I want to become a missionary!

[Splam]

Yeah, as the topic says. Is there anyway the church can send me to the tropics somewhere where aboriginals live on islands and where they don't believe in god, and like my job would be to teach them about the bible and teach them democracy. I'd really like such a job, anyway I can get one?

I think you'll be promoting more of a theocracy than a democracy.

Yes but christians don't care. Their bible is 100% true and so it gives them the right to force their beliefs on the uneducated 'lesser souls.' The natives don't know better because they are ignorant, therefore christianity must educate them as part of its social responsibility.

Ironically, christians themselves are very ignorant even in the ways of their religion- their bible is disproven by science, and disproven by itself. So you see, our social responsibility is to educate you in the error of your ways.

But not in the same way. As far as belief is concerned, only a prick would ever force you to believe something. Er wait...christians do that...so like I said.

Believe what you like but keep it the hell out of school. School is for truth only.

Forced to believe in something? How about the indoctrination in the public school system hmmm? (i know there was a huge thread on this, im just giving an example, not trying to start that agrument again)

"I wanna become a missionary" = "I wanna commit suicide"

Couldn't you just be a pizza delivery boy and give people something they actually want?

EDIT: plus you'll get tipped with cash, not shrunken heads.

This is hardly the right place for asking that kind of question if that is earnestly what you are seeking, you should ask a missionary.

Go to Afghanistan. They'll martyr you faster than your ass can say 'Praise you Jesus!'.

This guy is right. Destroying indigenous cultures is cool!

I cant say where the best place to go would be but you might want to try talking to your pastor. but it is a very good idea. good luck!
