(Toto) ...The interview said that Baptists are trained to get into Moslem countries by subterfuge to convert Moslems to Christianity... The young missionaries are told that they will probably be safe... but that the people they convert are likely to be imprisoned, killed, or tortured
(Laurie) Reminds me of that classic dialogue I share with believers every chance I get:

Eskimo: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?"
Minister: "No, not if you did not know."
Eskimo: "Then why did you tell me?"

What can you say about people who think like that?
Lots of things. Most would probably make a sailor blush.
