Discuss the idea of Mythology/stories in religion, and the role myths and stories play in society
It is to give people something to believe in and to help with giving people an understanding of things, it also helps give people an explanation on how things happened and why things are like they are today.
What similarities are there between the myths and stories of Màori and the first British Missionaries
- They both have gods
- they both killed
- they both had beliefs
- both had a different dialect
- They both used music
- They both prayed/karakia
Why would a difference between Màori beliefs and English beliefs cause conflict?
Because they didn't believe in most things and they didn't agree on most things either, they also thought very strongly in their own beliefs. The missionary would also not accept Maoris for believing that they have got different gods and would try to convert Maoris to Christianity and it would most likely have made Maori people feel mad, frustrated, annoyed and confused.
