'God, I don't want to die,' U.S. missionary wrote before he was killed by remote tribe on Indian isl

9. I'm sorry he was killed, but as with isolated protected tribes of the Amazon, these missionaries

NEED to leave them alone.

Justifying breaching their protected status and chosen isolation in the name of (ones own) "religion" is not something I will ever condone--not in the past two centuries and certainly not now. He may not have been directly responsible for his own very unfortunate murder, but his arrogance certainly played a role.

He was a true "believer" it appears, so perhaps he will find his "reward" in heaven. His family and friends, however, will only be left to mourn and surely question his actions.
