That sentiment is why the West is getting trampled on by violent people who don’t share this creed. It is utterly nonsensical. Left wing pacifists, even ones who aren’t religious, have drawn their ideology from this moral sentiment.
Since I am no longer involved with the federal government, and in this field as a 35L, I am not going to be tasked with finding the killers or determining how and where it was done. What would you have me do? I can only pray for the liberation of both the perpetrator and the offended. If they find them, then do what the law prescribes. If not, I pray they learn that this is wrong and don’t do it again.
I didn’t say it would happen, I didn’t say everyone should, I just know that is all I can do now. If you can do more to stop this type of thing by finding them and punishing them, may there be wings to speed you before they do it again. But everyone knows what needs to be done, and my saying it on a board doesn’t increase the odds of it happening. And I have to answer to my God. At the moment, they will have to answer to theirs whether their God likes what they did or not. I can’t change that. Even with my own prayers for stopping this from further pain.
