jebus stop those heathens from killing him? I guess Dog wanted him dead? That's the only logical explanation for one of their ilk. They must see it that way or their belief system is a total sham. So why are they seeking retribution for an act of Dog?

Just figured it was more goofiness.

My fear was that Trump in his quest for a "win" and a war would invade that poor island.

but I am glad that the Sentinalese had developed bows and arrows to repel the invader.

Guess there isn't a thing that the religious don't claim they have a right to ruin because they claim they are doing gawd's will.

like poster #1 I am happily godless.

It is the duty-obligation of the narrator to go to the island and take up where Jon left off.

That Jon Chau won't be the last Christian missionary to visit the island - and meet the same fate. Bring on your own end times! Have these RW Christians ever heard about self-fulfilling prophecies? I, for one, am not an atheist - but I do believe in the marriage of faith and reason.

They're going after anyone connected to getting him there. Not the people defending their land from a hostile invader. Maybe they can get Interpol involved so certain Talibangelicals here in the US can be arrested and face charges in India.

to bring about the end of the world. The fucking fundies are willing to destroy the world and take everyone down for their pipe dream. It's maddening!

did Jesus/god not realize that the “god created” germs would kill one hundred million people when they got to the “New world” with their sword and cross? Or is Jesus sitting in his Father’s mansion saying, “My bad. My bad.”
Also, like many grown children that return home, Jesus is probably sitting in his father’s basement playing video games and eating Cheetos.
