Missionaries are a pox
I think that is one of the worst part of christianity. They destroy cultures and lives for their own glorification.
My wife's family knows some missionaries and I am not well liked when the issue of them comes up. My wife has requested I keep my mouth shut but I can only for so long.
I die a little inside every time I hear about a church group that goes to Africa and is so proud because they helped the poor people by building a church and bringing them to jesus.
Fuck that. Build a clean water supply. Provide them with modern ovens that don't require charcoal. Build a medical clinic. But fuck you and your church.
Sorry about the language. The whole thing gets me a bit worked up.

Any desire to dispute what I say?
Yeah I guess not. Maybe some one else has balls.

You willing to dispute this?

Re: Buzsaw Position: Jehovah vs Allah
I'm not alone among evangelicals insisting that the two gods are not one and the same. As per a link cited in the link in your OP, Ergan Caner, president of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary agrees with my position. I'm sure there are others
Are you really sure you want to use this guy and anything he has to say?
quote:
Ergun Caner's rise to the top of conservative evangelical celebrity -- and to the presidency of the Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell -- was fueled by how aggressively he capitalized on the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, to portray himself as a personal example of the power of Jesus to save even someone raised as a jihadist, which he claimed to be.
There's only one problem with that part of Caner's story: it appears not to be true.
Source
I have been following Caner for a while now. There have been questions for more than a couple years about the truth behind his amazing stories. They all have turned out to be lies. What is Liberty University doing about it? Attacking those that are bringing the truth forward.
