mmmmmm... LongPig.
Let’s see, you have three missionaries and three cannibals, and one canoe that holds two people. Send two cannibals across, send one back with the canoe. Then send two missionaries across, and....oops.

mmmmmm... LongPig.My uncle (preacher) told me about the cannibal who ate a Pentecostal. ... didn’t taste bad, but he kept throwing up his hands.
In a further disclosure, they said that though they applogized for eating the Methodists, they had absolutely no remorse about eating the Baptists or the Presbyterians since they were just "down-right tasty".
;-)
No apologies necessary if they would only eat all the muslim terrorists! I hear they taste like pork.
Inquiring minds want to know: Did they taste like chicken?

“...they claim now that an evil spirit/being can ‘take-over’ a human body and that ‘it’ is no longer human and okay to kill and eat.”
They must have joined the ACLU.
Suspicious Cannibal Diplomacy Ping
Isn’t that the same tribe that ate the clown and complained the meat tasted funny?
I think Methodists would leave a bad aftertaste - today’s versions anyway.
Details, details.
Ever read The Peace Child?
It’s written by a missionary who went into New Guinea and worked among the cannibalistic Sawi tribespeople. Fascinating book.

The other white meat.
Seriously, my brother was a missionary in Brazil circa mid ‘50s.
There were still headhunters and cannibals in the Amazon then.
The favorite part of a human? Palm of the hand. Tastes similar to pork.
In a letter to the general secretary of the London Missionary Society he wrote: "The natives respect us more than they did, and as they all acknowledge the justice of our cause they bear us no ill will."
But the reprisals attracted fierce criticism from the press, particularly in Australia.
The Australian newspaper said: "If missionary enterprise in such an island as this leads to wars of vengeance, which may readily develop into wars of extermination, the question may be raised whether it may not be better to withdraw the mission from savages who show so little appreciation of its benefits."
However, an official investigation by British colonial authorities a year later exonerated Rev Brown.
A good lesson for what we're going through today with muslims, with the obligatory handwringing from the press.
I’ve never told this story to anyone, but my grandfather went native there before he returned to Europe to hang out with the Dadaists, Tristan Tsara, even Lenin in Zurich. (He was an atheist.) He was perfectly lucid when he recounted, with some embarassment, that Methodists did indeed tasted better than members of other Protestant heresies.
