It has been said on this thread, but I don’t have the interest to go through 30 pages to dig it out.

Again, you keep talking about “pushing religion” but you can’t say what that means. As others have told you (including a Muslim a while back on this thread), [b]modelling their religion’s values is the way most go about it these days. And maybe there’s a cross or crescent on the wall, or a Bible or Quran lying on a table. [/b]

Take another sip of carmenere (my personal favorite, although I’ve been holding back because it’s not well recognized or easy to find around here), roll up the sleeves of your spa robe with the microfiber lining, and tell us why this is so objectionable to you. And while you’re at it, explain why you think poor people are incapable of making their own choices so this type of aid should be banned.[/quote]

PP who worked in Haiti here. This is what I saw. The health clinic in the small town where I worked was on the bottom floor of a priest’s house (the church was a few blocks away). There was a cross on the wall and that was it. Healthcare was very professional—people came in, got diagnosed and treated, and were sent on their way. No proselytizing except they had to look at that cross on the wall or avert their eyes. The Haitian government had zero presence, so thank goodness for these religious workers.

Some of you are so separated from reality, and are coming at this from 10,000 feet, and your outrage looks a little ridiculous. [/quote]

You are really trying to say that one clinic is representative of all mission work in Haiti? You don't think there is any proselytizing?

A woman who "accepted God" after the earthquake: [i]"The chaplains told me there was no need to worry and asked if I believed in God."[/i]

Watch the whole thing. Near the end, a volunteer shares what they tell people. You don't think that's proselytizing?

I clicked on the link… and saw a kid who sought out a church group after he had tried 19 voodoo priests?[/quote]

Oops - wrong link. Here you go:
