Easy Evangelism	comment	Any story where a character is converted unnaturally easily to whatever the writer is trying to teach. Somehow, they just haven't heard of the author's point of view until then. For example, this tends to manifest itself in Christian tracts with phrases such as "Who's Jesus?" If the unbeliever has heard of Jesus, they somehow haven't heard about the "died on a cross for everyone's sins, came back to life three days later" thing. However, this is not exclusive to Christians—any Aesop or ideology, be it political, religious, or otherwise, is just as susceptible. What matters is that the author depicts others who are easily convinced to agree with the message. Easy Evangelism is related to Strawman Political and Confirmation Bias, but common in a wide enough range of sources to be worth its own trope. This trope is the idea that the opposition isn't bad; they merely picked up their philosophy without thinking of the obviously superior alternative. This may be a misguided attempt to make the opposing viewpoint more likable. After all, if they'd heard of Christianity, it means one of two things: either they'd already be a Christian, or they rejected it - which makes them irredeemably evil. Therefore the only good excuse is to somehow have never heard of it in the first place. Ironic in that while it may be an attempt to "soften the blow" of an attack on the opposition, members of the actual opposition may see it as even worse than just calling them "bad". At the very least, it's extremely patronizing. It's also worth noting that even if you think your alternative is superior and the people in question hadn't thought of it, they are very unlikely to just fall in line right away, or fall in at all for that matter; people very rarely change deeply held beliefs on a whim. Bad usage of this trope can fall into False Dichotomy territory by citing only few (usually two) possible views on the matter while ignoring/dismissing every remaining one. Anyone who doesn't immediately convert or fall to their knees in thanks instantly reveals themselves as evil and worthy of being Hoist by His Own Petard. Of course, Sue will forgive them once they realize the error of their defiance, but if not, Karmic Death time! The alternative is for the evil character to instantly change their ways and show that faith has made them good: a Heel–Faith Turn. Very common in an Author Tract, and often manifested by an Author Filibuster. Despite the title it can refer to any belief system, religious or otherwise. If the convert bases their faith on miracles rather than actual faith, then one is all it takes for the Easy Evangelism to work. May also result from a Suspiciously Specific Sermon. Attempting Easy Evangelism in a story that isn't an Author Tract (or is one, but not for the character's faith) is likely to devolve into Activist-Fundamentalist Antics instead. See also Armor-Piercing Question when Easy Evangelism is accomplished by a single question. This trope is Older Than Feudalism, but Don't Try This at Home. Jesus Himself deconstructed this trope in the Parable of the Sower; there are those who accept the Word with joy right away, but fold when the going gets tough. Contrast Turn to Religion, when a character has a more realistic conversion: a sudden crisis may be the turning point, but it also generally takes a lot of time for reflection. Has nothing to do with Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Justified in that he had spent most of his life as a prisoner of Manticore where he wasn't exposed to religion, and while inside he kept a statue of Mary as a symbol of hope without knowing its religious context. His interpretation of Christianity also involves bringing the statue the teeth of people he's killed, too.

Groundskeeper Willie simply needs to be told that their leader "knows all and sees all" in order to become convinced. In "Faith Off" Bart also lampshades this (he was already going to church, but was a pretty terrible Christian), telling a faith healer that he's just going to live a life of sin and then "presto chango, deathbed repentance." The preacher manages to convince him to convert by telling him he'll be covered against sudden death.

Within the next minute and a half, all of these angry philosophers are transformed into disciples of Jesus. Audiences may find it justified, however, in that it's explicitly non-literal, and since it's a prologue, dragging it out longer would really derail the pacing of the whole show.

Easy Evangelism / int_2cfe43cb	comment	You might expect this from Adventures in Odyssey, being a heavily Christian-themed show. Many, many characters convert over the course of the series, but the only truly straight example of the trope in the show's history was Katrina, who discovered Christianity at the beginning of one episode and was a convert before that same episode's halfway point. The show generally takes a Surprisingly Realistic Outcome approach, and most conversions come at the end of a lengthy soul-searching story arc, with the longest being those of Connie and Eugene, two of the show's three main characters, who spent a good portion of the series as agnostics but were never depicted unsympathetically for it. To top it off, one episode was about how evangelism isn't easy.

This even extends to homicidal maniacs who have been driven insane by having monsters sealed inside of them and remorseless sociopaths who have killed hundreds of people as children. Helped along in some cases by their realization that he and they aren't so different... and he didn't end up evil or more than mildly insane. Many of them also used to be idealistic, so often, it's a matter of undoing the processes that made them who they were when Naruto first met them, or forcing them to see them in a new light. The major exception being Sasuke, at least for the time being. Parodied by fanart everywhere.◊

The fifth game makes things a little more reasonable: proximity to a city following a certain religion will cause a city's population to slowly convert over time, a process that can be sped up by sending missionaries, but unless you send inquisitors, believers in other faiths don't just disappear (a city's "religion" is whichever one is believed by more than half the population). Still played straight with Great Prophets, which can automatically convert a city's entire population with no other faiths allowed.

Easy Evangelism / int_5e150650	comment	Deconstructed in Exalted. Socially-focused characters can sway their enemies to their side with relative ease — a devout member of the Immaculate Faith with average Conviction takes only two scenes of argument to convert from "kill the Anathema" to "yay Solars" — and Presence 5 is spelled out as being skilled enough to convert a member of the Wyld Hunt to the worship of the Unconquered Sun. But. Most characters who can do this are in fact using Charms that produce unnatural mental influence, or in plain English, Mind Control. Hence the Wyld Hunt's claim that the Solars are a case of Light Is Not Good. This subject is considered important enough, both in example and exception, that the rulebook lays out a set of rules for "social combat" (which includes debate and evangelism) which almost entirely mirror the extent and depth of the rules for physical combat. Because a target's Conviction stat determines how easily they're swayed to a new cause, those weak-willed NPCs (Conviction 1) that you talked into joining you with one amazing speech can just as easily be talked out of it by anyone else's speech. The reliable converts are the ones you can't win easily.

Terry's dad reveals he knows exactly why homosexuals are the way they are, he knows it's not a choice, and he knows they aren't harmful... he simply doesn't like it. Then the episode ends. The Aesop being sometimes prejudice isn't fixable, and you should ignore it and move on.

However, when the protagonists kill him and dump his body before his people, they immediately cheer his death and declare Furiosa their new ruler. Joe was an oppressive and greedy ruler, but all previous indications were that his peoples' adherence to his Cult of Personality was genuine. Nux goes from a die-hard adherent of Immortan Joe's cult, sent into a fervor of religious ecstasy when Joe so much as made eye contact with him, to being willing to die to oppose his tyranny after a short pep talk from a pretty girl.

Easy Evangelism / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: The Diplomacy skill is this in a nutshell. As long as the DM doesn't impose significantnote (D&D rules leave circumstantial bonuses and penalties up to the DM, as well as their magnitude) penalties, achieving a roll of 50 can transform a hostile person to a willing assistant in a minute of conversation. If you accept a small penalty, the same can be accomplished in 6 seconds. In epic levels, they add the fanatic state of mind, allowing a skillful enough speaker to cause a hostile army into a band of fanatic followers willing to die for you in one combat round. There is a known character build that eventually results in being able to substitute any other skill for a Diplomacy check. Combine this with the Jumplomancer build which raises your Jump skill to obscene levels and you can instantly turn an army of enemies in frothing fanatics by jumping really high. Easy Evangelism indeed. The spell Enthrall, in its 1st and 2nd Edition versions, allowed priests to invoke this trope on NPCs by preaching to crowds. Listeners who failed their save enough times could be converted to the speaker's faith, even if they'd been devout followers of other deities. Similarly, in 3rd edition, the result of a failing to resist the "bluff" skill was that the target actually believed the claim. This wouldn't have been a huge problem, since the penalties and bonuses make truly ridiculous claims almost impossible to pull off, save for a potion called "glibness" which made it impossible to fail a bluff check against the vast majority of targets. This meant that you could tell people that they'd been a life-long follower of whatever and, following a six-second one-liner, they'd automatically believe you. The rules for the skill, however, do specify that this belief only persists for "at least for a short time (usually 1 round or less)." The Book of Exalted Deeds gives rules by which you can convert an enemy from their starting alignment towards Good — and they avert the trope, because it takes a great deal of effort. There are ways in which you can skew the process in your favor, but expect a lot of frustration before making any headway if you capture and try to convert the campaign's Big Bad. (And forget it if it's a fiend — evil outsiders are made of evil, so they aren't going to bend.)

He comes out feeling "young again-a man of eighty". While Bra'tak's change of heart was rather abrupt and underdeveloped — possibly for time and pacing reasons — it had been established that the temple of Kheb was a Jaffa legend he held dear: In the last two seasons, many people are converted to the Origin extremely quickly. Although considering the power of the Ori is very real and those who do doubt are given the choice "worship us or die", it's fairly easy to understand why they convert so readily — after all, a lot of those cultures had already been worshiping the Goa'uld as gods for millennia.

Subverted in some episodes, notably in "Guerilla My Dreams", where Hawkeye and co. try their hardest to save a captured woman from the South Korean agent who suspects her of being a communist guerrilla and is bringing her in to be tortured and executed after she is healed. At the end, the agent stands there and translates what the woman says at the surgeons. Hawkeye and co. still don't take it well, even after what the guerrilla says, but it definitely shows that his view isn't necessarily the correct one. Given his reactions, it is also entirely possible that Hawkeye didn't care whether or not the woman was a guerilla, but rather that he was just disgusted at the whole situation, i.e. being asked to patch someone up just to have them be executed later. That didn't go over well with him previously, when Colonel Flagg did something similar.

To make things even worse, despite being a science geek, Steve proceeded to explain his newfound faith with an analogy so scientifically inaccurate that Richard Feynman must have been turning in his grave. Thankfully, after the initial preachiness, this is mainly used just to set up a plot where Steve tries to get on the church choir with the Winslows despite his nasal voice and lack of singing ability; afterward, Steve's religion was generally only brought up during Christmas Episodes.

While one of the villagers is horribly disillusioned after finding out that she was convinced to join the church based upon lies, her faith is restored when she learns that the rest of her villagers had known all along that the stories were made-up; they had interpreted them as metaphors and parables that could inspire them to better their own lives.

A variant also can occur, where after the filibuster the character who has been arguing may smile knowingly and say "Okay," suggesting that they agreed with the character all along but kept the argument going for some reason of their own (however obscure at times). The show actually has very few instances of this actually working on someone though. Most politicians subjected to the main characters' logic came back with the argument that although they understood the merit of the main characters' argument, they still disagreed about its importance and/or thought the cons outweighed the pros (e.g. Ainsley telling Sam, after he makes fun of her for being against the Equal Rights Amendment, that all her rights are enumerated in the 14th Amendment and she doesn't need a bunch of "old white men" to hand down redundant laws reaffirming her equality.)

People are shown the light by a pretty statue, of two people standing tall, because no subject in The Empire seems to do that, along with the inscription "Your life is your own...", because no one in the empire seemed to have even thought of that. An alternative reading is that everyone had thought of it, or wanted to think of it, but they were so beaten down by the dystopia that they'd never dare say such things aloud before (the blacksmith and others admit as much in private earlier in the book). And seeing it displayed so openly and proudly finally convinced them to act on it. An ability to convince people is often stated to be a common trait to people who have the gift. Richard Rahl-Sue is the most gifted wizard ever. And the statue was implied to be at least in part a creation of magic. Again in Naked Empire, where Richard easily manages to show a bunch of pacifists that their view is wrong. Not only that, but he can get them to take up arms with no compunctions, despite it going against what they were told all of their lives. It can't be explained by magic here, since Richard's gift was explicitly not working at the time. It helps that they had already been wavering about their pacifism when faced with the Imperial Order ravaging them, but even so.

Easy Evangelism / int_a5549ed0	comment	The Bible: Inverted in the Old Testament, of all places—more specifically, in the Book of Exodus. In spite of being the chosen people of God, and receiving multiple proofs of divine support (such as the Red Sea parting and later swallowing a hostile army, food falling from the sky, and rocks in the middle of the desert spouting water), the people of Israel cannot be content with worshiping God, and in the end try to make their own. Aaron claimed it was meant to be an idol to the Lord, but considering their flagrant disregard for morality (they "sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play") and the fact that at least three thousand men refused to come to Moses to stand for the Lord (since three thousand were subsequently killed), this seems like a flimsy justification. After King David, the Israelites repeatedly "did evil in the eyes of the Lord." Kings and Chronicles both mention idolatry as a particular vice of Israel. God was pretty swift in kicking the Israelites in the butt for this, but apparently they were only easily evangelized in one direction. All through the Old Testament, the Israelites would be wandering around the desert for a little while, conquering people, and just lapse out of nowhere into worshiping Baal or the rest of the Canaanite religion. That is, they only worshiped God in times of distress as is common with most people, but during times of ease and comfort lapsed into idolatry. Some historians believe this was due to the Hebrews originally worshiping many gods, and slowly transforming to followers of just Yahweh over time. This has been hypothesized as an explanation for the First Commandment, which says they should have no other gods before Yahweh, implying (according to the theory, anyway) not only that they believed the other gods existed, but that it was okay to worship them if He were considered first. The Book of Jonah highlights Israel's unfaithfulness by contrasting it with the Gentiles' quick conversion. The sailors headed for Tarshish immediately show respect for Jonah's God when they see how powerful He is, and the Ninehvites don't even need to see a miracle: they rush to repent the moment they hear Jonah's warning. Jonah himself is actually disappointed with how easily they convert; he apparently was hoping to see Nineveh nuked by divine wrath. The story ends with a What the Hell, Hero? lecture from God Himself. Jesus himself also averted this in the New Testament. Even though performing miracles is hard to argue with, the general public often didn't agree with him. True, there were huge crowds who listened to him, but there were also a lot of skeptics too. This included the Pharisees and some crowd members who doubted him or believed he was demon-possessed. By the end, most of them left him to be crucified. Although, there were apparently a lot of "miracle workers" in those days, and many of them probably were demon-possessed, insane and/or outright frauds. What drove people away was that Jesus kept telling people that he wasn't going to be the Rebel Leader they were looking for. Even most of his disciples left (except the original Twelve) when he talked about believers "eating [his] flesh and drinking [his] blood"; not just because they were Squicked out by the idea, but because it was a clear statement that he was going to die, which the Messiah wasn't supposed to do. Deconstructed specifically by Jesus in the parable of the sower. In the story, some people simply refuse to hear the message, while others happily respond right away only to give up just as quickly when the going gets tough. The moral of the story is that real faith requires a solid foundation and genuine understanding, and will truly endure the trials to come. A straight example would be the Ethiopian Eunuch in The Acts of the Apostles who asks Philip who a passage in the Bible referred to, is told about Jesus, asks "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?" and becomes a Christian on the spot. Probably justified in that the fact that the Ethiopian had enough of an education and interest to be seriously studying Scripture before he met Philip indicates that he already had an interest in the faith. There's also Peter's sermon on the day of Pentecost, which, thanks to the power of the Holy Spirit, results in several thousand people converting then and there. Paul had more mixed results in his preaching to the Gentiles. After his sermon to the philosophers in Athens, much of the crowd is divided on the idea of the Resurrection. Some jeer at it, others are interested in hearing more about it some other time, and some believe in the message. Then there was the time he and Barnabas performed a miracle in a Greek city, only for the locals to conclude that they were incarnations of Zeus and Hermes. Averted when Paul speaks in his own defense before King Agrippa and concludes by asking the King if he is ready to believe, to which Agrippa mockingly responds, "In a short time would you persuade me to be a Christian?"

Easy Evangelism / int_b0793848	comment	It doesn't seem to take a lot for the McManus brothers in The Boondock Saints to convince people that their vigilantism is just and should be enabled. By that same token, however, the "on the street interviews" shown over the credits are also incredibly critical of the brothers, responses ranging from with What the Hell, Hero? moments to flat out calls for their arrest, and only one guy really takes their side (they also are wanted fugitives by that point for this, so obviously the government hasn't been persuaded). It's really only Rocco and Agent Smecker that they easily convince, but both were already fed up with society's evils by that point.

It doesn't help that she barely listens to him. The whole scene might be justified, though, as Custodian's flashback and shorthand to the real story. It's also all but stated that she gets off out of religious ecstasy on being in the Emperor's presence, and so just accepts whatever His spokesman tells her afterwards without question (both the Custodian and the Emperor are creeped out by this even centuries later).

One of the main characters, Aisling, is a forest spirit who becomes dedicated to helping Brendan illustrate the book, but remains completely Pagan. Later, Brendan and Aidan flee the Viking attack on Kells, only to run straight into the Viking leader, who grabs the book, opens it, and... rips out the pages, since he's only interested in the shiny cover.

Easy Evangelism / int_be03a5ee	comment	Left Behind: Used and not used rather bizarrely throughout the series. An obvious miracle protects Israel from attack by the entire Russian and Ethiopian(?) air and nuclear military capabilities? People barely react. The Rapture whisking away babies and the right kind of Christian across the world? It's probably because of... uh... technobabble. But some guy telling you that God is coming back and this is all according to some divine plan? Sure, I'm convinced. There's a blogger critiquing the series, and this is one of the things he's repeatedly pointed out (along with utter failures in worldbuilding, completely unlikable protagonists that barely act human, and the writing in general, to say nothing of the theology). As the blogger, Fred Clark, points out, not only do they never make use of the incredibly obvious miracles that have already happened, they also never make use of the ability to predict future events their particular biblical exegesis grants them. Nobody ever says "Looks like you're not ready to believe yet. Here, take my card, and if after the unscheduled solar eclipse next Tuesday you find yourself a bit more open minded, give me a call". In Kingdom Come, it's pretty easy for the believers in the Millennial Kingdom to evangelize the message of Jesus Christ being the only way to salvation, given that (1) God and Jesus Christ are real, and (2) any "natural" who remains an unbeliever by the time they reach 100 years of age will instantly die and go to Hell. It's the Other Light faction that has to work hard to convince people of their beliefs.

The samurai's solution is sometimes Easy Evangelism, but it's justified because these were always meant as Indulgent Fantasy Segues to begin with. When Kasumi tries to apply the lesson, it's much more realistic. Sometimes he concludes that the lesson doesn't apply after all and takes no action.

When a video is titled as such, it's almost guaranteed the "destroying argument" is an incredibly common one. For example, "destroying" Christianity by bringing up the Problem of Evil ("If God is good, why do bad things happen?"), which is something every Christian will have to deal with on their own before adulthood (or very shortly after conversion, for those not born into the religion).

Although it is a little downplayed in this case, as he'd been intending to reconcile with his Christian former girlfriend beforehand, and he appears to have already been reconsidering his view after he found the letter his mother wrote to him begging him not to lose his faith while she was dying. In fact, earlier he admits to hating God, implying he'd just been a pissed-off theist to begin with. The same goes for the atheist blogger Amy, who converts when she discovers that she has cancer. Martin,note The Chinese student who doesn't get named till the end. and by extension the entire class, as the film portrays them all being nonbelievers, or at least implies they're lax enough believers to not care about signing the statement that "God is dead", while this is America, converts to Christianity simply because of Josh's speeches. Ayisha, who has most likely been raised Muslim her whole life, is suddenly a Christian with no clear motivation as to why.

Dylan Hunt (flung into a future that doesn't follow his Star Trek-ian ideals) asks the crew to join him later for a discussion. The characters say they don't want to come if he's going to try to get them to join his cause. He promises them that he won't do that, but as soon as they show up, that's exactly what he does. None of the other characters call him on this lie, and in fact they all do agree to help him change the entire universe to his way of thinking by the time he's done with his mealy-mouthed speech. It helps that this is such a crapsack universe that living on the Andromeda, even piloted by an idealist on a hopeless suicidal quest, makes for a serious quality-of-life improvement for these people. Most are more convinced the captain's beliefs won't get in the way of their own interests than of the rightness of those beliefs.

Even though he spent all season getting over his dislike towards vampires, he converts to the Fellowship of the Sun (an anti-vampire church) after one of its members comes to visit him in prison and gives him a tract shortly before he's let out of jail. It helped that Jason was in a lot of emotional turmoil following the death of his girlfriend and gran, and was at a very low point (he even tells Sookie he was considering suicide because he didn't think he had anything to be proud of). He doesn't immediately convert though. He's still haunted by the death of Eddie, and he goes to a meeting and expresses his doubts that all vampires are evil. However, when Sarah Newlin (Steve Newlin's wife) tells him a sob story about her sister being killed by vampires, and plays on his guilt over failing to protect his Grandmother and girlfriend to keep him with them. He eventually snaps out of this though when he finds out the church kidnapped Sookie, and goes to rescue her.

The group in Kirkwall is composed of soldiers, and they aren't actively evangelizing at all since there is a separate caste dedicated to that. Most converts are elves, usually treated like second class citizens even by the religious authorities. It's understandable that they would see idea of joining the Qun, which promises everyone complete equality, as compelling. To put it in context, city-dwelling elves in the Dragon Age setting are treated similar to the way Jewish people were treated in Medieval Europe, except that they follow the same religion as everyone else.

A lot of that rant focused around how the rest of the cast mistreated Meg. Which makes the later episode where she decides that being mistreated and abused by the family is her purpose in life the king of the Broken Aesop. It's also subverted as Brian has personally met Jesus (he was their guest for over a week) yet is still an atheist (though that's a different trope).

He said to Hedwig (in a similar way of absolute seriousness) something like "Did you accept Jesus Christ as your savior?" - just to explain immediately that Jesus died to protect the people from God - who was so cruel that he expelled Adam and Eve from paradise for wanting knowledge about what was wrong and what was right.
