What gets me is the people who go to be missionaries in Peru, Mexico, etc., because it's not enough that they believe in Jesus, they don't believe in Jesus the right way.

If they were really serious about saving souls, they'd go to the highlands of New Guinea. In fact, I propose we send them all there.

*looks behind your shoulder to see if it's safe* how about Madagascar?

What is the right way to believe in Jesus? Is there a right way?

Why New Guinea ? Find a deserted Island somewhere and send them there, why torture the poor natives of some country...and if they have to go somewhere populated can there be cannibals? *please please pretty please?* or to quote Hayley *I'll give you a dollar*

The highlands of New Guinea are populated by cannibals and headhunters. Real, live, cannibals and headhunters. Hence my suggestion.

The "right way" is always "our way". Catholicism, despite being the largest branch of Christianity, is Just Not Cool Enough for American evangelists.

My last encounter with religious people was hanging out with some Hare Krishnas. They just asked me if I wanted to dance, meditate and wax philosophical with them.
I think they had me scouted.

Nonono, see, you're supposed to go home and repent of your wicked atheistic ways! Because lo and behold, random stranger being creepy and pushy has touched your heart. You will henceforth be assimilated into the psudoculture of 'the Bible told me so' and 'all other religions are wrong and must be destroyed,' and furthermore you will like it. Sort of like Agent Smith. Or maybe the Borg. Only with potlucks and patronizing instead of cybernetic implants.
Nyeh.

Also, Faith is really the one and only good thing about AtS.

Clearly my heart just isn't in the right place, or is not appropriately open to being fondled er, touched by the hand of JESUS.

*hackcoughsplutter*

I like early season Angel a whole lot, and there are bits of later season that I love, but... yeah. Faith? Definitely a BIG plus. Um. *gets mildly distracted*

High five.*
You speak the truth.
I got a rather good mark for a column I wrote about that sort of thing and how it fucks me off...
