Now the missionaries, who in ever-increasing numbers invade our shores, come from the United States, the current super power on earth. Being a super power founded on conquest and subjugation, the pervasive social discourse in the in the United States tend to reflect triumphalism and domination. Missionary theology is a product of this environment. It is informed and empowered by, participates in and perpetuates the culture of imperialism and domination. Any speech that denigrates and devalues a people is tantamount to an act of violence.
Missionary theology devalues and denigrates individuals and groups.
Labels of hostility are the precursors to violence. The Assumption of Superiority Missionary theology is explicitly based on the assumption of superiority of Christianity over the religions of the world. Since Christianity is the only way to salvation, all deviants are cast into the fires of everlasting hell. The world is polarized into saved and sinner, free and condemned. Hence the imperative to convert to save.
