anyone else getting the "don't cheer for death" posts?
My feed is blowing up with these. Yes I don't think we should cheer killing people in most situations but I think it is ok this time.
Like these:
Are we cheering for a man's death?
Bin Laden's death doesn't avenge the lives he took. he's still a human life & a soul that didn't know Jesus. and that should be mourned.
As human as I am I know I def feel bad. I always pray for the terrorists bc I know God could change their hearts. I wish more

HAH
No.
What holier-than-thou bullshiit.
There's nothing wrong with that. But you wouldn't be like "You guys suck for being happy".
I understand. I wouldn't say I am Happy about it either. The word that fits for me is Relieved. Yes, I know there are other "boogymen" Yes, I know the man had very little power left. However, I do feel Relief that his particular poison is no longer in effect. I feel relief that there is some closure for the families of all the 9/11 victims and everyone else affected by his actions.
Exactly. I understand feeling that way. But some of these people are getting preachy about it.
Does death in general make me happy? No, of course not. But this man was responsible for so much radicalism and hatred, and is responsible for thousands and thousands of deaths, and his organization has ruined the lives of so many young Islamic boys who might have had a shot at a bright future, but instead they were brainwashed into becoming killing machines and self-perceived martyrs. So no, in this case I feel absolutely NO remorse because I feel happy that someone is dead. None.
Not only that but he is the reason that my husband joined the Army. 9/11 was the event that changed DH's life, and Osama was the person behind that. I am SO happy that he was caught (whether he had been killed or not) before DH gets out in a couple years. I feel like he, and so many others who joined for the same reason, will have some kind of closure now. I don't know if that makes sense. I'm typing and crying at the same time. LOL

The Buddhist in me is more sad that the world is such that there are people who feel the need to express the hatred and rage they suffer in the ways that he did.
In general, I hurt that there are "souls" who suffer this hatred he did and aren't able to make peace with the suffering that is part of life.
Oops sorry, almost got up on my soapbox there.
Sorry if I was one-I just retweeted a quote from Derek Webb that said: Don't celebrate death, celebrate justice.
Not sure if that's the type you're talking about but it fits with the way I view the situation.

Wood you? Wood too!
No, totally not what I'm seeing. I'm cool with that type.
I'm seeing "he could have been shown Jesus" type things.
Agreed! I think your quote is perfect MrsOKD.
Yeah, I evidently have a nice mixture of opinions. I have those and I have the F U, we finally got you.
::Stands up and applauds Leslie::

I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
I'm not sorry he's dead, and I don't blame anyone else for being happy a mass murderer can't cause more harm. I'm not really sure what Jesus even has to do with any of this, but whatever.
But what I'm honestly feeling right now is deep dread and fear of what might come next. My husband works in a high rise, downtown in a major city and takes public transportation every day to get there. I'm terrified for the pay back, and that's all I seem to be able to focus on right now. Not to say I would have it any other way - I think justice was done, and the CIA/military forces involved did exactly the right thing.
I'm just scared for what's to come.
I have 1- and she said, "i have no pleasure in the death of the wicked. Ezekiel 33:11"
And a ton of her friends are liking and applauding it.

Isha, I feel exactly the way you feel. When Saddam was killed, I felt sick to my stomach. Perhaps it's the inner Catholic coming out in me and not believing in corporal punishment. I've always been so conflicted on that because I do feel some people deserve to die for what they've done, but I also feel they should rot in prison for the rest of their lives and be made miserable. While I feel some sense of closure for Bin Laden's death, I also feel really uneasy.
