[quote=Anonymous][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.

"The accuser" in the Bible was, in Hebrew language, "Satan."  The spirit of accusation is Satanic.  And blasphemy against the holy spirit is the ONLY unforgivable sin.

You are confusing proselytizing, the traditional door to door activity in the  US with what is actual mission work in a third world country.
Like the former Mormon missionary. 
Mormon church is only interested in converting people who are wealthy enough to tithe
Religion is mostly business.
An outreach is kind of like inviting new people to your place of worship to keep the business going

Actual mission work in a 3rd world country is wildly different[/quote]

The disgusting part is thinking that your beliefs and ways are inherently better than traditional beliefs and ways. Forcing yourself on them is somehow ok because they are poor.

So vile.
