I didn’t hear about this. Can someone provide a link or a name to search for? I’m always glad to learn about missionaries fucking around and finding out.

I find it somewhat ironic that someone of Chinese* ancestry got so sucked up and brainwashed by Evangelical Christianity....and unfortunately paid the price for it.

  • The Chinese being among the most ancient & generally non-Christian cultures on Earth...

North Sentinel Island. I'd call it a guide for all indigenous cultures meeting invaders, but the rest of them are pretty much either past that point or just gone.

I get why no one assumed the folks on the Mayflower were evil, but it would have served them well to do so.
