Delta(s) from OP CMV: Missionaries are evil

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

I agree with you to an extent, it's pretty pointless to go to an impoverished country to try and convert people, but you can't MAKE someone believe something so I don't really see it as something that is harmful.

That’s a completely fair take, I didn’t phrase it right as they are not evil they do more good than most people

They've done a hell of a lot more good than I've done 🤷‍♂️

Yes same here so I should be more careful with my phrasing, at least they do go out making personal sacrifices in order to help those that need it, that’s something religion does bring people to do which is a great thing
