i lived in pohnpei in the early 60s and there was one catholic and one new england protestant church on the island. five years later there were seven day, jehovah, mormon, baptist, unitarian and three or four others all fighting for a slice of the pie. it seemed that whichever church had the best bbq or singing group on friday got the largest crowd. it also began animosity that wasn't present before. one island, kosrae, has introduced ordinances to ban any religion not based on christianity. all these religions target poor, contented, isolated areas because they dont want to confront the reality of inner cities worldwide. it is reported that the mormon church spends less than two percent of its seven billion in tithes income on helping poor, non mormons. hawaii has about a thousand or so churches with six hundred thousand people claiming a relationship with the christian faith, and seven or eight thousand homeless. go figure.
