long shot with a LOT of pain but I think it will happen.

So were Lebanon and Syria until mid 80s. Saudis and others used their new foound oil wealth to poison the world with Islam. All with the help of the See Eye Aye and guys like Charlie Wilson.

Correct. The Roman occupation of Egypt forced Christianity on the Egyptians, closing temples and outlawing the worship of Isis and other Egyptian gods. This was completed around 500 AD

Don’t over-complicate it.
Throw out the people that want to put our women in bags.

The Egyptians native religions predate recorded history, They were a sophisticated civilization with an understanding of advanced mathematics and written language while the rest of the world still struggled with understanding how fire worked. The organized worship of the sun god Ra exceeds 5,000 years. References to Osiris have been discovered dating back to 3500bc but perhaps longer. The Egyptians collective worship of their native religions unified the country for millennia. Even the Greeks, when they took over Egypt, built native temples to appease the locals as they stripped the country of resources.
But the Romans & Byzantine destroyed the civilization - Nero first sent missionaries to build churches. But Theodosius made it illegal to practice the native religions. Those who refused to convert to Christianity were declared pagans and put to death, Christians desecrated ancient temples - erasing history. The last Egyptians migrated south until in 380ad they were killed at the Philae temple south of Aswan.

It fascinates me that Christians do not understand that the global spread of Jesus involved a very bloody campaign of killing and torture.
Interesting fact - Akhenaten (1350bc), father of Tut, is remembered for declaring that Egyptians all worship the same one god in the sky. This is the first recorded religious practice of monotheism. Egyptians eventually rejected this and took power from the pharaoh. His tomb has never been found, but some believe that he and his followers were exiled - or Exodus - across the red sea into Palestine where they settled and became the Israelites.
And what about Jesus' time in Egypt as a boy. During the reign of Herod, Mary & Joseph took Jesus to Egypt to hide. Jesus was raised in an environment not of Jews but Egyptians. It is why he was considered 'wise' to those in Israel on his return, because he had knowledge from an advanced civilization. He was able to gather crowds and philosophize his teachings influenced by other religions. It would have been fascinating to locals who had never left Palestine. The concept of a man being the son of a god or of a glorious kingdom in the next world are common themes in the Egyptian religions.

Not until the Romans adopted it. But your post is the biggest bag of mixed truths with false extrapolations.
So now explain the many miracles He performed, and also His resurrection. Since he only learned how to be a Son of God from the Egyptians.

Christians do recognize this, but why the discussion of the negative side of Christianity 2,000 years ago as opposed to the deep slide into despair once Islam takes over as observed in modern day history.

There’s a very simple explanation for these, but something tells me that you won’t like it.

Nero hated Christians and was responsible for killing as many as he could. After he burned down Rome, so he could rebuild it to his liking, he falsely blamed it on Christians in order for the non Christian Roman’s to join in with his hate for them and to kill more. The spread of Christianity “ The Dispersion” was due to persecution, see 1st Peter. Any time you hear someone say that Christianity was forced on someone, then whoever is forcing it on someone is not a Christian, but a false teacher and a heretic as described in the new testament letters. Nobody can force Christianity on you except God, 1 Cor 3:6.

Many believe he was in India, hence why many ceremonial aspects of the two religions are similar as well as many beliefs.

At which point in time?
As someone who grew up in Egypt, who still travels there for my job, has multiple friends who still live there, this is patently false.
In the late 80’s-early 90’s, Egypt was 80-90% Muslim, 10% Coptic. If anything, Christianity has in fact increased their numbers there.
No doubt there is a takeover in the US though. Hence why some voters shouldn’t be allowed to vote without being a taxpayer or property owner. We subsidize the same people who want us eradicated.

Did the Arab Spring have anything to do with that? MY years run together.

As a deflection and tacit defense of that destruction by the invaders.
Self loathing is a tenant for some.

Awww, did I hurt your feelings, Susan? I’m sorry, sweetie. I thought I was talking to people with some semblance of an intellect who don’t have fragile egos.
