Life is precious. Having it stolen from you by stone age savages accomplished nothing.
Spot-on.
“...Either way, they’re grossly inbred, and mired in illiterate, lawless savagery. ...How about this — everyone just leave them the **** alone?...”
Exactly.
It’s a dumb-ass way to die.
They didn’t want him there. He chose to go in spite of that.
Boom. Foregone conclusion.
I think someone mentioned this earlier.
Think about the fact that these people have existed in this way for thousands of years, add to that they are as inbred as you can get. Given that their IQ is about as low as you can get.
These people are beyond any type of reasoning as we know it and we cannot apply modern civilization standards to them, they are incapable of ever understanding the concept of murder or anything else. Certainly not religion or the concept of God, they just can’t.
If that guy thought he was going to go there and introduce Christianity he wasn’t thinking. He gave his life for nothing, all you can say is that they at least buried him. On another island or situation they might have eaten him.
If there had been anything on that island that was worth anything, their ancestors would have been the end of the line.
True that.
When someone doesn’t want you visiting... and lets you KNOW as much the first time... you go visit someone ELSE.
Watch the movie "End of the Spear" or read "Through Gates of Splendor" and get back to me .
Or Google "Mincaye Auca".
I’ll pass. We just believe differently. Thanks anyway, though.
So you're saying that you've removed it from your Lifetime Bucket List, and moved it to your ****bucket List?
You betcha!
The authorities can’t even get the guys body back!
Gather all the data available before making your final decision...
As I said, we just see it differently. Thank you, though.
God & Jesus have known all along about this remote island & the remote tribe that inhabits it.
I am pretty sure this tribe may have been there since BEFORE Jesus.
God may have drawn this ‘missionary’ to go there.
However, God also knows he is there.
He died doing what he wished to do.
Let him rest there.
Leave those tribesmen alone.
