Clarification: missionaries
It’s not that I think missionaries are literally rude. In fact, most of the ones I’ve met are the kindest, most open-hearted people you’ll ever meet in your life. They do good works, much more than I have ever done, and that I respect. There is a lot to be learned from them. What I mean by “rude” is the idea that one religion trumps another and that one should travel the world to attempt to achieve sameness. This idea is what I have a problem with, not the people nor the trips themselves.
