Why does pp keep saying they dont know that they recieve a box? Its clearly laid out in WHY these poor vulnerable children are even attending this event. Also because it probably has food and they are starving.

Literally these priests are training these kids like dogs. Accept food and gifts from the master, all you have to do is play nice and convert to my religion...

No food in the shoeboxes. because the gifts go to extremely remote areas, food would spoil, leak, attract mice/bugs, etc., and that’s a waste of food and money.

The gifts are sent to children who probably have never even had one gift before.

i don’t think you understand the basics of the program if you think food for starving children is the point. You further insulted the children who receive the gifts by calling them dogs. You are a bad person who is devoid of compassion and respect for anyone else in the world.

Cite for them having to convert? Oh wait, you just made that up.

Dogs dont get the biscuit if they dont behave

So poor kids excited to receive a gift are dogs? You are disgusting.

DP. You think PP's saying someone treats these kids like they are dogs means the PP is comparing them to dogs?

Theres no food at the event? So priests are just luring children to a church event? And not telling them they will get a special gift?

I compared the way this organization and their priests are treating the children. I know your religion stifles the brain cells and tries to stop individual thinking, but please, keep up.

Mission trips treating poor people like animals.

Religious people defending it by disliking the comparison to being treated as a dog master.

Religious people twisting words to fit their narrative.

Sounds about right for a thread here.

It's just like an American such as OP to frame Christianity as an American export. As a Christian from one of those Asian countries OP is performatively concerned about, my Christianity isn't for OP to decide. People deserve right to their own religious beliefs, without undue persecution, but threats against Christians there are real and ongoing. Every year hundreds of Christian missionaries are killed around the world, and thousands of believers are martyred for their faith. To quote Pope Francis, "Martyrs are more numerous in our time than in the first centuries." I'm praying for the OP.

Christians love to play the victim, even when they are victimizing others.

Pope prays for victims of bomb killed at Mass in Philippines

Pope Francis assured his prayers for the victims of a bomb attack at a Mass early Sunday morning on the southern island of Mindanao in the Philippines.

Four people were killed in the explosion, which occurred as Mass was being celebrated in the gymnasium of Mindanao State University in Marawi. Another 42 people were wounded.

Marawi, officially the Islamic City of Marawi, is within the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), currently the only Muslim-majority autonomous region in the Philippines.

The BBC reported that the police commander in the region said the Daulah Islamiyah-Maute Group might be behind the bombing, as a retaliation for 11 of its members being killed in a neighboring town on Friday in clashes with the Philippine army.

“Violence has no place in a civilized society, and it is particularly abhorrent in an institution of higher learning like MSU,” a statement from the university said.

For five months in 2017, the city of Marawi was the site of a battle between the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and Philippine government forces.

The Philippine president released a statement condemning the attack.

How a Nigerian priest used his final moments of life

LAGOS, Nigeria – For a Nigerian priest who was shot and burned to death Jan. 15 by Islamic terrorists inside his own rectory, it was hardly his first brush with violent anti-Christian persecution in Africa’s most populous nation.

Father Isaac Achi, who was murdered at 3:00 a.m. at Ss. Peter and Paul Parish in Niger State, had previously been the pastor at another parish outside the capital city of Abuja which was the site of a Christmas Day bombing in 2011, which left 44 people dead and at least 60 injured.

Nigeria massacre sees over 100 Christians dead: ‘Killed for sport’

A never-ending massacre of Christians being “killed for sport” is reportedly happening in Nigeria, yet the world appears to be largely deaf to the matter.

While much of the world this week has been celebrating a beginning – Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ – in Nigeria they are mourning the end of life – the deaths of more than 100 Christians – as the world remains virtually silent.

ADVERTISEMENT
Armed bandits ran amok, according to Amnesty International, in some 20 communities across central Nigeria, killing more than 140. In a country where accurate statistics are traditionally hard to come by, some sources have put the death toll closer to 200.

The Christians were killed in a wide swath across an invisible line that separates the mostly Muslim north and the predominately Christian south in the country’s Plateau State. According to multiple sources, Christians represent 46% of Nigeria’s population.

“There was yet another Christmas massacre of Christians in Nigeria yesterday. The world is — silent. Just unbelievable,” tweeted leading evangelist the Rev. Johnnie Moore on X, formerly Twitter.
