19. "Spreading the Gospel", the Great Commission...
usually results in missionaries that have zero respect for those they are trying to convert.
Saying that you have the only way to 'life everlasting' is an arrogant position, with evangelism holding the 'morally superior' position.

I've got in my possession an email that very clearly shows what some missionaries in India think of a fertility goddess that the local women have been worshiping. They compared the statue to a "squatty potty". :puke:

The people they are trying to convert are nothing but notches on a belt to them.
