Practicing their belief by attempting to eradicate other people’s beliefs?

No. That is not worth my limited tolerance. It’s evil.

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.

Why? Are these communities so fragile that they can’t stand a visit from Christians? What are you so afraid of?

They purposely go to fragile communities to preach. You don’t see missionaries going to wealthy Hindu or Buddhist neighborhoods to save lives. Are their souls not worthy or is it because the poor are easier to control?

So what? Again, what are you so afraid of? That people will hear and accept the truth and turn from your level of hatred?

Exploiting vulnerable people is generally frowned upon.

What country was this?

Disgusting. Proselytizing should be outlawed. At least with vulnerable people.

The United Nations believes that changing religion is a human right.

Article 18. Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

How many times have you posted the same words or a variant on “disgusting,” “crass,” or “vile” on this short thread? You sound like a sock puppet.

You can change your own religion. You don't have any right to change someone else's.

Stay in your lane and stop trying to force your beliefs on others, especially vulnerable people.

That was my first post on this thread.

But I'll say it again and again. Proselytizing vulnerable people is unethical. Truly disgusting.

People do not need to keep the religion they are born into. They have human rights to talk about and learn about other religious beliefs outside of those they were born into.

I don’t know why freedom to learn about another religion is considered crass, but anyone who supports freedom and self-determination as a human right (as the UN does) is not crass.

You can change your own religion, but you can't change others.

Foisting your religion on others - especially vulnerable people - is unethical.

Mind your own culture/beliefs.

It is. That’s why Christians do not proselytize.

Where have you personally witnessed proselytizing by any religious group?

You are closed minded and insular. You don’t make decisions for anyone but yourself. You are proudly against basic human rights, weird.

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.

These mission trips many times supply the only womens wellness care that women ever receive in their lives.

Generally there are very long lines to be treated by the missionaries. No one local bothers to treat the women.

Mission trips by student nurses often are the only obgyn care some women and their newborn babies receive.

It sounds very scary, but one or few actual doctors will supervise student nurses as they deliver babies in countries with almost no (read:none!) medical care for vulnerable pregnant women and their babies. The women are grateful and thankful for these people.

You’re the hateful one. And people are afraid of your hatred and aggression.

They are correct.
