On bibles and land

Quote from Brass:

"When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said "Let us pray." We closed our eyes. When we opened them, we had the Bible and they had the land."

-- Quote attributed to Bishop Desmond Tutu

For Tutu's experience in South Africa this quote is very appropriate. For most of the rest of Africa not so much.

The philosophy of the Afrikaners (Boers) who settled South Africa was very much in line with "take their land and giver the natives a dose of religion" - especially focused on the parts of the Bible they claimed to show that white man was superior.
 
The Bible says that Japeth will prosper.. so Japeth is IndoEuropeans. The rest of the world is Hamitic [black, asian, amerind] or Shemitic [arabs].. Hamites and Shemites pretty muchly have chickens, goats, and dirt floors [unless they are wallowing in oil money] and Europeans pretty much have roads, retirement plans, corporations, cars, universities, etc...

The US could completely destroy it's economy trying to make Hamites as prosperous as Japethites and it still wouldn't happen!

I'm surprised you didn't have the forethought to add the standard "88" suffix to your user name.

This plays directly into why Bishop Tutu woke up and smelled the rock!:D

Just curious. Since your user name is only one 8 ("Eight") rather than the conventional two, does it represent the Heil or the Hitler? Either way, it must have been a high price for you to pay for just a bit of added nuance, eh?
