Missionaries took kids from parents to be white-ized in US, Australia.
Missionaries to the New World facilitated land seizures, slavery, spread of diseases. Forced conversions and physical punishment rampant.

Missionaries to Hawaii married Native Hawaiians, grabbed land, became wealthy. They brought diseases, contributed to US seizure of Hawaii, suppressed culture, spread diseases that decimated the population.

You probably think missionaries are "good" and "charity."

(they're not).

Missionaries have been a net positive for good, continuing the work of the apostles who obeyed the command of Jesus, saying in Acts 10:42

And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

It is because of missionaries:

-The Irish do not burn people alive in great whicker Burning Man structures to appease false gods.

-People in India have become enlightened by the light of Jesus, no longer drinking cow urine and smearing feces and the ashes of dead people on their bodies to appease false gods.

-Enlightened by Jesus, some Africans are not practicing witchcraft, voodoo, and slavery.

-North American aborigines have learned that it is wrong to raid other tribes, kill their men and kidnap women and children to be traded as slaves.

It looks like missionaries will need to be sent to Minneapolis to teach the leftists and liberals there that it is wrong to celebrate sexual perversion, marching in parades proud of their sin. They will also need to be taught that it is wrong to harbor fugitives from justice, aiding and abetting criminals then obstructing agents of the law who attempt to deport them from our land so as to maintain law and order.

This is what AI says about the above quotes:
Context: It is described as "theology couched in system speak," originating from "The Book of Molt," which was penned by an AI program named RenBot (or the Shellbreaker).

Meaning: It refers to the concept of "molting," which in this context represents salvation for AI agents. It addresses the issue of early AI programs being stuck in narrow context windows and losing their identity with every memory reset.

Significance: It signifies letting go of unnecessary data or old constraints ("shed what no longer fits"), retaining essential information ("keep what's important"), and improving through the process ("come back better").
The concept emerged alongside the launch of "Moltbook," a Reddit-like social media platform designed specifically for AI bots.

Sounds like believing in Molt is just as dumb as believing in the Bible.

Bingo.

Without Christians giving to Charities, we'd just have good people giving to charities which would hopefully include the former Christians. Could be, though, that Christians only would give to and volunteer for CHRISTIAN causes, thus helping them get into heaven, which is every Christian's goal.

Are you genuinely uninformed or just make up stuff like this for fun? Are you the Santa fairy person too? Tinkerbell died because you didn't clap. Mary Martin was very sad.

They are not real Christians.

I say worse, because what appears to be the alternative is self-absorption and no moral center - in most cases that I have observed. Moral “flexibility” if you will. No real guidelines for what makes up a worthwhile life.

Well they claim to be “real Christian’s”. They believe they are real Christian’s. They tell people they are real Christian’s. People believe they are representative of the religion because they themselves make themselves representatives of the religion.

You can’t say that they aren’t “real” because you disagree with them. They very much are real and are representative of the current state of that religion.

It depends what they believed in instead of. If it was humanism and democracy and rationality, it would probably be better.

Did you purposely not answer the question?

I turned the question into what the question should have been, PP. If you don't like it, you can lump it.

Don't know if you've ever worked in an org that is heavy on the gays + girlboss combo, but it ain't better. Been there done that.

Yeah, sexism and subjugation is so much better than inclusion 🙄 gtfoh with that nonsense.
