I have known a lot of Leftists who basically say: "Christianity is bad. Look at the Crusades! It was was only 800 years ago that you people started a war -- just to show what good Christians you were! Christianity never does anything good -- it just kills people!"

To turn that aside, an emphasis on the stories of missionaries, of the role of Christianity in the Abolition of slavery and in the Civil Rights movement, would be a good thing.

And I suspect that the Left would be more threatened by those stories than by anything else. I've been disappointed that the End of the Spear doesn't seem to have been promoted as much as I had hoped.

Actually, the leftists think that Christian missionaries are agents of imperialism and that it is a bad thing to disturb stone age cultures with Christ's message. In the later regard, they are right in one respect, His message has always been revolutionary, wherever it appears and the powers-that-be never approve of it. They either supress it or try to water it down to control it. I'm sure that is as true in a stone age culture as it is in modern secular culture as it was in AD 0.
