Of course, this went over like a Lead balloon with the Taliban, so they all were arrested and later released, unharmed. Their hidden agenda almost sunk the World Food Project, at least in Afghanistan.
They were working for the WFP and should not have had any agendas, other than feeding the poor and starving Afghans. But these young women were "Stealth Christians."
I remember their round of the talk show circuit and thinking, what in God's name is wrong with these people?
Anyhoo, ever since then, the new missionaries' agenda has been known by us as "dinner and a movie."
What a bunch of know-nothing idiots!
Not more than a month after the Afghanistan came to an end, I saw to Christian missionaries on television announcing that Christians going overseas were being encourgaed to deceive others as to who they are and what their agendas are. Deception is quite alright for the furtherance of the message of Christ.
Never in my life have I heard such evil as this!
I would think that most people are familiar with the 7 cardinal or deadliy sins; 1) False pride (wrath) 2) Vainglory 3) skip for now 4) Envy 5) Greed 6) skip for now 7) Gluttony 8) Lust 9) Sloth.
So you see, there are really 9 cardinal or deadly sins: The missing two are 3) Deception and 6) Fear.
So how can fear be a sin? For one thing fear is the absence of faith 9in what? Basically in one's own mind. Also, where there is long-tem fear, it inevitably leads to fear-mongering, which is probably one of the worst things one person can do to another but fear, like misery, loves company.
I don't imagine that I have to explain why deception is a cardinal sin. That shoud be obvious to anyone who has made a major life decision based on being deceived; like buying a car, for example.
Max Blumenthal on “Rick Warren’s Double Life”
"Prior to this controversy, Rick Warren was ... proffered by the media as the voice of the new evangelical movement, which embraces environmentalism and fights poverty and is going to move beyond the old hobgoblins of the Christian right and the old, you know, draconian figures of the Christian right, like James Dobson and Pat Robertson. ...
So, the real Rick Warren is someone who fights the culture war with a velvet glove....he freely admitted to a reporter from the Wall Street Journal that the principal difference, the only difference, between him and James Dobson is a matter of tone. ... .... He recently was interviewed by Sean Hannity, and Sean Hannity asked him, “Should we attack Iran?” And Rick Warren said, “Well, it’s our God-given obligation to take out evildoers.” ... Beyond that, you know, Rick Warren says he’s for the environment. Rick Warren says that he’s for fighting poverty, which is great. But what has he actually done?
Where does it say that, that we, the people of the U.S. are responsible for ridding the world of evil? Anywhere? The Constitution, The Bible, (which has nothing to do with national priorities), various treaties? Where exactly does it say that it is our duty to rid the world of evil?
If it is written, somewhere, we certainly have our work cut out for us and perhaps we should start right here at home, with domestic violence, the death penalty, war on trumped up charges (or just war, period, unless we are attacked and our military effeorts are defensive, which they were not in Iraq), Rape, child molestation, etc.
You know, I’ve spent hours scouring the internet, calling around, trying to find some results that Rick Warren has produced in Africa against AIDS, results he’s produced against poverty. And all I can find is that his peace programs, which he calls them, are sort of recruitment vehicles for the churches that he’s planning in Africa and that he is using these programs actually to evangelize, and there’s no real way of measuring his results. "
Ah, dinner and a movie!
