Philosophical/religious question
With current events in the world, I see a lot of people celebrating the death of specific individuals, as well non-specific peoples. For example, the leader of Iran would be a specific person, and non-specific would be seeing a group of soldiers hit by a missile.
Does this strike anyone else as messed up? And against most religious/moral frameworks?
For example, Epstein. Even if 5% of what we know is true, he probably deserved the death penalty. But I'm not going to dance on a man's grave. Same with folks like Timothy McVeigh, Ted Bundy, and others. Or even people like George Floyd, or the kid who punched a cop in the car and got shot. Or even Alex Preti, and the other lady, shot by ICE. I see people mocking these deaths, or worse.
I think there is a difference between viewing someone's death as justified, or disagreeing with their actions that led to their death. But I think once they are dead, that should be it. To celebrate it, just seems crude and unGodly.
