Interesting. Because it's the exact same rationale used by the Conquistadores and Jesuits in Central and South America and by the various Western Protestant missionaries that went to the South Pacific, Africa and the North American continent to "bring the truth and salvation to the unenlightened savages" of those regions. Each conversion was a special win for them too. After all, they had saved them from their previous existence surrounded by ignorance. They believed that they were saving souls though. What are you saving them from? Ignorance? Superstition? Their comfort? But, since YOU'RE actually right (and that rightness makes you righteous and even self-righteous) it's not the same thing at all, is it? 11 people whose "lives and minds you've changed". By your force of will and your certainty of being right. Well, you're following a well tread path, best of luck to you and your battle to enlighten those who you feel superior to and who you are clearly driven to bring up to see things as you see them. It's a time-honored calling.
