Religion
|
Traveling through Asia and you can often stumble upon christian missionaries dressed in their slacks, button down shirt and ties trying to covert Buddhists and other Asian people over to western ideology.
It is so sickeningly crass that I can't believe this insane practice still goes on. And it is usually nutty bible thumping Americans doing the proselytizing. How about Yankee christians stay at home and mind their own damn business? Quit trying to interfere with other cultures and religions. Missionaries are nothing but disgusting ethnocentrism on display. Maybe it is time buddhists send monks on a mission in America to convert all of the lost souls practicing a false religion who are doomed to hell and will never reach nirvana? |

Missionaries are terrorists, in my opinion.
Working with a credible aid agency? Fantastic. But missionaries are self serving aholes who impart their narrow view on a population, often turning people violently against each other, for the sake of their religious “teaching.” It’s pure evil. |

Oh look, the missionary-hating poster has entered the room and thought we’d all enjoy yet another spiteful thread about it.
Bonus points for Christian-bashing. Get a life, OP. |
| Christian-hating in a supposedly acceptable form. Nice try, OP. |
| It's a disgusting practice. |
| They are practicing their belief. Try to be more tolerant. |
Practicing their belief by attempting to eradicate other people’s beliefs? No. That is not worth my limited tolerance. It’s evil. |
| Their belief is indoctrinating others? Or trading food/education/basic needs for religion? Gross. |
This x1000000 If you want to practice your beliefs, privately, for yourself, I have all the respect on the world. Missionaries and proselytizing is profoundly hateful and violent to communities. |
NP. and I agree with OP and others. Most humane people agree. |

There was a missionary who attempted to reach out to a secluded indigenous people, and he was murdered by them. He was a fool.

"Humane" people don't use anonymity to spout their hatred on a mom's website. But whatever. |

What not everyone considers is that international mission trips are largely a modern, covert form of imperialism, where religion is used as a bargaining chip for aid. Disgusting. |
