No of course not! I don't usually make blanket statements (I don't agree ever) and now I know why. Note to self: Do not post in the theology thread after a morning of reading The Poisonwood Bible.
I think that doing good and charitable things because you believe God wants you to help other people is awesome. I generally do not like the idea of this going hand in hand with trying to convert people.

Maybe missions and missionaries should be our next point of discussion.
