the road from juruti. this is what parts of the amazon bank look like. little outposts dotted along the edge of a vast canopy of sky tall trees. unfortunately, every little outpost had at least one church, and many of these where 'igreja de deus' the virulent evangelical group that has swept many of the poorer portions of brazil. to me these are an unwelcome sign that the old habit of christians going into native peoples to spread their foreign beliefs continues.

The old personal conflict between domination of religion vs. good or bad. What do you think converts think about the positive/negative about religion? Do they know the difference?
