When I am approached by someone trying to push their religion on me, I ask: tell me about your own realizations. What kind of wisdom have you been able to glean, from the countless hours you are spending in prayer, talking to God, contemplation and deep meditation? What universal knowledge do you have, that you can share with me? Often they will quote scripture

I simply ask them if they can read the sign which says  PRIVATE PROPERTY.........!!

but Jesus.....some of the guys and girls are darn BIG.   must be getting fed pretty well by the masters

Any 'christians' out there willing to post what they know for absolute fact what rewards are waiting for them in 'heaven?'

Don't quote the bible, as someone posted, you could teach a parrot to do that.

As was quoted in Dragnet;

Just the facts Ma'am, only the facts.

I am not going to quote the Bible which is,in my opinion,just one of the so-called holy books that most monotheistic religions love to quote..

 

As an ancient Greek philosopher once said.."If horses had gods..they would look like horses.."

 

It is all part of an 'Imagined Reality' which is fine as long as you don't push it down other peoples throats...and you can all sit around imagining that it is some core 'truth' which it isn't-and never has been..

 

If one or two end up in the pot..then so be it.

I hope he didn't bring any diseases with him to the island. Otherwise that could be the end of them. What a selfish deluded d*ck. 

 

He spoke of himself as an "explorer":

Apparently a conquistador-like explorer.

 

Ignorant (careless) of the damage he would cause by transmitting disease and determined to convert them to the "One God" in order to fulfil his own vainglorious "mission".

 

Just another selfie clicking virus that I hope they destroyed before it infected them.

All's well that ends well, for the moment.

 

The idiot got what he wanted & is now no doubt sitting on the right hand of the right hand. And the natives got some peace'nquiet for the next couple of years till the next moron arrives to try to kill them with his bacterial & viral infections.

They need to be left alone.  Quite obviously, they don't want to 'be saved'.  Can't blame them.

WE NEED THEM them to be left alone.

Unless they were dragging his body across the beach to a pre prepared hangi cooking pit, for a long pig feast.

Nah, they were just taking him to the burial spot reserved for people like him. The missionary position.

Not really. When he got to heaven, Jesus hid behind the sofa and pretended to be out.

Look, let's not be as bad as he was.

He did a very stupid thing but he suffered a violent death and his family grieves.

Hopefully his legacy will be a lesson to others tempted to do similarly stupid things.

Phonetic punctuation would have helped I suppose.

I love this story! So if he loved God so much, hopefully he didn't go to hell for trying to brain wash people into his BS. I want to read more of missionaries biting the dust. Hate them all. I really do have disdain for most all of them.

Unfortunately some dumb-sh-t will want to go there and tell them they are forgiven

How many times did "missionaries" just pose as spearheads for an army?

sure to get flagged soon for off topic !

Going back right through history, Europeans have managed to destroy most of the indigenous tribes they have encountered. Either through giving them diseases, murdering them and plundering their lands.

 

That tribe maybe considered backward in our view but they are not stupid and know full well that once White men start intruding on their lands, it will be the beginning of their demise. This is why the Thais are so wary of Westerners and will never allow them to gain footholds in the country and quite rightly so.

Who was the African leader who said they gave us bibles and said close your eyes and pray, when we opened our eyes we had bibles and they had our country.

i agree some of the responses are a bit over the top.  Compassion is not practiced that much in life,

and less so by those who have a strong dislike for the actions of a person or specific group.  The "golden rule" has surely been lost somewhere in translation.

I recall a story about a guy who jumped into a lion's enclosure in Kiev zoo, claiming 'if god exists, he will protect me'. He didn't survive and more than ever I believe in lions!

 

When global warming, plastic pollution, air pollution and all the other horrors that the civilised world is inflicting, finally destroys the planet we call home, it will be the 'uncivilized tribes' such as these that will survive and start over.

 

I hope they make a better job of it next time around.

well done Sentinelese people. of course RIP for the guy.

probably one of the last castles of a protected old and and gold tribal life.

and this guy is going there to spread a nonsense fairy tale called Christianity.

clearly those tribes there dont want to contact with modern world.

and I can clearly see why as all those such tribes in Africa for example were enslaved and people are used as slaves by so called 'modern people of west' for centuries and their land is taken.

Sentinelese people are wise. hope they do the same for the next missionary, be it christian, jew or muslim. or any modern person stepping to that island.

leave them a alone!
