...giving bibles to black people? Sorry if this sounds racist but, most native Africans aren’t very mentally developed. If you give underdeveloped people a bible and tell them that it is the inerrant word of a god who will burn them in hell if they don’t believe every word of it, this is very bad for their society, right? I mean, the bible contains a lot of barbarity and a lot of bad advice for a modern society. If missionaries were to say, “This is God’s word, but don’t take it literally; especially the Old Testament,” this would have been better but no Christian missionaries give important advice like this, right? Christian missionaries just want to brainwash people to believe Christian mumbo jumbo; they don’t want people to have a reasonable interpretation of it, right?
 
If the Christian missionaries were "mentally developed" they wouldn't have been spreading their BS in the first place.
 
I stopped reading as soon as I read that Africans are not mentally developed. I figured that is one of the most racist things I have ever read and stopped reading.
 
Christians (no matter what color they are) believe that the Bible is Powerful/Spirit-filled; and we believe that Spirit is capable of bringing about the result desired by God. You speak from merely a human perspective and lack understanding as a result.
 
Faith is something one must be pleasant about. They aren't too good of missionaries if they straight out say "you'll burn in hell if you don't take every word of this right now!"
