Re: Finding out people you like are scumbags
My grandmother buys Gideon Bibles in all of our names as Christmas presents. Besides the fact that I think it's tacky to give charitable gifts in people's names if they are not charities the giftee supports, I've seen what a college campus looks like after the Gideons have hit it (Bibles in every trashcan, on the floor in every classroom and bathroom). It's such a waste of money. I have much less of a problem with mission work that incorporates meeting the physical needs of people: obtaining access to clean water, healthcare etc.
I was raised Evangelical Protestant and a great majority of the mission work coming out of that tradition focuses on going to other countries and trying to convert people who are already Christian (Catholic) to "real" Christianity, which I find ignorant and deeply annoying.
I also think a lot of mission work tends to have unfortunate colonial and paternalistic overtones.
Mission work was also a kind of approved vacation or way to go abroad for people who otherwise wouldn't have that chance in the church I grew up in. You couldn't go to Cozumel on spring break, but going to Mexico for mission work was acceptable.
I am not anti-religion; I think faith is a valuable part of many people's lives. But mission work makes me deeply uncomfortable.
