Moana: The Gods Must Be Crazy

This is all fun and games from our enlightened, high-tech perch where we can say, “Aw, that’s cute. The native is praying to his ‘fire god.’ Adorable.” Yet it’s important to remember that these “adorable natives” prayed with as much devotion, if not more so, to their gods, elders, and ancestors as we do to the God of the Bible.

Who can deny the appeal of superheroes? The story of humanity is filled with them, real and mythical. Hercules, Genghis Khan, Joan of Arc, Paul Bunyan, Malala…the list goes on. Every culture in the world has them in some form or another, and they all have the same effect on those who hear their stories. They inspire, they encourage, they motivate, they empower. Sometimes they conquer, sometimes they save. Some build mighty empires, some hear the cries of the weak and helpless.
