Christians..... you are not the saviors of the world.

You made me pull up a meme generator on my phone you monster. xD Last meme I swear.

I hypothesize that they are blood drinkers, and that the two elders suffered from blood withdrawal. I think they are constantly giving birth, which explains the beach orgies, and the birth defects that result from the inbreeding is their source of their much needed blood to drink, from which they have become physically dependent, after thousands of years.

There's no way this is a serious statement. Poe's Law strikes again. Right?

So you doubt the validity of the beach orgy sessions and the violent penis shaking towards intruders?

If they don't wear clothes and they start running or jumping around to take defensive positions and prepare to beat back invaders, then yes, things will start jostling around as they do so. And no, I don't think they're engaged in orgy sessions, and I've seen no credible evidence that such is the case.

 

[Shiranui117]

Really? Every single Christian? Literally?

Yes. Up until I came on this thread, anyway. Every Christian I've talked to IRL and online outside of this site has unanimously called the guy an idiot. But I guess when you don't take the time to inform yourself on a group of people, you jump to all sorts of indefensible conclusions about the situation.

I also heard they are cannibals and that they cannot create fire. Now if that's not a disgusting enough combination, I see nothing less disgusting about drinking the blood of deformed offspring due to inbreeding.

...You have to keep in mind that this tribe has been cut off from the civilized world for 40 to 60,000 years. Who knows what they're capable of!

Wow, only 70 posts before someone started on with the "Christians are the real persecuted minority here!"

 

[Cooky]

I mean, is there a set standard for normal human behavior? Most tend to argue that morals are subjective.

Literally none of this is true. There are no records of cannibalism, only rumors propagated by outsiders. We know they use fire, but do so based on protected scavenged fire. The same technology many tribes use to secure embers for years. There is no evidence of inbreeding, with al observations of the natives as healthy and flourishing.

Demonizing based on rumors and fabrication is just another galling example of tribalism.

1: Not having the knowledge on how to create fire isn't "disgusting". Check your privilege. (Wow, I never thought I would unironically utter those words). They can harness fire by capturing some of it whenever lightning strikes the island and then keep it going in their village, but that's about it.

2: Do you have any evidence that they "drink blood of deformed offspring?"

...You have to keep in mind that this tribe has been cut off from the civilized world for 40 to 60,000 years. Who knows what they're capable of!

Yes, and they speak a language that as far as we know isn't similar to anything else spoken on the planet--even people from the next island over have said they can't understand them. And yet some rando American who doesn't know the people, doesn't know their language and doesn't know their culture thought it would be a great idea to break multiple laws, have other people break even more laws on his behalf, step foot onto an island inhabited by people who have been known to kill outsiders almost immediately in many cases, get shot with one arrow as a warning, and still keep walking onto the island! It's Chau's own stupid fault that he died. Satan told him to jump from the top of the Temple because the angels would catch him, and the idiot jumped.

The Christians who play the victim card have never been victims, straight-up. If they want to know what it's like to be a persecuted minority as a Christian, they should talk to the Russian Orthodox or the Catholics and Orthodox in the Middle East. Only problem is, many American Christians don't recognize their Middle Eastern and East European coreligionists as being such.

The Sentinelese do not practice cannibalism


Since colonial times, there's been a pervasive rumour that the Sentinelese are cannibals. There's no evidence to support this, and a 2006 analysis from the Indian government following the death of two fishermen on the island concluded that the group does not practice cannibalism.


"The Sentinelese not eating the deceased is a contradiction to the common belief that these tribes are cannibals," the report said.

Actually, so little is known about this tribe perhaps some are actually trying to normalize them when their behavior seems to suggest that they're anything but normal by our standards. Human morality is subjective -which tends to mean they can behave any way, perhaps something beyond our wildest imaginations.

...Or are you suggesting that moral behavior is objectively the same for all humans?

 

[SalixIncendium]

No. There is a set standard for societal behavior. Even with such a set standard, it is evident that morals can be subjective, otherwise there would be no need for law enforcement or prisons.

"They're not like us. Therefore, logically they have to be evil."

Some days I have difficulty fathoming how anyone can think this way.

Instead of trying to shift the goalposts to an ethics debate you are not actually ready to have, just admit you were wrong and perpetuating false information?

Thus far, I feel as though I can only admit that I was wrong about the cannibalism.

It seems like you're suggesting that morality is subjective, yet at the same time refuse to believe that the subjectiveness is real.

I'm not suggesting anything, but you're to think whatever you want to.

The cannibalism, the blood-drinking, the beach orgies, the "violent shaking" of reproductive organs... Any other outlandish unfounded claims you've made about these people I'm missing?

 

[Cooky]

I'm not suggesting anything, but you're to think whatever you want to.

Maybe you were suggesting that to notice their stark differences does not necessarily mean anyone considers them "evil".

I don't. In Catholicism, one can only commit sin by knowing that what they're doing is sinful. If you don't know, then it's not a sin.

Then atheists never sin, and thus go to heaven?
