Bad Faith

A second South Korean body was found by the side of the road in Afghanistan, as Taliban officials made good on the threat of executing hostages. After 12 days of captivity, there still seems to be no plan to exchange prisoners for the South Korean abductees.

How the fuck did South Koreans get into Afghanistan?

Answer? Christian missionaries.

When will these idiots learn that spreading the word of Jesus will get you k-i-l-l-e-d killed? Especially in a Muslim country. The Spaniards wiped out the entire set of ancient South American civilizations, much as Europe had been trounced hundreds of years before. The last 200 years have been no better for the good word being spread, as every far off corner of the world gets infiltrated by people who feel "live and let live" just isn't good enough.

If people want to go to the most primitive and dangerous places on Earth to help others create irrigation ditches, restrain malaria, or improve the quality of live, be my guest. Just leave the damn bible at home. All those good works are tainted by the ulterior motive of adding to the tally so that they can get extra credit points on their evaluation for Heaven test.

The idea is so cliche, that they use it in the upcoming Rambo movie...the good hearted snowflakes go to a country they don't belong in, get jacked, and then need ol' blood and guts to save their dumb asses. Except that's Hollywood, and in real life, you're a South Korean who packed a suitcase because you had a buzz from too much Jesus Juice.

There are plenty of stupid ways to get yourself killed, but this has got to be at the top of the list.
