Whuff!

Well, now. THAT was a bit contentious! <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I think we all could have something to offer another culture - even if it's just a picture of who we are and how we are different.

I will admit that I'm uncomfortable about the idea of making a trip to the hinterlands to "educate" the indigenes on the proper way to worship.

If more people would channel their missionary zeal into efforts to assist peoples in bettering their physical existence, perhaps the religious issues could then resolve themselves.

To me, Christianity isn't about converting others to my ways of thinking - it's about helping others get their lives to the point where they have the time and the information to sit and think for themselves about their relationship with a higher power.

And this has now gone WAY off track.

Just one piece of advice - don't go down there and fart in their church. They are as fervent about their relationship with their God as you are about yours. And remember, you are both right.
