A selection of comments from WaPo and other sources on Missionary intruder killed by Sentinelese tribe:
So the Sentinelese kill a missionary the moment he lands. No wonder this tribe has successfully survived 60,000 years on their own. They know trouble when they see it.
Someone forgot to tell this guy that historically if you’re going to bring Jesus to a new people you’re supposed to bring an army, and lots of blades and guns to help convince the new people how much Jesus loves them, in case they can’t see clearly on their own or have any silly attachments to any other gods they may have been worshiping for a few thousand years or so
By spreading the word, Christian missionaries think they're saving "primitive" tribes from going to Hell. What kind of God would send people who have never even heard of Chistianity to Hell?
Not only did he break the law, but this man was holding out a hope that he could single handedly convert an entire island to Christianity. However unlikely that would have been, he basically dreamed of carrying out a cultural genocide and erasing beliefs these people may have held
Reading that the Indian govt had created a "buffer zone" to protect these last few indigenous tribes from outside influences gives me a lot of respect for the Indian govt. The Indian govt also gave Dalai Lama and the Tibetan people a santuary in their country in 1959. Deeds are stronger than words indeed!
A willful intruder into the sanctity of the home of other people for thousands of years.
Misguided Christian colonization attempt ignores tribe's collective, resounding "Not Interested."
You're freedom of religion should never effect My freedom from your religion
Christianity depends heavily on dividing humans into the saved and the damned, with the saved free to do pretty much whatever they want to the damned. Scapegoating is built in.
Arrogant evangelical risks killing an entire Neolithic people with diseases to which they have no immunity. The Sentinelese clearly don't want your civilization or your gospel. Unless invited, stay the f off indigenous territory. #AbolishProselytism https://t.co/5cYzyUQg1J pic.twitter.com/M9jISUq9IE

Prof Harari on lies and the Bible:
He's a missionary, not a tourist.

And the first time they met a colonizer, the British kidnapped six Sentinelese, two elders and four children.
The entire group of abductees fell ill. The elders died and the sick children were abandoned with "gifts". https://t.co/vfv1Lg9KeA
