Well that’s the problem, it’s the church’s believe to be missionary, not this person or that person. It’s the religion’s belief. If you get down to brass tacks with these nice people almost all of them believe that being missionaries is a good thing.
My belief is missionaries are a bad, despicable thing. For a multitude of reasons. I’m nice about it mind you, but almost every Christian I’ve talked to has vehemently disagreed with me and is surprised about the discussion. Mostly because they haven’t thought about it deeply before, just accepted.
And for the record the nicest, most agreeable, easiest parts of my day are the pleasant Christians. When you know how someone reacts and their values in general, they are easy to get along with in most cases.
