You did it! You magnificent bastards went and did it! I've been waiting for someone to do an episode on the Taiping Rebellion, and you guys were my first pick of podcasts not named Hardcore History. If anyone wants to read more about this (albeit with fewer dick jokes and less racism), I recommend "Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom" by Stephen R. Platt. (P.S. Qing is pronounced 'Ching'. A minor note on an otherwise fun episode.)

It's interesting that "拝上帝会" becomes "God Worshiping Society" in English. It's not incorrect but something is definitely lost in translation. Probably because they called their god 上帝 (Supreme Emperor), which is very Chinese.

The adorable racism you were going for is best summed up by the movie "A Christmas Story": 'It's fa la la, not fa ra ra ra." You got the r's and l's backwards! You're not lacist, you're razy!!!
