Christian Response to New Belief Systems

Most Christian Churches are very predictable in their response to new belief systems.  They often follow a three step pattern.

Step 1) Criticize, deride, and ridicule the new belief system. 

If that does not work move on to Step 2.

Step 2) Take the new or existing beliefs and Christianize them by changing the wording and ideas and then introducing into a newer Christian Belief System.

If this does not work move on to Step 3.

Step 3) Destroy the offending information or destroy the infidel messenger by imprisonment, torture and then murder the followers of the belief system.

(See "The Second Messiah" p 118-119)

Sometimes the Christian Religion does not bother with the first two steps and starts out with Step 3.

For a prime example of this see the Albigensian Crusade and Destruction of Knowledge.
