<b>Christians seek guidelines to spread faith </b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->[right][snapback]63712[/snapback][/right]<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->This is their '3 steps forward two steps back' method: when they have gone so far that they have become noticeable in their always invariably destructive ways, they regroup to check themselves, and try to come up with means of conversion that are different and other people won't catch onto immediately.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Christians are told to make disciples of all nations, but some missionaries have done this so aggressively in recent years that churches now want a code of conduct to spread their faith without antagonising any others.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Too late.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Representatives from the main families of the world's largest faith met in Geneva last week to discuss guidelines to curb aggressive evangelists and reassure other religions that Christian activists are not simply out to steal their sheep.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->No, their typically loud and obnoxious behaviour so far was in a way a good thing for us 'unsaved', 'heathen', 'animistic' folks. At least we know what low depths they will go to - the same they have always gone for. It's made some sit up and notice and see what christianity really is like.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->A missionary boom in developing countries, often by United States evangelical and Pentecostal Protestants, has brought Christianity into some local conflicts with majority populations that follow faiths such as Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->So, they've noticed have they? Of course they have, they've sponsored it, went actively looking for the antagonism: teaching their converts to burn up Korean temples, break down their own Hindu vigrahas, and do similar things in Sri Lanka. Then they presented it as the poor persecuted christians, who for some inexplicable reason became unpopular and had the local mobs after them. Proving one's hatred for one's former non-christian religion is a right-of-passage to becoming a christian (or a muslim too in several cases).
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Overzealous preachers stand accused of linking humanitarian aid with baptism and insulting local faiths. Some local Christian minorities, who lived in peace before the boom, now feel a backlash as suspicion mounts against all Christians.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->When did local christian minorities live in peace?
Oh yeah, when they lost help from their colonising master-friends. When the christo Portuguese colonials left (end of secular enforcing arm of church in India and other Asian countries). When there was no more big brother to fight their battles for them, the christians kept a low profile until now when the missionary west has made a come back with the big bucks business of evangelisation.

Only christianity has 'sheep', not the cuddly kind that goes baa either. Christianity, like islam, is aggressive by nature. During this meeting, why don't they take out the aggressive side of chrisitanity instead (not possible, unless they toss the bible - hey, there's an idea!)
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->"Due to increased proselytism in some parts of the Christian family, the fibre of living together is jeopardised," said the Rev. Hans Ucko, a Swedish Lutheran in charge of inter religious dialogue at the Geneva-based World Council of Churches (WCC).<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->All parts of the infighting christian 'family' are working on their own particular plans of mass proselytisation. The baptist and other evangelical churches are still working on the crude means that the catholic church used until 50 years ago (50s Vietnam). The catholic church, in line with its new and 'improved' image (keyword being image, in reality this church is the same as they've always been) is not going for genocide and terrorism but inculturation which is also detested and stirring up anger and friction.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Christian leaders at the meeting, part of a three-year effort aiming to produce a code of conduct by 2009, sought a balance that would let them continue spreading their faith without discrediting it and antagonising other religions.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Again, too late. Their faith was discredited by many when it was launched. And all those missions in S America, and among various small tribal communities in Asia and Africa provide further proof of the unethical nature of their religion. Inculturation additionally stresses the unoriginality and appropriating nature of christianity.
'Code of conduct' - new code for how to not get caught. More denial, whining about persecution, media lobbying and creating reverse-stories to blame the victimised religions of the crimes committed by the christos themselves. Heard it all before.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->"<b>India and Sri Lanka are two countries that have become very sensitive to this issue," said Monsignor Felix Machado, the Vatican's representative in the discussion.</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Gee, I wonder why India and Sri Lanka have got sensitive over this issue? Could it be because Indians and Sri Lankans know about the christoterrorism going on in their respective countries?
Translation of Vatican's double-speak mouthed by Monsignor Felix Machado: 'We've been caught at it in India and Sri Lanka and the local populace aren't happy. Must think of new means of inducting their countries into Ze Only Tru and Holy Faith.'
