Hell is not about dispensing man's retribution for what other men did on earth. It’s eternal separation from God because of failure to accept Jesus‘s sacrifice for our sins, and the only unforgivable sin is knowingly rejecting that sacrifice. Knowing that God forgives what I consider to be unforgivable is the toughest thing about being a Christian in my opinion.

I’m not celebrating his death. If he truly is a Christian he is with Jesus right now and if so, I believe he is having to give an account for his actions on earth. I feel terrible for his wife and daughters. No one should have their family ripped apart by gun violence. I will note that the vast majority of Americans want reasonable laws passed to lessen the likelihood of that happening to more families. And he vehemently advocated against that in his life. No reasonable person thinks we can take that number to zero, but that is not an argument for doing nothing. According to his own words Kirk believed an absolute right to the 2nd amendment is so important that the deaths of thousands of children are acceptable to protect it. He spent his life sowing hate towards marginalized people; people who are my friends and family members, my patients, and my (and his) brothers and sisters in Christ, so no I do not mourn him. But because I am called to love him I am struggling mightily right now. My eldest daughter, who is one of the strongest and most faithful Christians I know, told me last night she is questioning her faith because of all her friends who are posting about what a tragedy this is when they never had a word to say about Uvalde; or El Paso; or the Pulse nightclub; or any of the church/mosque/synegogue shootings; or the MN assassinations or school shootings. Or even the CO school shootings from yesterday. And who attacked her for saying why she does not mourn him. Note she didn’t respond to their posts expressing their grief but felt compelled to post replies to her on her timeline She has never said anything about questioning her faith to me and she has gone through some very trying times. And I don’t have anything to say to her that doesn’t feel hollow and trite. And that breaks my heart I will leave you with a quote from Charlie Kirk, which I can only assume shows us how he would want us to feel about his death, unless his whole professional life was a work: “I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that — it does a lot of damage, but it is very effective when it comes to politics.” “I can’t stand th empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that — it does a lot of damage, but it is very effective when it comes to politics.”

The point stands that he advocated for 2nd amendment over the safety of children. In his own words. You claim to not know anything about that. If true it’s willful ignorance on your part. and bullshit the right didn’t say that to victims’ families. Our piece of shit governor literally told the families of Uvalde it could have been worse Finally, we don’t know who the shooter was or their motivation. I find it very disturbing this could go off and the shooter seemingly disappear into thin air
