World Explorer or Christian Martyr? The most isolated tribe on Earth kills Selfie Seeker

(14 November 2018, Andaman Islands, India) John Allen Chau, a self proclaimed world explorer inspired by Livingston and Jesus, was killed by the very tribe of natives he was offering eternal life. According to the BBC in Delhi, Chau bribed six fishermen to ferry him to the off-limits island so he could offer the Sentinelese tribe gifts of scissors, a soccer ball, and Jesus.

In a letter he wrote to his family, this Vancouver resident and Alabama native said he wanted to make contact with the 60,000 year old tribe because "The eternal [life] of this [Sentinelese] tribe is at hand."

This is perhaps one way to combat overpopulation.

I look at the actions of this young man and I see ignorance. His actions were based on a desire to spread his religion to a group of religious beliefs that differed from his. Motivated by what was likely the dogma of his own faith, his choice to mission to these secluded people was a dangerous decision. Dangerous to him, but more importantly dangerous to isolated people who have not been exposed to the possible diseases he carried. Maybe what they did actually saved lives?

Besides ignorance, he was also arrogant. Arrogant to believe that his beliefs were so important that they should now override whatever beliefs currently exist. Perhaps they would be better off not becoming a follower of a religion that has so much blood on its hands? A religion that doesn't force their beliefs on others or risk eternal damnation. A religion that is not centered upon an angry, jealous, misogynistic, murderous, and sadistic deity.
