I don't think he deserved it, but the whole concept of trying to "better" other cultures by spreading a specific religion has never made sense to me. You want to practice a religion, cool, KOKO. Doesn't mean it will benefit other people.

- They try to kill everyone who turns up on the island
- Missionarycel turns up on the island because he believes in fkn pixies
- They kill missionarycel
- Oh well

It's like he decided to play tag with trucks because of the voices in his head, except because it's religion, he's different and special instead of just mental.

I feel bad for his parents and family but this guy was just an arrogant twat with a Messiah complex.

Especially when these other people are well documented as being very hostile to outsiders even getting close to what is theirs.


This was dumb all around. It sucks for the kid and his family, but he should have never even tried this. It's like he got the idea from some movie where everything turned out OK.
Being anti-2nd Amendment is like saying "We have too many rights, please take some away!"

There is a lot to that. Anthropological evidence shows that the our brains have actually decreased in size on average in the last several tens of thousands of years, which is similar to what happened to virtually all our domesticated animals. Of course, we have become very good at certain tasks like writing and pressing buttons on machines, similar to how a corgi is much better at doing tricks than a wolf, but throw the vast majority of people into a harsh wilderness environment with nothing but their wits... and they'll likely die within a few weeks, if not sooner.

That’s an old study too

“The 2011 survey only spotted 15 Sentinelese on their island -- the count was done from a distance due to the danger in approaching the tribe. In the 2001 census, the total population was estimated to be 39.”

You're not invading Thailand to need 200 miscers with 9mm.

Just a group of 5 miscers and island would be yours in an hr.

damn...but that was 7 years ago. Who really knows how many people live on the island now though. I doubt theyd last 60k years no problem then just start dying out of no where. Unless that tsunami took out a lot of people

I'm sure 5 miscers with light kevlar armor and AR-15's could extinct the whole island chain in a week's time.

To be fair to Mr Chau if things had gone the other way it would have potentially been the most important moment in his life. As an EMT he probably saved peoples lives in the physical world and felt called to give them that opportunity in a spiritual sense. It would be easy to try to lump John Allen Chau in with the cultists, fanatics and televangelists that have given Christianity a bad name in some circles. Id imagine being a soldier for God is much like any other war. The public wants to tell you what youre doing is wrong, that youre stupid, that you shouldnt be in this country. When it comes down to it though and battle begins its just you and the people youre trying to save. He was trying to help those people. Its only when you have really fallen into sin and suffered at your own hands or seen someone else do it that you can see what the message of the bible is. The message is Love for yourself, your fellow man and God. Ive met people like this man. Ill be honest I dont usually associate with them because their interpretation of the bible is rigid, unbending, at times shackled. He most likely really believed the island natives were going to hell unless he brought them to Christ which is bull ****. The bible isnt about spreading a religion across the globe to save everyone from hell and paint everyone with the same brush - “say these words aloud or hell awaits”. Its to save people in this life who suffer, and save people who brought suffering on other people from hell in the next life. Its to bring peace to people. Release from all of the sinful and negative emotions which can take over a mans mind and rob him of any joy or happiness - anger, regret, jealousy, self hatred, greed among others. The message of the bible is so simple but so often misinterpreted - Christ died for your sins.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Eternal = lasting or existing forever without end or beginning. You are supposed to be happy now always and forever and accept yourself. You dont have to carry that stone anymore that has been dragging you down. “You were lost and now you are found”. I would tell people not to listen to me or this missionary read it for yourself. The bible is a book of solutions. Its up to you to read it and interpret it and unlock the messages inside. Dont rely on people who claim to be somehow appointed to the task of explaining it. Read it for yourself. The messages are powerful and timeless.

Spreading the religion far and wide and converting everyone are central tenets of both Christianity and Islam.

The problem though is that if this guy wasn't a complete fool he would know that these kinds of attempts to "convert" or "study" have always been disastrous for these primitive tribes. At best, they get exploited, have their homes destroyed, and their language and culture are more or less made extinct within a few generations. At worst, they just get wiped out, usually by disease.

Few things are more dangerous than a fool with good intentions.

As far as the guy it was death by toxic narcissism.

Without looking into it too much just by the pics im assuming he had that closed circuit christianity charisma, he probably thought of himself as super charismatic and charmingly on fire for christ as far as the faith and probably had success with people in the christian community bonding and helping and having that high off helping others.

He maybe thought himself so likable that even the aboriginals would be cool with him. He thought his charm could tame even the wildest people.

Its also an ego "goal" to conquer the last known bastion of "savages" as a trophy target, like when they preach about teaching about God to the furthest edges of the earth and proclaim his greatness.

To religious people, from their point of view, theres also the paradox of, "doesnt it mean if someone doesnt know Jesus they are going to hell because they cant believe and come to christ and go to heaven? or even have the option to? isn't that unfair that the tribesmen who never heard of Jesus go to hell without even a chance to come to know him?"

So youre sitting there in the sermon and you think, well what about Sentinal Island, its famously the last place anyone has reached...

He thought maybe he would be the one, what fatal narcissism.

Guy thought he was above the law and went to 'save' people who ironically he very well could have killed by bringing disease. He was a pompous idiot and died like one, yet will likely be honored as a martyr when it's nothing more than glorified suicide. What a douche.

You hit the nail on the head with the belief “so theyve never heard of christ theyre going to hell right?”

This is an incorrect way of thinking and I dont associate with Christians that are this close minded myself. People that think this way tend to also believe the divorced, premarital sex and gay people automatically go to hell. Its a bastardization of everything Jesus said and incorrect.

We should start boycotting them for doing that to a US citizen.
Trump should put a trade embargo there. Would serve them right.
