Exactly.

DP. To be fair, you’re misrepresenting Christians on this thread.

PP was pretty accurate:

"Christians love to play the victim"
Someone, presumably a Christian, posted multiple examples of Christians being "persecuted" in other countries.

even when they are victimizing others.
Multiple examples of Christians missionaries victimizing vulnerable people have been shared on this thread.

Both can be true

Maybe Christians wouldn't get killed as often if they weren't trying to proselytize in areas where they aren't wanted.

Well, this man was doing what he thought was right. He was not a performative Christian; he didn’t just copy a scripture onto his facebook status. He wanted to help people and knew he was very likely to die.

“I think it's worthwhile to declare Jesus to these people. Please do not be angry at them or at God if I get killed ... Don't retrieve my body." -He wrote this in his diary.

The Sentinelese have repeatedly attacked approaching vessels, whether the boats were intentionally visiting the island or simply ran aground on the surrounding coral reef. The islanders have been observed shooting arrows at boats, as well as at low-flying helicopters. Such attacks have resulted in injury and death. In 2006, islanders killed two fishermen whose boat had drifted ashore.

The Sentinelese are known to have scavenged both shipwrecks for iron.

The first peaceful contact with the Sentinelese was made by Triloknath Pandit, a director of the Anthropological Survey of India, and his colleagues on 4 January 1991. Although Pandit and his colleagues were able to make repeated friendly contact, dropping coconuts and other gifts to the Sentinelese, no progress was made in understanding the Sentinelese language, and the Sentinelese repeatedly warned them off if they stayed too long. Indian visits to the island ceased in 1997.

The Sentinelese survived the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and its after-effects, including the tsunami and the uplifting of the island. Three days after the earthquake, an Indian government helicopter observed several islanders, who shot arrows and threw spears and stones at the helicopter.

I don’t know why the people on this island are voluntarily isolated, but it can’t be a very pleasant life.

Moral of the story: don’t push your religion on anyone.

The tribe the missionary was trying to contact kills anyone who visits their island, even accidentally. They have killed fishermen who accidentally washed up on their island. When another ship became disabled and had to go ashore on the island, it was a very dangerous situation and the Indian government had to rescue them quickly.

While I don’t think anyone should force anyone to do anything, it’s ridiculous that in 2024 an island exists with inhabitants who immediately kill anyone who even accidentally lands there. The people on the island attack anyone and any helicopter, ship, etc that gets near the island. They can retain their culture and traditions and not kill anyone who comes in contact with them.

They have the right to autonomously rule their own sovereignty.

They don’t need white Christians to force their morals on others.

I agree. If they want to kill anyone that is not from their tribe and think violence and death of innocent people is right, that’s their choice. Nobody has a right to make them not kill people. that’s how they have lived since the start, and it makes sense to them. Their religion probably tells them that’s how to deal with outsiders.

So let's say the religion says to sacrifice children and torture virgin girls before marriage, that is fine with you. Because it's their tradition.

Human rights violations are not ok.

They can defend their borders though.

Murder is a human rights violation.

They aren’t murdering their people.

So if I murder somebody from Canada, that's OK?

You're so twisted that you really have no business criticizing others, and that includes missionaries.

Or you're a troll. Tell us, how many times have you spewed bile on this thread alone?

We are a different country with different rules. They don’t want outsiders. That includes people trying to push their religion on them.

Again, they have the right to autonomously rule their own sovereignty. And they don’t need white Christians to force their morals on others.

(Similarly we don’t need that here in our country)

“Bile”? Well I guess you could describe the truth about missionaries as disgusting so that could apply.

Got it. You think murder is better than Christianity.

You are one sick, bigoted puppy.

DP. I am trying to find the spot where PP says what you claim. It's not there.

100% strawman.

100% strawman.

Murder isn't murder if you provoke an isolated tribe, according to pp. That's not a straw man.

Apparently it's also not murder if they kill their own people or abuse children under their own laws. They have their own morality and we shouldn't judge.

That is exactly the opinion expressed.

DP and I'm the poster who you claimed was putting up strawmen. This is absolutely correct. According to atheist pp, murdering strangers is A-OK. It's probably the same poster who said (since removed) pedophilia in some remote tribes is A-OK.

This person is either a psychopath or a troll. I'm voting for troll, although it could go the other way.

The people on the island attack anyone and any helicopter, ship, etc that gets near the island. They can retain their culture and traditions and not kill anyone who comes in contact with them.

They have the right to autonomously rule their own sovereignty.

They don’t need white Christians to force their morals on others.

I agree. If they want to kill anyone that is not from their tribe and think violence and death of innocent people is right, that’s their choice. Nobody has a right to make them not kill people. that’s how they have lived since the start, and it makes sense to them. Their religion probably tells them that’s how to deal with outsiders.

So let's say the religion says to sacrifice children and torture virgin girls before marriage, that is fine with you. Because it's their tradition.

Human rights violations are not ok.

They can defend their borders though.

Murder is a human rights violation.

They aren’t murdering their people.

So if I murder somebody from Canada, that's OK?

You're so twisted that you really have no business criticizing others, and that includes missionaries.

Or you're a troll. Tell us, how many times have you spewed bile on this thread alone?

We are a different country with different rules. They don’t want outsiders. That includes people trying to push their religion on them.

Again, they have the right to autonomously rule their own sovereignty. And they don’t need white Christians to force their morals on others.

(Similarly we don’t need that here in our country)

“Bile”? Well I guess you could describe the truth about missionaries as disgusting so that could apply.

Got it. You think murder is better than Christianity.

You are one sick, bigoted puppy.

DP. I am trying to find the spot where PP says what you claim. It's not there.

100% strawman.

Murder isn't murder if you provoke an isolated tribe, according to pp. That's not a straw man.

Apparently it's also not murder if they kill their own people or abuse children under their own laws. They have their own morality and we shouldn't judge.

That is exactly the opinion expressed.

I didn’t say any of that either. More strawmen. We have a whole army of strawmen for you to tear down.

And you really shouldn’t judge anyone.

"Christians love to play the victim"
Someone, presumably a Christian, posted multiple examples of Christians being "persecuted" in other countries.

Multiple examples of Christians missionaries victimizing vulnerable people have been shared on this thread.

Both can be true

Maybe Christians wouldn't get killed as often if they weren't trying to proselytize in areas where they aren't wanted.

Well, this man was doing what he thought was right. He was not a performative Christian; he didn’t just copy a scripture onto his facebook status. He wanted to help people and knew he was very likely to die.

“I think it's worthwhile to declare Jesus to these people. Please do not be angry at them or at God if I get killed ... Don't retrieve my body." -He wrote this in his diary.

The Sentinelese have repeatedly attacked approaching vessels, whether the boats were intentionally visiting the island or simply ran aground on the surrounding coral reef. The islanders have been observed shooting arrows at boats, as well as at low-flying helicopters. Such attacks have resulted in injury and death. In 2006, islanders killed two fishermen whose boat had drifted ashore.

The Sentinelese are known to have scavenged both shipwrecks for iron.

The first peaceful contact with the Sentinelese was made by Triloknath Pandit, a director of the Anthropological Survey of India, and his colleagues on 4 January 1991. Although Pandit and his colleagues were able to make repeated friendly contact, dropping coconuts and other gifts to the Sentinelese, no progress was made in understanding the Sentinelese language, and the Sentinelese repeatedly warned them off if they stayed too long. Indian visits to the island ceased in 1997.

The Sentinelese survived the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and its after-effects, including the tsunami and the uplifting of the island. Three days after the earthquake, an Indian government helicopter observed several islanders, who shot arrows and threw spears and stones at the helicopter.

I don’t know why the people on this island are voluntarily isolated, but it can’t be a very pleasant life.

Moral of the story: don’t push your religion on anyone.

The tribe the missionary was trying to contact kills anyone who visits their island, even accidentally. They have killed fishermen who accidentally washed up on their island. When another ship became disabled and had to go ashore on the island, it was a very dangerous situation and the Indian government had to rescue them quickly.

Countries kill others to protect themselves. This is no different.

Troll or psychopath. In a post denying you said murder is OK, you repeat that you think murder is OK.

I’m sorry you struggle with reading comprehension but I never said murder is ok.

There are many wonderful, peaceful, tolerant, and charitable Christians. Christian missionaries however, are none of that.
