So that adventure tourism/missionary type guy who was killed when he tried to trespass on a protected island (one where the people don’t have immunity to the basic contagious diseases) is already being called a martyr by his fellow bible-thumpers.
Also, check out this creepy CIA-style database that evangelicals use to figure out where and what ethnic groups to target for missions
The website lists what percentage of each ethnic group is Christian and what percentage are Evangelical (ie, the “good kind”) with a color coded progress wheel for how well-missioned they are.
It also lists uncontacted and “frontier” ethnic groups, presumably for the hardcore missionaries to seek out.
About the Sentinel Islanders, the ones who the above was trying to contact:
“Pray that the Indian Government will allow Christians to earn the trust of the Sentinelese people, and that they will be permitted to live among them.Pray that God will open doors to Sentinelese people to receive the gospel message.”
god that fucking website is disgusting
an arrow in the face for every christian that belongs to the joshua project
