[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]

Agree 100000%. It is the worst form of conceit and narcissism. Missionary work rarely has anything to do with actually helping the local populations. On behalf of my fellow Americans, I apologize, as they likely never will apologize for the atrocities that they have committed. [/quote]

Absolute nonsense. Missionaries from various denominations provide education, medical care, water, and numerous other things to people in mission counties. And as for just sending money, money is the easiest thing for corrupt regimes to steal and the least likely to form bonds between people. Hands-on missionary work helping people who have nothing and are treated as disposable by their own societies is life changing, both for the giver and the receiver. [/quote]

Yup, indigenous people in Latin America were incredibly grateful for all that missionary work from the Spaniards. I mean, those that survived. Same with the indigenous of North America. And I'm sure the current LGBTQ communities in Africa - particularly Angola and Uganda - are incredibly grateful to the missionaries for their hardworking in pushing legislation to criminalize homosexuality. Missionary work is quite possibly one of the worst forms of white supremacy and colonialism in that the actors are blind to the damage that they cause, mainly because they believe that their god dictates them to do so. They do not understand how insane they are nor respect the autonomy and rights of the native communities. It is oppression and these people are 100% nuts. I wish that I could live to see the day when missionaries were banned by international agreements. What a day that would be![/quote]
