they shove their "religion" down our throats all the time... Oh,
but we can't talk about ours, that would hurt their feelings and they
would want to take us to court snerk In other words, why are they so
hypocritical?

the s. baptists are anything but christian.


What's funny, of course, is that justhate is so stupid, he doesn't get
it. No one is objecting to discussion about religion here("we can't talk
about ours," the fool posts).

To me, evangelical christians seem very insecure in their relgious

Well, screw that.

harry, I have a brother and sister-in-law who have done the same in
Panama for years. sister-in-law is a dentist/LPN who has worked very
extensively with Guaymi indians for years. My brother builds clinics
and church's (Oops". I meant to say "COMPOUNDS!") their kids come up
here and finish high school then go back. My family members have no
insecurity in their faith. Of course they're not really living in a
hostile part of the world. Harry, for those who feel threatened by
Christianity. I feel sorry for.


If people like like my family members don't do anything to help who
they do. Then who will? the government?


Gee, tim...i dunno. My dentist is gone in july and august (his partners
handle emergencies) every year. He goes to underserved asian countries
(he's korean) to fix the teeth of kids who have no way to pay for such
services. He sure as hell isn't serving up religion with his dentistry.

Sorry, tim, but I am no fan of evangelizing, *especially* among
unsophisticated native populations.

I am sure the Ngäbe appreciate the dental work, and they'd probably
appreciate it more without the efforts of evangelicals to sell them jesus
and in the process destroy their culture.

It does give the impression of bribing or blackmailing. The poor people
need the health care and will sell their souls to the highest bidder for
that care.

Nobody is blackmailing nor bribing nor forcing anyone.

But that's alright if you wish to believe so, Don.

They have the option of not receiving the free dental work or medical
care. Everything comes with strings attached. There is no free lunch.
