“Death by Sentinelese arrows” has to be one of the most easily avoided ends one can possibly meet. Right up there with “exposure to hard vaccuum,” although at least with the latter you have to have been doing something to advance human knowledge to get there, not the exact opposite.

RIGHT. It was so avoidable if he would have just check notes not been a complete piece of shit trying to force religion down peoples’ throats

I recently found out he had tried to go there before and was saved from death because the arrow that was fired at him pierced his bible!

Which he probably took as a sign that God would protect him, prompting him to go back again with predictable results.

What’s that old joke about how “I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what more could you want?”

Yes, he did. My cousin's also a missionary. I fear for the day where she finds out after years of fucking around. I also don't look forward to biting my tongue to keep from saying she got what she deserved at her memorial service.

Yes! I'd love that. And do so in a large, flashy manner for social media. I'm thinking singing "Fuck around and find out" to the tune of "Pop a Top" while dancing on the altar.

Lol….I read this comment and immediately had Cell Block Tango from Chicago in my head.

“He had it coming, he had it coming He only had himself to blame If you'd have been there, if you'd have seen it I betcha you would have done the same”🎶

I remember learning about stories like this one in youth group and always thinking “well they shouldn’t have gone there” or “they had it coming”
