I’ve often been amazed at the length anthropoligists
will go to “preserve” a depraved and degenerate primitive
tribe of people. We used to “elevate” found primitives.
Now we enable them and even embrace their deviancy.
The state of that tribe is naturally dieing, yet moderns
swoop in and artificially resuscitate.
Star Trek’s “Prime Directive” has some merit.
Yeah, you’re right. I’m an American, of course... but I’m actually a Christian first (and by that, I don’t mean the kinds of “rules” that some think you should follow, but by the saving grace of God, through Jesus, the Messiah of Israel and His Death of the Cross, per the Gospel...).
So, I don’t know how on earth I can ever work to support any kind of culture that abandons God, or has false gods, or teaches ways that are against the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For me to support such a culture would be to promote sending people straight to hell, and why would I want to do that?
No, even if I didn’t *overtly* try to change such a culture like that (and encourage ancient beliefs and so on) — at the very least, I would want that culture to die a swift and quick death, for the benefit of the people who were caught in it...
[... and yes... I know this is not typical talk... :-) but it’s true...]
