I had to put my eyes back in my head before I could respond, they rolled so hard. This dude really thinks God is in his image and too small to encompass Maori beliefs, and is wilfully misunderstanding the power differential involved. And he's not alone. Sigh.

I feel bad for all the Maori people subjugated anew by this guy's act of cultural supremacy and by seeing all his supporters who quite evidently despise them.
