Then they can try to convert people while using our tax dollars to help the needy and vulernable .
Impossible you say ??

Villagers furious with Missionaries:
Jubilant at seeing the relief trucks loaded with food, clothes and the much-needed medicines the villagers, many of who have not had a square meal in days, were shocked when the Christian aid workers asked them to CONVERT before distributing biscuits and water.

I'm not surprised.
It's right up there with the refusal to fund Family Planning Clinics!
It's better to have unwed teenage mothers than it is to put condoms in their hands or let them make a choice!

Actually, no. We'd like to keep more of our hard earned money so we can eat. If we want to give money to people who go around the world offering help to those in need, that's our own business. How they give out their goods is their business. But to work hard only to have the government take it from us...forget it.

you believe too much crap..i do not trust the news article...that is NOT the way it is done......
the missionaries most likely prayed over the food first, and said they were giving the food in the name of Jesus, before they distributed it.....
no one has to convert to anything to get food.....so where were all the hindu charities during this disaster???????
they probably did not care..and some negative hindu wrote the article because they resented the christians helping to begin with......

Does this surprise you? Same thing here in U.S. - Can't eat at the soup kitchen until you hear the sermon.
That's our tax dollars at work.

That is also the direction faith-based contributions are headed, in the US itself. If you need a helping hand from faith based groups, they expect you to convert to their religion or it's "no Soup for you!".
