John Allen Chau’s name has been splashed all over the news lately, and all over social media. To some, he’s seen as heroic…as some sort of martyr.
The holier-than-thou crowd is putting this guy on a pedestal.
Normally, I wouldn’t give a guy like Chau two minutes of thought, but I’ll make an exception in this case because the notion of raising this guy to a level of near sainthood despite the reality of the situation is so absurd that it simply grinds on my nerves.
Those who are actively elevating this guy, Chau, past any reasonable level are doing nothing but trying to justify their own agenda in a cloaked, self-serving manner.
Where John Allen Chau is concerned…it’s high time for a dose of reality…and here it is…
John Allen Chau isn’t some sort of martyr…
He was an idiot.
About a week or so ago, Chau went to some isolated island inhabited by a tribe of natives that are well-known for not caring one little bit for intruders. In fact, that particular tribe is infamous for KILLING intruders.
Chau, apparently, was a missionary, who delighted in spreading the words of Jesus to anybody within earshot whether or not they had any interest in Jesus whatsoever. There’s nothing wrong with that…people have been doing it for a couple of thousand years, and with mixed results.
The island in question in this case is North Sentinel Island, in India’s southeastern Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and the tribe that inhabits the island, the Sentinelese, of which, according to 2011 estimates, could number anywhere between a few dozen to a few hundred, have been pretty well pissed off since British colonial occupation of the Andaman Islands in the late 1800’s literally wiped out most of the tribal populations that once lived there.
What’s left of the tribe represents some of the very last people on the face of the earth whose way of life remains entirely undisturbed by modern civilization, and it is believed that their way of life has been what it is…undisturbed as it is…for tens of thousands of years.
The island is under the protection of India for a couple of good reasons…to maintain their extremely primitive way of life… to protect them from modern illnesses because they have no natural immunity to such illnesses….and because they have a history of KILLING anybody who comes there.
November 16th, just a couple of weeks ago, was not the first time John Allen Chau had visited the island. Apparently, he went there the day before…bearing gifts for the tribe that included…a fish…and a…football.
There’s your first clue that Chau was clueless.
We’re talking about a tribe of people who survive by hunting, fishing and collecting wild plants. Chau took a fish…to people who spend most of their time…fishing…and he took
them a football…because one can only guess…either such a tribe would be much easier to deal with if they just had a football…of because this Chau fellow believed Jesus loved football.
Now…the response of the tribe to gifts from an outsider of a fish and a football was…predictable…they shot at him with arrows, one of which struck Chau’s Bible…and Chau beat a hasty retreat by swimming back to the fishing boat that had taken him to the island in the first place.
Naturally, for a holier-than-thou sort, Chau was not to be deterred, and that night he sat on that little fishing boat and penned what would be his final thoughts.
“Lord, is this island Satan’s last stronghold where none have heard or even had the chance to hear your name?”
Chau knew full well that going to that particular island was illegal…and in his mind…a higher deity was involved as he wrote, “God Himself was hiding us from the Coast Guard and many patrols.”
Of his initial encounter with the tribe, Chau wrote…“I hollered, ‘My name is John, I love you and Jesus loves you.'” That, apparently, is when the arrows started flying for several reasons…the natives had all the fish they needed right then…they didn’t particularly care for the game of football…they didn’t like outsiders one little bit…and they had about as much use for Jesus as they did for aluminum siding.
In fact, to be perfectly honest, a door to door aluminum siding salesman would probably have fared better on that island than a door to door Jesus salesman given the high probability that while the British were busy wiping out the local population back in the day, the name of Jesus was most likely bandied about, and after being shot at by tribesmen with arrows, a door to door aluminum siding salesman would NOT have gone back to give it another go the next day.
Seriously, does this look like a bunch of people who are welcoming, or willing to listen to anyone?
John Allen Chau, the door to door Jesus salesman DID go back the next day, but not until after writing this interesting passage in his diary…“You guys might think I’m crazy in all this but I think it’s worthwhile to declare Jesus to these people. God, I don’t want to die.”
There’s your second clue that Chau was clueless.
Okay…let’s take a moment here to recap the situation…
There, on this little island, are what remains of a population of tribespeople who were all but wiped out by British occupation who have killed just about anyone who dared set foot on their sand, and even shot arrows at a helicopter checking up on them after a tsunami in 2004.
It is so dangerous for outsiders to go to this island that it is illegal to do so.
The tribe has no interest whatsoever in getting gifts of fish, or footballs.
This guy, Chau, hires a bunch of local fishermen to boat him out to the island where he approaches the anything but interested in Jesus tribe…yelling the name of Jesus…gets an arrow shot into the Bible he’s waving at them while he’s shouting at them and swims back to the fishing boat where he writes…“You guys might think I’m crazy in all this but I think it’s worthwhile to declare Jesus to these people. God, I don’t want to die.”
And then, the very next day…he gets into a kayak, paddles his way to the shore…and…
The last thing the fishermen see of Chau, members of the tribe are dragging his body across the beach and they buried it in the sand.
After what happened the day before…going back for another round was a bit like showing up at Jeff Dahmer’s house with a roasting pan big enough to bathe in while wearing bacon 
underwear.
John Allen Chau wasn’t, as many are purporting, a martyr, having given his life for Jesus. What John Allen Chau was, was an idiot, and I believe the case for that makes itself.
A Martyr accepts death for sticking to a belief, knowing that said belief and/or not denying that belief is, or will be the direct cause of death. That simply is not the case with Chau.
Would Chau be considered a martyr had he stood on the train tracks in front of a speeding train just because he held a Bible in his hand while shouting the name of Jesus? Of course not. Could anyone rightly consider Chau a martyr had he jumped from the Golden Gate bridge while holding onto a Bible and screaming the name of Jesus until he hit the water? No…certainly not.
Would John Allen Chau be considered a martyr by anyone of sound mind had he gripped a Bible, shouted Jesus’ name and jumped from an airplane at 10,000 feet…without a parachute?
No.
What John Allen Chau did was return to an island from which he narrowly escaped with 
his life the day prior after having arrows shot at him by angry tribesmen who have a history of killing outsiders, who have been mostly undisturbed by outside influences since the stone age, and had no knowledge of his intentions, no knowledge of any system of belief other than their own, and knew only that outsiders…on their island…meant their own death.
Those tribesmen didn’t kill John Allen Chau because he was a Christian…they killed him because he was an outsider, who after such a near miss the day before, should have damned well known better than to press his luck again.
THAT makes John Allen Chau…an idiot…not a martyr….but of course there are those out there trying to make a case that Chau wouldn’t have been there but for his belief…and that makes him a martyr. To be honest, I’m not so sure that those who are so diligently trying to bestow upon this idiot, martyr status, aren’t a crew of idiots rowing the same boat and just desperate to find a modern day captain.
Those who are out there trying to bestow martyrdom on Chau are, I believe, simply trying to justify their own holier-than-thou behavior…trying to find a new tool with which to poke at other people. It’s a bit like calling a food processor a helicopter.
For instance, some group called, International Christian Concern, a nonprofit wants to gain attention supposedly on behalf of Christians suffering throughout the world, and wants the tribe to be charged with murder. The group went so far as to state, “A full investigation 
must be launched in this murder and those responsible must be brought to justice.”
Okay…the job is open. Any members of this International Group of Concerned Holier –Than-Thou idiots who would like to go over to North Sentinel Island and effect a citizen’s arrest…please take one last step forward….shout to the tribe your names…tell them that you love them…and that Jesus loves them too. Don’t forget to take with you…a Bible, a fish and a football.
They seem to respond to that sort of thing.
Regardless of what the holier-than-thou crowd claims…not everybody on this planet needs Jesus…and a few handfuls of primative tribesmen on an island untouched by outside influence for tens of thousands of years are proof of that. And don’t even start with that whole thing about “if you don’t accept Jesus you’re going to hell” stuff. I don’t know where a handful of isolated tribespeople wind up when they die, and frankly, neither do I care nor is it any of my business.
Had John
Allen Chau minded HIS own business, he could have potentially annoyed others on Facebook for years to come…but…he not only managed to get the plastered on fake, open mouthed smile wiped from his face, he reached the antithesis of existence for all holier-than-thous by proving that Darwin was indeed correct.
If Chau’s goal as a missionary was to become a martyr to idiocy…mission accomplished.
Let the gnashing of teeth and the quoting of verses begin.
