I didn't even consider the reward. I wonder if the dad will get it.

"How'd you get rich". I raised my son wrong

Is there a reward? Wouldn't it be backhanded if the youth pastor donated the reward for catching the shooter to some Kirk cause.

If the shooter turns themselves in, do they get the money? OwO

Genuinely, WWJD is an interesting thought exercise here.

Without really digging for it, my first guess would be "repent and sin no more." I imagine less turning oneself in to the cops, and more directly asking forgiveness of the ones you wronged. There wouldn't really be a "setting it right" for such an act though.

That's where I can't imagine where things would really go. The feebs would definitely involve themselves anyway, even on the razor slim chance the aggrieved did not.

As much as we very much disagreed (to put it gently) with this hateful brainwashing crusade and are maybe glad to be rid of a prominent source of it, it is still not the way of Christ to be another's executioner.

I'll be honest, I'm struggling here. On one hand Kirk was causing a lot of harm through pursuading the worst sides of people under the guise of "logic." His individual capacity for further harm has been neutralized ("martyr" narrative aside), and that feels like a positive.

But in the end, I don't want to celebrate murder. I wish it never came to this and people had enough sense to have just ignored him entirely. The fact that so many people find this ideology appealing and we've gotten this deep demonstrates a moral decay of our civilization, and in the end he was slain by the monster he and his ilk helped to unleash on us all.

Heh sorry for the rant as a reply. Just thinking out loud I guess.

I'm Catholic. When I was a kid I had to go to confessional and like most Catholic kids we just made shit up cause I mean come on, no kid is keeping tally of all the stuff they've done. So we'd just lie to the priest and try to one up each other with "stuff we did". The priest never told our parents or teachers.

From the pastor calling them in hushed tones from the back room?

I dunno. Agree its a terrible situation.

Not the dude in the Bible, because the things he's supposed to have done are impossible. So probably there was some dude that did or said some things and then got a bunch of folklore attached to him. A certain amount of the jesus story comes from contemporaneous myths - IIRC, a virgin birth was a common one.
