"Well, you shouldn't expect people to act against their own beliefs."

Unfortunately their beliefs are getting in the way of real help. I do NOT expect people to act against their beliefs- hence my argument that you get a quid pro prayer when the religious are involved. I'm the one who said that. I guess you are helping me with my argument? I'm the one who thinks you get the baggage with the buck with religious aid, and I'm the one who thinks there is something wrong with that. You would be the one with some other kind of opinion.

And this:

"And missionaries haven't always been purely destructive to native cultures. Many times they've helped them adapt and have been a force working for their defence. "

Oh please
Native cultures are destroyed by missionaries- that is after all the GOAL- to replace native religions. What else are they there for? Nada zip zilch
