The lengths that these Missionaries will go to convert people astounds me. Aren't these Emmanuel TV videos hilarious?

Hey, Lamp. Nice to see you back.:D I'm not sure I really understand your views on culture and religion. Sometimes you seem critical of certain aspects of India but I don't understand the nuances. Do you think India would be better off without Christian influence? just noticed this thread is about Nigeria so same question about Africa and India.
I've met some nice missionaries over time myself, but no doubt there are jerks out there too. Youtube generally documents the crazies of any group.
What if all Nigerians are crazy ?Quote:

I hear you. Kind of ironic I guess but as a Christian the group of people who tend to piss me off the most are preachers. I'm of the opinion that a lot of them actually turn people off to Christianity. FWIW in the days of Jesus Christ his missionaries were not supporters of evil empires but victims of them.Quote:

Say what you will about uncle Milt, but he did make one hell of a quote:

This. A few years ago I read a statistic from Barna Group that kids raised in regular church attendance are more likely to become atheists than kids raised religious without regular church attendance.Quote:

So was this just a PSA or is everyone tagged in twubbol?
No this is in response to another guyQuote:
