Christian missionaries stir unease in north Africa | FaithWorld

So, why do Christian missionaries preach in Muslim countries, again?

The violation happens the moment a missionary steps on your land. They have ALREADY taken it upon themselves to destroy you and your communities right to self determine: if they didn't, what are they doing on your property without your permission, trying to get you to read a book or listen to...

I understand that it is usually well intentioned. But intent is not enough.

You can never take back the -choice- a missionary makes to come on your land and attempt to infiltrate your culture. You can never take back the -choice- a missionary makes to expose your community and your children to their belief system. Going to another culture, bringing a bible, and...

From a hearing person, no less... I do think she needs a hearing test, though. She doesn't seem to be able to hear the frequencies that house the words "check that privilege". Must be something wrong? :hmm:

She'll be dead and wont have to own up to supporting the destruction of real people's lives, real cultures, and real identities.

People don't need you to save them. People don't need you to "guide" them in their determination of faith. People do not -need your standards- even if you are under the particularly strong delusion that everyone in the world must believe the same things you do to be "saved". Views like yours...

You have to be trolling. I refuse to believe that you are not trolling at this point. :shock:

This. So much this. Being a member of any minority group does not obligate you to be its spokesperson, and being a member of many majority groups does not give you the right to treat other people as learning opportunities.

But even that has to be done with considerable thought as to the potential impact of teaching a group you do not belong to skills they do not have. You are changing a way of life, even in a small way, and that can never be taken lightly- which is why some indigenous rights groups hold the...

Do you have an articulate reason for why you do not like it?

See the word "not", forget about notions of a creator for just a minute, and think REALLY REALLY REALLY hard for me. What could "not intended" mean? Could it mean without intent? :laugh2:

See the word "not" before "intended". It may provide some clarification on the issue. :popcorn:

That is false. All diabetics are disqualified UNLESS they have a diabetes complication which stops them from working (ESRD, severe neuropathy, whatever) OR have extremely uncontrolled diabetes (hypoglycemic seizures, frequent hospitalizations in ketosis, whatever). Diabetes itself does not...

I don't understand?! You're not making any sense. You never make ANY sense, jillio. :laugh2:

But where in The Holy Bible does it say that?

Don't get me started on half of that. Someone without medical clearance can work as a DoD civilian doing the exact same career they'd have done in the military, but they don't get the choice to join the military or the advantages therein. With so many contractors and DoD civilians basically...

Not really. MANY DQ conditions are utter garbage. Requiring prescription eyedrops can DQ you. Having your last asthma attack at 13 instead of 12 DQs you. A headache that once required prescription meds can DQ you. People lie about everything from past hospitalizations, to past mental...

By "without punishment" I mean "without losing a job offer you would have otherwise had." See: how well you can lie. People study up for their tests even though you're not supposed to, lie their tails off on the physical questions, etc. I don't know when you knew someone going into the...
