When I was a kid, my mother was employed by the White Sisters of Africa - beautiful nursing nuns who used love, kindness in conversions. They, of course, as Catholics do, used local art to help the African people understand the religion - all Madonnas and Christ images were black with the beautiful traditional robes of the Kikuyu. This was in Kenya.

The Mormons use similar methods, using "love and kindness" to achieve their conversions. This is image centered evangelism. Good things should be done for good thing's sake, and not as a sales pitch. This is merely superficial, since many athiests do the same thing as well, performing good works like feeding the sick. The real question is: What is and isn't true. If you forsake truth for mere appearance, then you have nothing.

Oh, I guess that’s why the Mormons have better conversion rates than you do. Yeah, using insults and ugly language always works. You could also try beheadings - that is a nifty tool for conversion.
