It turns out aid workers Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer did evangelize in Afghanistan -- and they're part of an aggressive, rapidly growing Christian movement to convert Muslims around the world.

Why does Christianity, Christendom, feel the need to evangelise and "expand it's boarders"? There are enough people in America and the "Western States" that are disheartened by the Christian religion, it's followers, and it's conduct as a hole - surely their efforts should be concentrated on these people, rather than those content with their faith, and protected from Christian proseletysers by law.

I realise that Christians are told to "save" as many as they can, at least; some Christians interpret the Bible as "telling" them so, but as I say - there are more than enough people that need saving in these people's (the so-called aid workers') countries, who will be even further from being "saved" with knowledge of the blatant propagandizing going on in Afghanistan and other largely Muslim nations.

Christianity may be "Universal", at least according to the "Catholics", but that doesn't give it the right to be expansionist. The flagbearers of the Western World, these so-called aid workers - have shown themselves to be wolves in sheeps clothing, commiting no less a crime than infiltrating into the Muslim world in order to infect them with Christianity - not only against morals, but against law.

Yes. They will spread it like some sort of miserable cancer, which will in the end feast upon its Own Host, to Its Own demise. Of course if the Host is rid of the horrid Infection there is a chance of survival. I somehow think that the majority may eventually rule on that. Yet it is a doubtful propisition.
The host will probably die.

But the situations in Third world countries and Afghanastan are ideal for "conversion" it makes it a lot easier

"we have food, you're starving, all you have to do to get this food is throw away your whole belief structure and use this one instead"

It's an ideal opportunity and these people were good christians to notice the opportunity God presented them.

missionaries have always preyed on the weak
