[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the contrary, I see mission work as having accomplished a lot good.
Missionaries have translated the bible to indigenous languages, therefore being the first to provide them with a written language.
The new faith doesn't require sacrifices of food to a god, burning of widows, sets people free from a fear of the witches and superstitions.
Has no concept of caste, the idea that your misfortune is earned because you lived a bad life previously.

There is a lot in the traditional beliefs that people need to let go off so that they can adjust to the current century and catch up with the modern world.

So making them believe that they and all humans are depraved and sinful and that a human godman had to be tortured and sacrificed because they are so corrupted is better?

That if they don't believe in this story then they will forever burn in a fire of hell with a red man that has a pointy tail.  And that if their whole family doesn't get on their knees and praise Jesus, then they will have to forever know that they are burning in hell while only the saved sit up in the clouds with all they other now dead people that believed in this story.  And that there is a man in the clouds behind all this that needs praise and devotion and requires that you get as many people as possible to believe the same thing from continent to continent or else you're better off with the devil.

I agree with your last sentence though. The sooner missionaries catch up with the current century, the better.

How many times have you been told on this thread that missionaries don’t threaten people with hell anymore. Most Christians don’t even believe that. It’s almost like you read what you want and ignore anything that doesn’t comport with your bigotry. [/quote]

MANY Christians here in the US do believe that and do force that on others. Right here.
