Summary: Ok, so why convert? I mean, we’re looking at a warrior culture with gods that reflected it. And anyone who spent time looking at the character of Christ would soon realize that he was a civilian... not a warrior. And pretty much everyone of any status (with the possible exception of the priest class) was a warrior of one sort or another. So what good was this god? And he probably appeared rather strange, since his story involves him being killed... he never fights a war... his message is forgiveness and peace... and his followers eat his flesh and drink his blood. All in all, it probably seemed quite strange. And on top of everything else, you couldn’t worship him in addition to your war gods... We will see, later in our story, that some Pagan kings tried to just fit Christ into the pantheon... but that wasn’t allowed, and the church was quite clear that you could /only/ worship the christian god. No others. In a world that’s filled with gods, such an action is spurning a lot of other gods. That seems dangerous. So how do you sell that?
