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.

[-] Froyn@kbin.social 39 points 10 months ago

They didn't kill him, his God let him die.

[-] Algaroth@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

I like how you think.

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

First thing God's done right in millennia

[-] TheWilliamist@lemmy.world 54 points 10 months ago

What a monumental asshole.

[-] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 51 points 10 months ago

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?

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

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

[-] omgarm@feddit.nl 14 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

"I'm gonna getcha!! Oh wait, nevermind. I felt the gospel in my soul! Thank you Mr. Missionary!"

[-] Algaroth@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Like using muskets to invade Russia in the winter.

[-] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

He is the reason that "Missionary Position" now means facedown in the dirt with a back full of arrows.

[-] steve_floof@lemm.ee 15 points 10 months ago

Was on the “all” feed, clicked the link, read the wiki page, came back to see if this community was “c/dumbDeadAssholes”

[-] Pilkins@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Lol dumbass

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago

Things that you do when you're definitely healthy and not in a cult

[-] Voran@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. LOL.
