do you think that we have a more covert way of being missionaries now? as i see
it, we use our products, our cultural ideologies, and our economic strength to go
into countries today and teach them our ways. we don't have to do it by impressing
our religious values onto the people directly anymore, instead our American dream
seeps right into their cultures. what is McDonalds in Russia, Japan, S. Africa?
what are the Levi's and the coca-cola doing for global politics? would you
consider these big companies to be types of cultural missionaries---gently
preaching Christianity with every burger sold??? i don't know what you guys think
about all this.
thanks for all the great responses so far. you are a great group of people. esp.
nicole for the really long and thoughtful one.
peace
