Plus the fact some missionaries deserve to be beheaded ...

i have myself seen missionaries telling poor ppl in South India - yelling from the top of a truck - "if you come to our church on sunday - we will gie you blankets and food" - this to a group of poor women and children with out stretched arms begging for food ...

indian express (the newspaper even once did an expose' on such practices) - it is not any different from politicians buying votes by gifting poor ppl liquor before election day.... end rant ...

death to the missionaries!! :evil:

seriously - the concept of devoting one's life to helping others is so beyond most people, including myself, that we cannot comprehend it. bashing it is probably the most primitive way of showing this fact.

you were saying?

Yes I was in person ... I am not against missionaries ... what i wrote was : "some" - not all missionaries are true to their faith ... i have in fact and my family have joined many missionary missions on one-day events ... but i was merely pointing that when i hear a news that someone kidnapped a missionary - i also know why the locals retaliate by that way ...

And I have known people who have lost missionary family members who died trying to help others without strings. So get some Head and Shoulders and flake off.
