by the time of the crusades, all of western europe was christian (except moslems in spain). inquisition was even later. 'indoctrination' is just the term you use for convincing and converting. there was no 'genocide' to convert the saxons, the saxon leadership converted on the promise they kept titles.

for the first 300 years of christian history no person was converted by force, only logic and emotion. it was so fast that pagans, who had no arguments, had to resort to martyring christians, which helped only more in the end.

the only crusades launched against the pagans were against the romuva in a tiny part of eastern europe, and it was done because pagans were raiding christians and enslaving them.

the reason people converted to christianity is because the pagan religion makes no sense, and also is very dumb.

i did forget the systematic destruction of ancient documents, sources, and sacred temples and artefacts (most of which remaining only survived outside of christian reach) most of this stuff did happen quickly, you are right. Early christians were efficient in their bloodlust, and in their seizure of power.

Charlemagne masscured those saxons who did not convert. Saxons he convinced to be unarmed to be slaughtered

As for pagans with arguments (especially for later ages), Plotinus is one. 

I know it's easy brushing history aside, but pagans are not concerned with conversion, not as much as the christian was and is (albeit less lethal now than it was). 

the crusades bit, I'm sure you mean just mean livonian? romuva is a modern reconstructionist movement, mostly trying to repair the damage of christianity and its zealotry. the same way the asatru do for our northern brethren, or religio romana for those in the south

charlemagne massacred saxons who rebelled, not who refused to convert (he did also massacre those who did pagan practices, but not those who refuse to convert). some who rebelled, he didnt execute if they agreed to convert. in modern day, treason can get you the death sentence. keep also in mind that saxons were a minority of Germanys population (most Germans already christian).

the name for romovua/livonian doesnt matter, the point is they were a tiny amount of people, who were enslaving christians and so had to be destroyed.

you are right, i misspoke when i said pagans had no arguments. i meant they had no good arguments.

there was no systematic destruction of European pagan documents. there was 
1) a lack of pagan documents in the first place (barbarians didnt write stuff down, and even the hellenic pagans didnt write all that much; a lot of what they did we still have)
2) sporadic destruction of temples, bottom up mostly (pagans would attack christians, christians would retaliate by burning the pagan temple)
3) some state sponsored destruction of pagan idols and texts

i am talking of european pagans, not others (there was definitely systematic destruction of documents by the spanish in the new world).

i also dont get why you are whining about this. those gods clearly dont exist; would they sit idly by as no one worships them for over a thousand years? clearly they do not exist.

Wouldn't that apply to every deity, including the abrahamic god tho?
