MANY thanks for exposing the brutality of colonialism by exposing the mind behind King Leopold II’s message to the Christian missionaries journeying to Africa in 1883. Airing my opinion from the Christianity background, the act of King Leopold II towards the use of the Bible to fulfill his interest and of his masters was totally an abuse of the word of God and the evangelists. He took advantage of some mostly related scriptures and interpret them in a wrong way to suit his will. It was unfortunate that the word which was preached was given to people who were disadvantaged on the knowledge and understanding of the things of God. That is why the same Bible says, “My people perish because of the lack of knowledge.” What matters most was the lack of knowledge and wisdom to the things of God. Even in this era, some evangelists are still abusing the word of God to fulfill their will. Thanks once again for unpacking this truth. I hope it has opened other peoples’ minds. Ephraim Katongo
