[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I am from South East Asia and was born into one of the eastern religions. It absolutely enrages me to see western Christians come to third-world countries to convert us, trying to destroy our local practices, languages because they think they know better than us. The absolute disdain they have towards us brown people is disgusting. I think they should just be banned by all governments. Want to do humanitarian work - enroll with non-religious AID organizations. Keep your bible and your prejudice to yourself.[/quote]

Most people who agree to get "converted" in this way merely graft their existing religions and beliefs onto Christianity, and take the food, the dental care etc, but go ahead and believe what they want.  For all the money they spend, I don't think the missionaries are very successful.[/quote]

Many missionaries, particularly in the current age, make no effort to make converts beyond their own example of a life well lived. In one major Asian country, for example, all the “best” schools are Christian. They are in high demand. Students of the predominant (pagan) religion come and are educated. Most of them stay the religion they were. But their lives are changed for the better, and they in turn better the society.  [/quote]

The best schools are Christian because there is so much meddling of the church and state (and concomittantly $$$). Some Koreans I know see this as a profound problem and wish for more separation of their government and church, so "their lives and society are changed for the better" is just your opinion. [/quote]
