actually while i was there i was asking about the aboriginal people of the island. i noticed a large cross in what seemed to be nothing but jungle with a road passing through. so it got me wondering. i mean, if the newbies are all all about confucianism, buddhism, taoism... then the aboriginals must have something really crazy going on... but as it turn out most of them are christian! thanks to a portuguese priest that converted them all early on when portugal ran the island. whew! where would those people have been if they didnt know they would burn in hellfire for all eternity if they didnt put a cross up in their jungle villages.
the person i was talking with didnt know about the aboriginals religion before christianity, since i guess its been that way for a very long time.
