Religious intolerance in New Guinea. They just want to worship western cargo, where's the bad?

Police raided three villages Monday near the city of Lae on the north coast and arrested leaders of a "cargo cult" and their followers, the newspaper said. Those arrested were aged between 20 and 70.

Cargo cults believe that Western goods or cargo, first encountered through missionaries and explorers, are created by ancestral spirits. They have been known to build airstrips in the jungles in the belief that planes would land with cargo.

In America we call these people "consumers" and advertisers worship them! I put this in my "different strokes for different folks" file.
