A phenomenon was discovered in New Guinea in the 1940s known as "cargo plane cults" by anthropologists. These cults sprang up in response to modern aged white men showing up and introducing their brand new way of life to the natives. It is a fascinating study of man's ingrained need for religion.
These cults observed that planes carrying bountiful cargo would arrive to supply the white men with everything they could want or need. They further observed that the white men had strange ways - and associated them with the planes' arrivals.
They saw that the white men would talk on a radio. They built towers to talk on these radios, which made the planes come. They came to the only logical conclusion a human could come to: the white men were communicating with their gods through the radio, causing the planes to show up.
As a result, a gospel quickly sprang up to explain the entire supernatural affair. A local leader is supposed to have direct contact and influence over the white men. The proof is that of course, soon after the white men arrived, and the native leader was assimilated by them, BLACK men similar to the white men began to appear.
Local cult leaders claim to have seen their native leader in visions. Interestingly enough, nobody knows for sure if the guy even existed in the first place. But the natives continue waiting for the glorious millenium of plenty - when the planes will come in for them.
Every year, they set aside a holiday to clear a field for the leader and his plane. They build towers, and use mach radios in which their mediums talk gibberish through and claim to receive message in return from the cargo Gods.
Now clearly these people have not been property educated about the Church of the Orbiting Teapot. I'd like to organize a mission to evangelize the teapot, and show them how they can have a personal relationship with Him. They must be saved from their ignorance. Now is the time.
Who's in?
