Heres some food for thought - evangelist 'charities' in the USA earn millions each year from merchandising - thus to become more powerfull, it is in their interest to promote more right-wing forms of religion that involve spending more, and to increase markets overseas by converting people.
To this end, they try to push things like creation into education, and they go to ancient countries like India and Sri Lanka, which have sophisticated belief systems of their own, and capitalise on the poverty created by European exploitation, setting up schools where it is required to convert to Christianity to attend - education is a life and death matter in poor area, making this no better that capitalising on a plague to convert people. It is of course made clear to these poor converts that they will be tortured for eternity by god if they acknolwedge any Hindu or Buddhist belief, and that those religions are 'barbaric'.
What happens when religions like Christianity and Islam, which basically promote this same kind of mentality collide? They turn to warfare, just like a fleet of Ori ships invading the galaxy.
Im not sure if this thread will be locked, but I invite you to share your views - being from one of the countries I mentioned, I am very interested to hear the opinions of Americans especially - the nation which is essentially evangelist HQ.
