    None taken whatsoever. I grew up christian in Turkey, there were a lot of missionaries with the mindset “to the converts first” (remember that to them “pro-west” is a necessary condition that doesn’t even warrant being mentioned). I don’t think anybody had any illusions what to expect of their “help”. Thankfully this wasn’t that big an issue during the 1999 Earthquake (as far as I’m aware), but the demolished churches did help with fundraising from churches in europe I have to admit. There’s another whole thing to be said about missionaries going to Occupied Palestine with “to the jews first”, so much to unpack it’s like evil christmas.

    the head of international relief for Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse, has made comments that in some cases Christians should receive preferential treatment when being resettled from hostile areas

    Samaritan

    I mean whats left to say…

    I am fully aware of why people would be apprehensive of christians from the imperial core, especially white christians from the imperial core. It’s a reputation that is more than well earned and the reason I can’t find a church I would like to be a part of.

      As I know about bigoted Christians from my abusive ableist victims of Communism family, I believe that Western christians are hypocrites who use Christian slogan for sinful purposes. They judge others by their appearance and the self-identification when the Bible taught that Satan and the anti-Christ primarily use appearance and self-identification to deceive others. They complained that their hatred, violence, and hypocrisy are acceptable because they dictated that other people act the same way without evidence. They claim that they need to obey corrupted white authorities and armed Tibetan gangsters in Parkdale high school of Toronto city because corrupted authorities and armed gangsters ruled Western countries and are more terrifying than the punishment from the True God of Christianity. Since the Bible taught that they should fear the True God more than any human authority, they will deny their bootlicking hypocrisy to white repressors and pretend that they were always faithful servant of the Christian God.
