Missionaries are inherently xenophobic.
Missionaries to Jews are inherently antisemitic.
There is no debate here - the above statements are inescapable true. Intentions do not matter. It LITERALLY DOES NOT MATTER that Christian missionaries BELIEVE they are doing something good by saving other people from hell. IT. DOES. NOT. MATTER.
Because the people you're missionizing ALSO have beliefs, that are part of their own religions and cultures and histories and ethnicities. And your assumption that only YOUR beliefs are correct and must be spread is the LITERAL definition of xenophobia.
Missionaries and bigotry are not seperable.
If you proselytize in your personal life (congratulations, you are also a model of xenophobia and bigotry), or if you support missionaries or missionary activity (ideologically or financially), you are now being instructed to unfollow me, because I don't like you as a person, and I can't respect you while you willfully disrespect others. In either case, you are also now being instructed to cut that shit the fuck out. No one wants to hear about the love of Jesus from you, and if they do, they will ask you DIRECTLY and EXPLICITLY. Literally no one else gives a fuck.
I will be accepting apologies in writing and reparations via venmo.
This post is fine for anyone to reblog.
Unless you're reblogging it to start an argument defending missionary practices, in which case you'll be blocked and/or publicly humiliated, depending on just HOW bad your argument inevitably is.
My grandfather (a physician) and grandmother (who had nursing skills) were medical missionaries, which may be a different type of missionary than you describe above. Rather than proselytizing being their first priority, medical care in underserved parts of certain nations was; they would go to areas and establish field hospitals and treat the people in that vicinity. Then, if asked, and certainly not as a precondition of care, they would speak of their faith to people. My grandmother later wrote of her experiences in China and India and in one described human faith as each person working on their corner of a puzzle, but no one seeing the entire picture yet. I respectfully disagree with your comment that missionary work and bigotry are not separable, insomuch as “missionary work” can take forms that are not bigoted -- I believe my grandparents were proof of that. (For what it’s worth, I am not Christian; I broke with that faith over the question of theodicy, and am loosely agnostic nowadays.)
I’m not OP, but I saw your reblog @wcitymike3 and wanted to dig into it a little, because this understanding of certain missionary activities as benign, or even helpful, in limited contexts is a common one. However, and I genuinely mean no disrespect to you or your family, Christian medical missionary work is still inherently xenophobic and bigoted, just as all actively proselytizing activity is.
First, medical ethicists and public health experts generally agree that medical missions of any kind, including “secular” ones, don’t have any net long-term benefits for the communities they serve. They are, at best, a short-term band-aid fix to problems that the medical mission organizations have no plan to or intention to fix in the long run and at worst can harm the development of long-term solutions. And, at their root, they are very much a modern version of Rudyard Kipling’s racist “white man’s burden.”
But beyond the fact that they aren’t long-term medical solutions and reek of white saviorism, Christian medical missions are geared towards converting non-Christian peoples to Christianity. That is their purpose, their reason for existing at all. And that purpose is xenophobic and bigoted. The idea behind Christian medical missions is that by providing sorely needed services, Christian medical staff can gain the trust of non-Christian communities and create a pipeline of communication that active proselytizers can then use to engage in conversion efforts. I’m not postulating on that, by the way, here is a Christian medical mission organization saying the quiet part out loud (it’s in the “how do medical missions help plant churches” part of the FAQ).
Christian missionary activities are wrong. They have created massive amounts of harm in the world. There is no type of Christian missionary work that is an exception to OP’s statement that missionary work and bigotry are inseparable, because at its root all Christian missionary work has the same goal: eradicating non-Christian religions and peoples through conversion and assimilation. That missionaries sometimes offer medical aid, food aid, or education along the way does not make missionary organizations’ goals any less bigoted or xenophobic. It just means that they put some sugar in the, otherwise bitter, missionary syrup to make it easier to swallow.

"We are frustrated by the imposed isolation and invisibility"
The Bisexual Manifesto We are tired of being analysed, defined and represented by people other than ourselves, or worse yet, not considered at all. We are frustrated by the imposed isolation and invisibility that comes from being told or expected to choose either a homosexual or heterosexual identity. Monosexuality is a heterosexist dictate used to oppress homosexuals and to negate the validity of bisexuality. Bisexuality is a whole, fluid identity. Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature: that we have "two" sides or that we must be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don't assume that there are only two genders. Do not mistake our fluidity for confusion, irresponsibility, or an inability to commit. Do not equate promiscuity, infidelity, or unsafe sexual behavior with bisexuality. Those are human traits that cross all sexual orientations. Nothing should be assumed about anyone's sexuality, including your own. We are angered by those who refuse to accept our existence; our issues; our contributions; our alliances; our voice. It is time for the bisexual voice to be heard. (Published on the Anything That Moves Magazine; 1990)

This cute platypus
(via)
I fully understand why westerners thought the platypus was a hoax at first. I’m looking at a real live one moving around and it STILL looks fake.
The one thing that could have made them sound any more made up would have been if you said the boys have secret viper fangs that can absolutely fuck you up with venom, and they do, on their goddamn feet.
cursed platypus facts: * five (5) X chromosomes * only the left ovary works * produces milk but has no nipples. the mother just kind of sweats milk out their chest. nature is beautiful * was nearly called the “duckmole” * swims with its weird fish eyes and ears closed, hunting entirely by electroreception * born with teeth, but then they fall out
If a writer wrote this for an alien specie people would say they are pushing it too far but honestly nature is weirder than anyone can imagine
only in straya!
