Mayflower Compact (written by my direct ancestor):

"IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN. We, whose names are underwritten, . . . by the Grace of God. . . Having undertaken FOR THE GLORY OF GOD, AND ADVANCEMENT OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH, and the Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage TO PLANT THE FIRST COLONY IN THE NORTHERN PARTS OF VIRGINIA."

Virginia Constitution - Article 1, Section 16:

"[I]t is the mutual DUTY OF ALL TO PRACTICE CHRISTIAN FORBEARANCE, LOVE, AND CHARITY towards each other."

No one is forcing you change your beliefs. Just your actions.

Stop proselytizing to vulnerable people and exploiting their hardships for your gain.

- mayflower descendant

People in America ARE pushing anti-christian, anti-biblical beliefs on others. Don't gaslight me.

I’m against proselytizing. But you have to admit, DCUM’s hateful anti-religion proselytizers are just as bad.

True- I’m sure all the people spewing hate towards missionaries for not respecting traditional cultures are absolutely fine with the organizations that go to these cultures to promote/push family planning.

You have something against family planning?

I have something against hypocrites that criticize Christians missionaries for disrespecting local culture’s while praising others for doing the same when it aligns with their values.

What? Proselytization by Christian missionaries has resulted in the death of millions over the course of the past few centuries. That is not an exaggeration. It has also resulted in laws which punish homosexuality by death. It has torn apart communities, separated families, imposed foreign rule and white dominance.

DCUM meanwhile is typing feverishly on a website. Hurting your feelings, I guess?

Yup, just as bad.

I think you're against family planning. Thank goodness there are organizations that will provide these urgently needed services. And no sermon about Jesus gets rammed down their throats at the same time.

I promise you that most missionaries believe just as strongly that these people are urgently in need of god as you believe they are in need of having the benefits of family planning rammed down their throat.

Lots of groups killed lots of people thousands of years ago, and hundreds of years ago. This wins as the most stupid argument ever, thanks

Yeah, that's the whole problem.

Um.. when you say "god," which god? Is it your god that you're going to ram down their throats? Seems like Religious imperialism to me. Why not respect their local cultures and traditions?

Why not respect their traditions that promote having large families?

You avoided answering the question, but o.k. I don't think many women of the world would agree with having large families if they had a choice, and the demand for family planning is great and is welcomed in many countries (and these services are only available in places where they are welcomed). Ramming your god down their throats is not needed and is, in fact, disrespectful and completely not needed. See the difference?

Now answer my question: why do you think the people in these counties are "urgently in need of god," (to use your exact words)?
