The Christian missionary that wanted to translate the Bible into the Piraha language became an atheist after his encounters with the natives.
His name is Daniel Leonard Everett, and he is an American author best known for his study of the Amazon Basin’s Piraha people. Today, he’s the Dean of Arts and Sciences at Bentley University.
He got married at age 18 and completed a diploma in Foreign Missions. He and his wife made it their goal to translate the Bible into all the world’s languages. When he moved to begin translating Piraha, his faith was shaken. The Piraha had a concept of truth that was foreign to him, and it started to wear on his belief in Christianity.
Over time, his belief diminished and he became an atheist. He was apparently having serious doubts in 1982 and lost all faith by 1985. He kept quiet for nearly fifteen years, but when he finally told his wife, his marriage fell apart and two of his children ceased contact with him. Today, he’s remarried and back in contact with his kids.
That wasn’t a typo. There actually is a dialect of German spoken by a small group of people in Texas called “Texas German.” Descendants of German immigrants who moved to Texas settled in an area called Texas Hill Country in the mid-19th century. The immigrants established several towns in the area and continued to speak German in their homes.
The technical term is “maternal insult,” but we know them as “yo momma jokes.” The joke is meant to insult a person by way of their mother. It is a globally offensive joke. In many countries, it isn’t a joke at all. The only time it is used is to really insult and offend someone or cause a fight.
