I must try that one, mneme. Considering my Mother has been dead for over 25 years, they might get spooked at me receiving information from her and run like hell.

Whatever the answer is, we're not going to find out in this life.. I've had similar visitors and just tell them I get all the information I need from my mother (often at great length). They tend to just smile and leave.

The missionaries were ever so kind to them ginnie - so kind in fact that they gave them free firewater.

And to think that the 'civilized' people used to wonder why the Indians scalped their missionaries?

I like that deduction, Mac!
Paradise after death...guaranteed...or maybe not. ;) When we were on a 2,000 year old Indian reservation in Arizona in Jan, we were leaving a family's house when we spotted two guys in suits carrying briefcases. The Indian family said they weren't sure if they were Jehovah Witnesses or Mormons. I can't tell you how totally out of place they looked! I was incredulous! Why would they want to change the beliefs of people who are entrenched in their spiritual beliefs to the extent these Hopi natives were? I honestly wanted to scream at them but I don't do those things..ha!

Wow! How to get me big-headed in one easy lesson, TAPS. Now if I could just get a publisher to agree with you and pay me, I'd be over the moon. Thank you TAPS.

They don't do they? We are still glorified cavemen praying to the stars.

That says it all, Pat. A very succinct way of describing religious intolerance.

There's a cartoon I clipped some time ago about this very thing...
Visualize a little cottage, sidewalk, white picket fence. Painted on the sidewalk is a chalk outline of a body. A sign on the fence says "Don't try to tell me your religion is better than mine." The blurb at the bottom: How to deal with unwanted visitors.
