The people who kill missionaries deserve the most violent of deaths. Why can’t we just bomb these people?
Removed, advocating violence.
I must have missed the part where Jesus advocated genocide.
I guess when he said “suffer little children” he meant drop bombs on them.
Supply side Jesus recommends carpet bombings. Get with the times!
We often do
Lots of wars are started over killing of missionaries
This is terrible but I don’t understand why these missionaries go to violent war zones or areas in a state of anarchy.
Same reason missionaries went to dangerous places in past centuries, I imagine. There are people in need to convert, and the risks aren’t all that meaningful if you honestly believe in your message. What’s the worst someone can do, kill you? You’re in heaven then. It’s life that’s the difficult and painful period to get through, not what comes afterwards.
There is something extremely depressing about that. Knowing that their beliefs aren’t real, it is incredibly sad to see two people in their early 20’s die for what they believe in. Their one and only life is over because they couldn’t mind their own business. There is no heaven, there is no reward. They spread a fairy tale and got murdered, that’s the summary of their existence.
They go to those places because the poor and downtrodden tend to have a higher propensity to want to believe in something that will improve their life. It’s the best place to get converts
The real question here is why American missionaries did it in a country, Haiti, that’s over 93% Christian. The U.S. is only 63% Christian.
Because people in the US aren’t as desperate and likely to believe in some whacky religious stories.
Because Haiti is mostly Black and therefore can’t be Christian. It must be full of heathens.
To shove the bible down people’s throats, which they insist resolves all earthly issues.
Vulnerable people are easy to recruit.
Missionaries are colonizers, let them die
