“ This has always been the way : the outside world portrayed , their colonization of the islands of the Pacific . They send in the missionaries to convert the savages and the missionary will always target the chief , once he or she is converted and baptized the rest of the people follows . This clearly shows that conversion started from the top downward . The most interesting thing about the spread of Christianity in the Pacific is the clever way it was intertwined with politic . Convert , than coerced to become a colony all in the name of God . Bring God and civilization to the poor heathen Every time someone writes about the island nations of the Pacific they white wash history to show how benevolent they were , but in reality they were land grabbing , and BLACKBIRDING . Christianity was forced. feed down the throat of the known world by Rome , same as Islam which was forced upon people by the sword . All the suffering in the name of GOD ??? ”
