The pope is not a Nazi… I have no idea what you’re talking about.
He grew up in Nazi Germany and was part of the Hitler Youth movement

Did you read my posts in this thread stating how it is monotheistic?

Originally posted by peacejet The point of discussion is very simple, if you are interested then go ahead and convert, no objections, but dont force people to convert. Dont force hindus to convert to christianity, and dont use violence to achieve that. Thats all.

If evangelists were really concerned about "saving souls", why not try and "reclaim" lapsed Christians. e.g. Only 30% of people regularly go to church on Sunday/ describe themselves as Christian in the UK. Why not target those instead of the poor in other countries?

I think the reason is- it is considerably easier to convert someone who is in dire poverty. This isn't about preaching or saving so much as it is about cultural and religious expansionism.

Interesting....
In what relation is that with "Do unto others as you would have them do to you" ?

So 2.3% who are being persecuted are actually persecuting the billion plus minority? I know many here will think it's ok because they're just stupid Christians but stop and think about it.

Isn't there an element of preying upon the poor though?

I mean its admirable that some of the missionaries are doing charity work, but the ulterior motive is always "more souls for Christ".

A rich man rejects any external solicitation over religion because he will only convert when he truly wants to. A poor man will convert out of a sense of thankfulness and perhaps obligation.
