Christian Missionary turns to Atheism

This youtube video, "Christian missionary deconverted by tribe", by Daniel Everett, is about how he was a christian who went to a place in Brazil so he could live with a tribe called the Piraha and witness to them. However, it backfired. He ended up converting to atheism. According to Everett, " The Pirahas were only concerned about the present day, not the past or future." They didn't have a creation theory nor did they believe in an afterlife. They only believed in what they saw. One of their biggest objections to Christianity was the fact that they could not see Jesus. They were comfortable living with the present and ok with not knowing what the future held. He didn't like the fact that he was going off of blind faith.

I do not agree with this Christian missionary. We know Jesus lived, died, and rose again because of the Bible. We trust in Him. I like the fact that I know I'm going to Heaven when I die because I believe in God, I know I'm a sinner, I believe that Jesus died on the cross, and I know He rose from the dead. Because I have given my life to Christ, I have peace in my heart that no matter what happens, I'm going to be ok. I love the fact that I can trust in God for everything. I do not know how the Piraha do not question how life got started or why they're living or what happens when they die. I think the reason why he changed to quickly is because he hung out with them too much. Let me explain, say you're hanging out with some people that may have a bad influence on you. You may not be doing what they're doing, but you're still probably going to be wavering in your beliefs. That's probably what happened with this guy. "Christian Missionary Deconverted by Tribe."
