That idiot could have killed everyone on the island by introducing new pathogens, and he came there with the intent of destroying their culture on top of it. I’m glad they killed him.
They didn’t kill him, his God let him die.
I like how you think.
First thing God’s done right in millennia
What a monumental asshole.
How is this creepy?
This is the definition of Fuck Around and Find out.
It’s creepy to the indigenous people. A religious nutjob who is willing to knowingly infect you with unknown pathogens like a Typhoid Mary and potentially commit genocide because he wants to be God’s messenger.
True sociopath.
It’s also creepy that a 20 something year old was so brainwashed by religion he had absolutely no concept of consequences. Same with that billionaire submarine that imploded. So many times someone could have had just one moment of clarity and said “maybe this is a bad idea”.
It takes literally no effort to leave these people alone. What a dumbass.
when he tried to hand over fish and gifts, a boy shot a metal-headed arrow that pierced the Bible he was holding in front of his chest
they may be primitive, but their grasp of symbolism is pure Hollywood… are we sure they don’t have HBO?
I mean it could’ve just been a fluke.
Like the kid was tryna kill him but the bible just happened to be in the way. I could see a Bible potentially stopping an arrow but it’s not gonna stop the next dozen
I prefer to think the message was “we’ve had fun, dipshit, but one of our kids can put an arrow through your heart at 100 paces and will do it for real next time. Fuck off with your gifts, we want nothing you can offer us.”
It’s just such a classic movie trope where like a cop is saved by a bullet hitting their badge or something. If this happened in some christian movie people would groan over the cliche symbolism.
In November, Chau embarked on a journey to North Sentinel Island, which he thought could be “Satan’s last stronghold on Earth”,[16]
We’d all be living in paradise if only he had succeeded. 😔
This is like joining a historic reenactment group to train for warfare
In my mind the staff made sure to go “wow mr. Missionary thanks for telling us about Jesus!” after a day because they were tired of his shit.
“I’m gonna getcha!! Oh wait, nevermind. I felt the gospel in my soul! Thank you Mr. Missionary!”
Like using muskets to invade Russia in the winter.
He is the reason that “Missionary Position” now means facedown in the dirt with a back full of arrows.
Were any of the people at All Nations who specifically trained and supported him for this ever arrested? Seems like they should have been arrested.
Am I the only one who thinks the real asshole here is “All Nations”, the evangelical organization that indoctrinated and trained Chau, who was obviously a very naive and easy to manipulate young man?
No. They are totally the assholes here. A lot of missionaries are.
Was on the “all” feed, clicked the link, read the wiki page, came back to see if this community was “c/dumbDeadAssholes”
Lol dumbass
Things that you do when you’re definitely healthy and not in a cult
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. LOL.
