Changes of the Sawi after Christianity was introduced

After the introduction of christianity and the accept by the Sawi completely changed their culture and many ways made developments. Being exposed to Christianity, they were exposed to the words of God and became more civilized. Their views of death completely changed as well as their life style. This show how much effect a religion can have on an individual and a group of people. Although it is impossible to change the Sawi completely like Christians in our society, most basic conciousness and belief were changed.
The Sawi became more modernized in a way that there were less killing, less canibalism and betrayal. They also came to believe heaven or hell after death. I also thing it was easier to take in everything in the bible as they were less educated. Many of them would not doubt the existance of heaven and hell unlike many of us today.

Good answers Mark. I think this is a safe answer too. Just because the Sawi were less Educated does not mean that they are uncomplex and naive to accept Christianity. Mrs.Mc.
