The story is told of an agnostic anthropologist who visited some islands in the South Pacific. He was critical of the chief of the tribe. "You’re a great leader, but it’s a pity you’ve been taken in by those Christian missionaries. They only want to get rich through you. No one believes the Bible anymore. People are tired of the story of Christ dying on a cross for the sins of mankind. They know better now. It’s foolish for you to accept their story."
The old chief said, "Do you see that big rock over there? That’s where we used to smash the heads of our victims. See the furnace next to it? That’s where we used to roast the bodies of our enemies. If it hadn’t been for those good missionaries and the love of Jesus that changed us from cannibals into Christians, we’d be eating you for supper tonight. Be glad I’m a fool for Christ.”
