The 1.6% Solution

1.6% of the North American population says Christian Missionaries should not interfere with the beliefs of other cultures.

They would rather missionaries hadn’t interfered with an Amazon tribe that practised infanticide.

They would rather missionaries hadn’t interfered with widows being burned to death along side their already deceased husbands in India.

They would rather missionaries hadn’t interfered with infants being sacrificed in the Ganges.

They would rather missionaries hadn’t interfered with the burning of lepers.

They would rather missionaries hadn’t interfered with child marriage.

All of these were stopped because of Christian interference and it angers atheists something awful.

This 1.6% of the population has no basis from which to say any of these behaviours were or are wrong. In fact, as long as the suffering is happening to someone else, and doesn’t threaten to enter the atheist’s home, the people in this population don’t much care what happens to anyone else. This is what they’re like. This is how they think.

  2. So you ARE in favour of missionaries going to other counties and trying to change cultures. That is so encouraging. Pfft! You clowns invent morality.

    "Missionaries are evil."

    "No wait! Missionaries are good."

    You just make it up as you go.

    Dull of mind - slow of thought.

  3. Oh, fuck you.

    This is the equivalent of writing a post saying:
    Christians love to rape children.
    Everytime another priest rapes a child they cheer!
    This is how they think.
    They wish they could restart the crusades.
    This is what they are like.

  4. Ah - so only a few atheists hate it when Christians work to bring about cultural change. A majority of atheists are actually in favour of Christians fighting against what they believe is wrong. Did I mention that lying comes naturally to atheists?

  6. So, do you or do you not believe it's good for Christian missionaries to work at changing non Christian cultures?

    I ask because I gotta tell ya, I was under the impression that atheists believe that cultures themselves or even indiviuals were what determined right and wrong, good and bad. Guess I was wrong.

    I don't see how you could detect lies, you are not even able to accurately describe the positions of those you claim to be "Dull of mind - slow of thought".

    So, do you or do you not believe it's good for Christian missionaries to work at changing non Christian cultures?

    Yes it's good, why?

    I think the religious aspect is a waste of money and time but it does not bother me at all. Missionaries want to do good, and they do, I understand that.

    What I discuss with you are ideas, beliefs, opinions. Missionaries' belief in god is no less, or no more true because of what they do.

  8. "you clowns invent morality"

    I can't wait to respond to this. Though it will be a day or two, I'll be busy. I've been waiting for you to bring up the moral argument. In the meantime, let me ask you a question...
    Can you scientifically show that your morals come from god?

    ... and some other post around that date, when morality had come up.
    If I recall correctly, the discussion ended by Rod telling me that he could not say if he supported 2 simple moral principles I adhere to without insulting me. No idea why since he is always insulting Atheists....
