The 'Taiping Rebellion', which is exquisitely detailed in the book "God's
Chinese Son", resulted in more casualties than World War I and World War II
combined, and all within a matter of a handful of years. Hong, who believed
he was Christ's younger brother, was a native southerner inspired by
missionaries and 'Manchu' oppression to lead an uprising which would result
in Heaven on Earth. The result, sadly, was nothing of the sort - the sort of
horror that lead to unbelievable slaughter. I highly recommend the book.

Subject: [lastexodus] Fw: [FS] General Tso
I got this off the Feng Shui mailing list, but reading the article leads me
to believe that it's more appropriate for "The Last Exodus"...
While the chicken dish may not have been invented until the 1970's, the
rebellion that General Tso was famous for putting down was led by... someone
who described himself as Christ's younger brother!
Oh, and many of that "Messiah's" followers fled to America, to be used as
coolie labor building our Railroads! Seems like this whole "Antichrist" vs.
"Messiah" thing has been going on longer than we thought! :->
