Charlie Kirks wife forgives the killer

There is nothing “Christian” about hating someone because of their sexuality.

I don’t believe there is a god. Religion came about as a very useful tool to keep the masses under control.
If I am wrong and there is, I don’t believe it would espouse the awful views put forward by some of its representatives.

We don’t know what he was at the moment.

The republican governor of Utah said he was gutted that he was ‘one of our own’.

His family haven’t spoken publicly so no idea why people are attributing quotes to them.

it’s open season on Christians though. Other religions are off limits when it comes to debate.

I disagree with you there, its how extremists work. I have a dim view on your simplistic view on this. He was a dangerous man and knew exactly what he was doing.

Pretending to believe in God (who by the way, is all-loving) does not take away from all the truly hateful things that man said when he was alive.

I find this response an excellent example of people being not only closed minded but also so full of righteousness they feel their response does not need any explanation, just their judgement.

No why it is 'tripe', no questioning of their feelings or my contribution to this thread, no asking why. At least in my opinion Kirk was better at this than this poster, he at least asked and questioned

They don't believe they are "hating" the person though. They say it regularly themselves, they love the person but hate the 'sin'. There is a real serious problem with people seeing an adverse opinion as 'hate'. It's narrow-minded bigotry to ascribe 'hate' to a person's beliefs. Just because someone has a different view to you, doesn't mean they 'hate' you. Society has completely lost touch with what 'hate' actually means.

You probably came at it with a different prejudgment. I haven’t followed CK or heard Erika speak before and yes I’d say she was grieving rn. Why wouldn’t she be?

Do you honestly think it was genuine, from the heart words? I must have watched something different

A compromise does not need to be reached in how one person feels about something. A compromise needs to be reached in the laws of society for society to work. Disagree with the law, debate the law. Unhappy with the law, fight to change the law. Can't change the law, make the most of it and try to live within it. Don't shoot the people who agree with the law.

I don’t think her words need to be dismissed. She will be grieving.

Did you read the title. His wife talked of God and forgiveness. That's not hateful.

He exploited young college kids for clicks. He was too afraid to debate grown ups.

Honestly, most people with any reasonable level of intellect will see through the absolute circus of last night. That is not to say she is not devastated of course, she very clearly adored him as did their children.

@Hidingbehindthechaos ”preying” on college students? You must have a pretty dim view of their intellect if you don’t think they’re perfectly capable of making their own minds up. He didn’t force anyone to attend his meetings or engage in a debate with him.

And this is the problem.
People who see debate and using words as ‘dangerous’ are the dangerous ones.
Shutting down debate is THE MOST dangerous thing to do. That way, people feel they have nowhere to go with their thoughts and beliefs, so they resort to social rebellion and violence.

It was awful. The horrendously fake behaviour from Trump also, it was so staged its embarrassing. The clips I saw showed her stood up there completely alone just sobbing, its all been staged for maximum impact on viewers. Obviously she is devastated Im sure but in RL she would have had someone who loved her there for support, instead of Trump who didnt even want to hug her and couldnt wait to push her off.

Charlie Kirk was an awful person with awful views and preyed on college students to try and get them to take on his views. People are fooled because he spoke well but he is no different to Trump and the like. The while thing was very manipulative. EK will now continue his hateful work in the name of religion. I hate that these people are given such a platform to spout their extremist views.

Thanks.

No idea why some people insist the killer was MAGA he wasn't. He was radicalised and thought killing someone he disagreed with was the answer.

Good for Erika, must have taken an awful lot of strength to say those words in public so soon after her husband’s murder. Hopefully she’ll be inspirational to many in terms of granting forgiveness instead of seeking revenge.
