    "They came with a Bible and their religion, stole our land, and
    crushed our spirit, and now tell us we should be thankful to the Lord
    for being saved."

    Bishop Tutu said ''When the missionaries came to our country, why they
    had the bible, and we had the land, they said, let us bow our heads
    and pray, so we dutifully did so, and when we looked up, why they had
    the land, and we had the bible''
