Quote #10

Once the Indians saw how God protects its flock, why, even the Spartans were begging us to send preachers. (11.1.16)

And we close this section with the dark side of religion. Whites in the South Pacific used their religion as a weapon to instill fear in the natives and convince them (well, the ones who were still alive) to come over to their side. It's like: You're all dead; we're not. Why? God, of course. Now come worship him. And clean our houses.
