Most humans, including you, belong to the 99.9999% of Homo sapiens that are isolated from the much smaller isolated groups left. North Sentinel Island, which is nominally governed by India, is home of one of the very few smaller ones. Its locals number in the few hundreds and have likely been there and rejected outsiders for thousands of years.

Fuck missionaries and fuck evangelists of any kind.

If I want to join your religion, I should do it because I respect its followers, not because they shove it in my face and tell me I'll go to some imaginary horrible place when I die if I don't.
