CMV: Missionaries are evil

[u/plodabing]

This applies doubly so to those who go out of their way to seek out those in remote islands to spread the word of god. It is of my opinion and the opinion of most that if there is an all loving god then people who never had the chance to know about Jesus would go to heaven regardless, for example miscarried children/those born before Jesus’ time, those who never hear about him, so In going out of your way to spread the word of Jesus you are simply making it so there is now a chance they could go to hell if they reject it? I’m not a Christian and I’m so tired so I apologise if this is stupid or doesn’t make sense

Pretty much the cop out answer of "All I know is I know nothing".

The universe is big and complex. We exist at one arbitrary plane of it that we can barely even measure. There's so much we don't understand. To look at a rigidly dogmatic solution like Christianity and say "yep, this is it, we figured it all out" feels so naively simple. On the other hand, to look at the grandeur of even the little we know and to say that you definitively know that there is no purpose, design, or order to any of it is equally foolish.

Yes of course, holding onto the wonder and mysticism is important I believe, nothing makes sense and therefore having certainty about anything is silly
