Quote by Kevin Smith

Haven't two hundred years of failed missionary work overseas taught anybody anything? You can't convert people to anything - whether religion, or something as inane as our flicks.


Haven't two hundred years of failed missionary work overseas

Summary

This quote emphasizes the futility of trying to forcefully convert people to certain beliefs or ideologies, using both religious missionary work and exporting culture as examples. It suggests that the failures of two centuries, presumably referring to missionary efforts, indicate that trying to change or impose one's beliefs on others is ineffective. The quote possibly criticizes the arrogance and naive mindset that assumes conversion is possible, highlighting the complexity of human beliefs and the resistance people have towards forced change.
