[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What started out as a claim that “missionaries killed millions” has turned into a claim that “missionaries killed millions because they arrived along with the East India Company and Churchill.” And the claim has been further extended to such stretches as “Churchill was a missionary.”

DCUM, you never fail to disappoint.

The missionaries weren’t there to make their fortunes from land or copper—that’s pretty much antithetical to their religion.

And you can blow a lot of smoke about how missionaries were the only reason the imperialists knew where natural resources were located. But that doesn’t stand up to history (Columbus was looking for a passage to India, [b]not to convert souls[/b], just for starters) let alone common sense. [/quote]

Oh come on. I learned in elementary school that he made natives convert to christianity.

I'm the PP who wrote the thing about Churchill and missionary work and I was just responding to the PP ahead of me, not trying to say that missionaries killed millions. [/quote]
