Oh I get to drop my Ivan Illich
Eh, I assume people are getting a better bang for the buck in the third world.
they're rapists enjoying a summer of poverty tourisim, missionaries can head fuck a knife
I get that they suck, but if they are going to feed the poor and build houses might as well do it where their money will buy more food and houses.
except its a draw to all the wrong sort of people, the self righteous so sure in the infallibility of their beliefs that they pay no mind to cultures they erase. also, THE CHILD RAPISTS.
Also, from what little I've read about these types of "missions," they leave behind substandard infrastructure that lasts for fuck all an is impossible to maintain because it's built by teenagers/lay people who don't know what the fuck they're doing.
“Satan’s last stronghold” yeah I don’t feel bad for this POS
Like his son, Dr Patrick Chau is a graduate of Oral Roberts, an evangelical university in Oklahoma. I had thought he might want to defend evangelical doctrines against the unsympathetic media coverage sparked by his son’s death. In an email, however, he called religion “the opium of the mass[es]”.
Ah, this guy suffered from "cool marxist parent" syndrome
Oh lord, why didn't you give me a sign
LORD: "THERE WERE SIGNS BOTH LITERAL AND FIGURATIVE"

Wow google.
“[W]hen I was a little kid,” he recalled in 2015, “my family went camping”; during “that time of my life, I had a habit of eating wild things not meant for humans to eat, like bright red or stark white berries”. Consequently he “destroyed several sleeping bags that night. My family stopped going on camping trips after that.”
like ripped them up in a berry induced psychotic break or shidded in them?
yes.
this specific confluence of violence and shidding, brought on by ingesting the most delectible of wild treats, is known as a berry induced pshidchotic break
This just sounds like a more radical version of those extremely online christians who spend all day starting shit with atheists.
A mission trip to Mexico during high school was particularly formative. When he returned, he gave a short homily on his experiences. “We can’t be lukewarm,” he argued, shifting nervously but speaking with conviction. “We need to know how to defend our faith.”
“When we go out in our world, there are people that’ll just come and oppose us, and they’ll have questions, and they’ll have arguments … We can’t just, like, go out there unprepared. We need to know what we believe and why we believe it.”
We can’t just, like, go out there unprepared.
Alternatively, you could stay right where you are and mind your own fucking business, nobody wants to hear you spout your insipid nonsense. I'm sure a radical Christian would look at the state of the US and see plenty of things to fix right there at home, though to these people those things would mostly include gender neutral bathrooms and an insufficient amount of mandated prayer in schools
I hope the fishermen don't face any consequences.
It's self defense. The islanders aren't immune to all our diseases. In the 1800's the british attempted to make contact and kidnapped some old people and children since everyone else fled. The old people became sick and died, and then the children started getting sick and were returned to the island with gifts. It's little wonder why they don't like outsiders.
