Quote of the Day
“While missionaries see their activities as noble efforts to open the blind eye, they are engaged acts of disrespect. The missionary says that the beliefs and practices of other faiths do not provide a meaningful way of life and path to salvation. Unless a person accepts the conviction of the missionary, his eternal soul is doomed. Missionizing is an effort to win another person’s acknowledgment of the error of his ways and recognize a higher, self-evident truth. The goal of this thoughtlessly directed religious zeal is the annihilation of a person’s present faith and the demolishing of another religious culture. To claim that another faith lies outside the consummation of God’s covenant is an act of spiritual imperialism. It reduces the person who is the object of the missionary’s assault to a theological category.” – Rabbi Mark Miller
