Remote "uncontacted" island tribe killed an interloping missionary with arrows

Lest we forget the sacrifices Saint Seagate made spreading it’s data across the land.

Meanwhile, the reviews on google maps begin to going bananas…

Agreed, but I place missionary work in a different category than encounters like the story of Michael Rockefeller:

Oddly, I find that much more persuasive. Can we found a religion on it and then not go annoy people about it?

If you teach another culture to be Christian, you are by definition wiping out the native culture and tradition. You certainly don’t have “Indians” when your done. Missionary work is a hostile act. Go talk to the old people on the US reservation about forced boarding school and being beaten for speaking their native languages.

Or whatever gods they worship on that island are the true gods.

They’re called Unitarians.

My main concern is that they will now be bothered even more. Nothing gets far-right Christians’ juices flowing like martyrdom and the possibility of taming or destroying dark-skinned heathens.

The first Anglo settlements in North America were in Virginia.

The whole “pilgrim” thing is basically post-Civil War propaganda, falsely implying New Englanders were here first. Since Reconstruction was abandoned there’s not really any point to it. Happy Thanksgiving :slight_smile:

So kind of like the Posse Comitatus?

I was raised by those people. You weren’t wrong.

Another case of suicide, “death by tribal enforcer”.

Meanwhile, the tribe is having discussions about less lethal weaponry, and training to de-escalate situations with the obviously insane. Other tribe members suggest building a wall.

If only I could greet the Mormons and Jehova’s Witnesses who knock on my door the same way.

ETA no I don’t really really think that. At least so far they have all been polite and good with ‘no thanks really’ and wander off to the next house.

More like maroons running off into the swamps to escape slavery.

I like inviting them to Ragnorack and asking them which of Thor’s goats they want to eat first. Oddly they don’t usually come back.

Talk about not taking a hint. I think this gentleman was perhaps suffering from a more severe problem than perceived cultural superiority. I have fairly recently listened to a podcast about this tribe, he didn’t, I guess. They are not friendly to visitors.
