Reply #24: The daughter of a co-worker of mine

[skepticscott]

and her husband committed to becoming Christian missionaries in China for their church. They started in their early twenties and they've been over there for a few years, learning the language and getting other training. They will be there for the rest of their lives, trying to turn the natives into Christians. When I hear about it from my co-worker, I can't help but think that it's a foolish waste of two lives that could be much better spent solving some of the real problems in the world (though perhaps they may still do that), but I would never voice those opinions out loud. It is, in the end, their life and their decision, and none of my business.
