Letter: Religion

Readers of the Cook Islands News were treated yesterday to a front page with a Minister of the Crown telling the world, and our potential visitors, that one of the most prominent religions on earth are breaking our laws while on the second page we see a parade of people marching on the main road celebrating the Confirmation of youngsters that have been indoctrinated from infancy into that other prominent religion.

These young Cook Islanders are taught to believe that the bread and wine of communion - literally - becomes, in their kopu, the flesh and blood of Christ. We must have then, a registered religion that promotes cannibalism.

Seems someone has opened a big can of worms challenging the beliefs of some 400 of our fellow residents.
