The road to hell is paved with good intentions and all. I can see why you think that since some missionaries do actually help people build their infrastructure. The biggest problem (other than teaching harmful backwards views or making aid conditional on converting to their religion) is that missionaries tend to be single-minded and unwilling to learn and adapt to the cultures they visit. Usually a missionary isn't gonna know what's best for a community but they domineer development anyway. But your topic seems to be specifically about how missionaries travel to spread their religion rather than about efforts to build infrastructures and actually help people. So...I mean in that regard I guess in their view they're doing good? In reality it's just useless and pointless and IMO more harm than good. The only good that comes out of missionaries is when they actually help build infrastructures --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. <cite>Wetterdew posted [p:930133477] in Missionari...

The road to hell is paved with good intentions and all. that's an interesting expression because hell doesn't exist. --- The american prison system is a sorry mess but giving them game consoles isn't going to solve anything.
