I can't stop laughing. Oh wait, Christians tried to get Old Testament law enacted in Uganda, and have gay people executed for "sins", putting them on par with the assholes in ISIS and every other religious fanatic who has caused suffering the world over.
So yes I can stop laughing. There's nothing funny about this troll thread. There's nothing honorable about missionaries. They're self-serving and often (I'd say usually) destructive and detrimental to the people they are trying to assimilate.
When it got to "master laying about with his stick" against the "uppity" and using labor in exchange for beads (as if the African or other tribal people are simple children who don't understand economics... WTF?!), it made me violently angry, even though I know it's just trolling. To even joke about the destruction of cultures, the terror and tyranny instituted, and the lives ruined by these missionaries... and follow it up by making racist statements like it's still 1815 is just ... I want to choke sombody.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
