The missionaries didn't force anyone to defy the will of the Taliban. Nor did they convert anyone against their free will. I wasn't there...so I don't know how much danger they put these people in, but it seemed like risky business to me. I do know that the folks that had to rescue them were not under the same "free will" to which you refer. If they go back in, they should be left to whatever destiny finds them. I think you have a problem with Christians trying to convert people, that somehow it's a form of mind control. God's teachings are beautiful, spiritual doctrines. It's organized/humanized religion that I find objectionable....a human plague really. However, I would not make any effort to to convert you away from it anymore than I would allow you to try to convert me to one. Al
