The most annoying thing Christian missionaries have done is describe language in-depth because now we owe one of the largest databases of language to people who I don't think are very good
#they're not like normal christians either they're evangelicals#(it's ethnologue)#it is interesting speaking multiple languages bc the English wikipedia article describes it as neutral and not actually religiously#affiliated#but the Swedish article says its neutrality as a scientific creation is debated#especially regarding languages connected to the bible or abrahamic religions#note I say annoying because they have definitely done much worse things#but I wouldn't describe those things as annoying
