What is it about distaster zones that attract fundamentalist christians?
As the native population takes to the streets in an orgy of looting whilst the world looks the other way, those evangelists fly in and round up the local kids like god-bothered child-catchers, intent in whisking them away to a life of hygienic torpor in the bible belt.
I imagine the scene on the border:
Border Guard: "Anything to declare?"
Missionaries (posing as tourists)"Er; No?"
Border Guard: "What about these 30 children?"
Missionaries: "Oh My? Where did THEY come from? They must of followed us, the little monkeys! SHOO SHOO! It's our overwhelming goodness that attracts them!"
Every distaster presents an opportunity; to some it's a free toaster, to others it's the chance to impose one's values upon the helpless. Seemingly inevitable, but both equally unpalettable.
