Africans Receive Their bibles

Yeah I can tell it's sarcastic, but did they actually have missionaries deliver Bibles to starving people in Niger?  Are missionaries that insane that they spent money on leather bound bibles instead of leather bound cattle or food?

Why would you think I would post an article which shows an organization which is trying everything to raise millions of dollars for food for the starving?

I suppose I'm confused.

Peace to you.

Ak_m_f, please do me the favor of sending me the link to the erroneous, misleading article you posted.  Thank you.

Btw, here's a "missionary" who was the former priest of my parish.  He founded and operates an orphanage in Haiti for children.  Our Church in Maine contributes to this orphanage every two weeks to help these children have all the care they need.

At the risk of (once again) looking like an old prude, I will also post this link to more of Fr. Marc's work.  And I would think with all the wars, bloodshed, and chaos now taking place in the world one would be more sensitive to spreading further confusion and hatred.

God have mercy on us ALL.

Imagine the lives lost.....and the lives saved from godless dictators.  You were not alive then.  The N. Koreans were HORRIBLE!  Are we just supposed to stand by and do nothing??  The VIET CONG massacred hundreds of thousands....we were trying to stop them.  Yes, it was a political war which never should have been, but it was going on, and we (stupid fools that we are) were trying to stop the Viet Cong....have you read of Pol Pot?  I'm sure you must have heard what he did during the Vietnam War.

What is with this blame game?  It never ends!  I just don't get it.  And I feel that since we (Americans) are such horrid rapists, murderers, scoundrels, fighting only for self interests such as oil.....we would do well to come home and stay home.  Let everyone else decide who to kill or who to rape next.  I am 100% for isolationism, and for sending only humanitarian aid to countries in need.  Also, I believe we (like every other country) should always have the right to defend ourselves from attacks.  But for Americans to try to "help" free innocent people....NO.  It does no good, and only causes more hatred for us.  I'm finished with it.  The rest of the world can try to figure it all out..........without the US involvement at all.

Peace and Wisdom.
