yup yup yogore, that's exactly where I am coming from... the people who clothe themselves in this self righteousness and are like... blah blah blah... I'm so great I'm going to Africa on a mission trip and blah blah blah... I want to punch them in the face

I agree to an extent. i am all for people traveling to third world contries to help out, but I don't think they should try and convert the civilians. Any form where religious people push their beliefs is wrong, in my opinion. Religion should be a very private thing, and in America it is so apparent what everyone's religion is. For example, Ash Wednesday makes me mad, because the Chrisitans walk around with ashes on their face. It's fine that it's a ritual, but there's no need to show it off everywhere you go.
