Cargo cult lives on in South Pacific.

This story always fascinates me, not sure why, I think it's another example of how off the wall the beliefs of a religion can sound to those outside of it. Plus wondering exactly how this came about.

You should check out this book (http://www.amazon.com/New-Religious-Movements-Documentary-Reader/dp/0814707033/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-1599964-7704720?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1173074219&sr=8-1) if you want to learn more about Rastafarians. And then you can be totally side-tracked reading all the other chapters about new religious movements. It's really intereting. It actually made me want to meet some people who practice Santeria because it sounds so neat. I can't really say the same for the Family of God, though.
