American evangelicals: are you thankful you weren't born in India, Thailand or Indonesia?

Question

because if you had been, you would almost certainly been Hindu, Buddhist or Muslim, respectively.

and since missionaries have been well-nigh ineffectual in those countries, you would have died without knowing Jesus as your personal shopper.

west: i'm an atheist, dude. chill out on the anti-semitism. you sound like a nazi!

Answer 1

Why dont you just pretend to be part of the local religion and sneak Jesus into the practices as you get locals to join up, you know, using the deceptive techniques you are pulling in the US and Europe with messianic "judaism"?

Answer 2

I'm a Thai and a Buddhist, although I'm not religious.

Back at Kasetsart University (Bangkhem Campus in the north part of Bangkok, Thailand) during my freshman year as a Biology major, I actually met quite a few Campus Outreach and Campus Crusade volunteers, all of whom are Americans, mostly from the South/Midwest. Most of them were nice, although a argued with one volunteer for an hour or so when he saw my evolution worksheet from freshman biology class, probably because I was one of the few students who spoke English well enough to do so. We stayed on the academic ground and did not raise any temper.

One not-so-memorable encounter with an American missionary at another university near where I live and hangout (on the East side of town...I commuted to my Uni.) She was preaching (with a Thai interpreter) about Jesus being a "great mystery" so I asked her a few questions

"Am I going to hell?"

"Yes"

"What about Lord Allah? I was told that Lords Jahovah and Allah are the same being"

"Oh, that's not real."

(Not a very nice thing to say, was it? If I had translated it into Thai, I wonder what could have been.. All Thais have been taught in elementary school that "Every religion teaches people to be good". Thai people are tolerant, but in every culture there's a line between being respectful and otherwise.)
