Discuss the idea of Mythology/stories in religion, and the role myths and stories play in society?
I think that people believe the Idea of myths and stories as it signifies/supports them with providing an understanding of life and the ¨creation¨ of earth, Also it may give them a purpose for growth and development.
What similarities are there between the myths and stories of Màori and the first British Missionaries?
They both provided for there community
They both believed that there was a god or many
They both prayed/Karakia
They both believed that there was a god or many
They both prayed/Karakia
Why would difference between Màori beliefs and English beliefs cause conflict?
Because they both had diverse beliefs in purpose as in Maori were taught to be fierce and allow violence, However, the missionaries would not allow violence, Also there could be conflict in how Maori believe that there were many gods and missionaries believe that there was only one. Which could result in the missionaries feeling mad, frustrated, annoyed and confused.
