Listening to young adults explain their love for Charlie Kirk

"But when truth becomes a byword with which to beat our enemies into submission at the cost of real human beings made in the image of God, when we hold no responsibility for vile language as long as we cloak it in the guise of “speaking the truth,” we risk becoming like Pilate, engaging in philosophical wordplay about the nature of veritas before inflicting state sponsored violence on an innocent man."

Genuinely not the take I expected. I'm not religious, but was raised that way and recall a ton of lionization of Jesus as a fighter and defender more so than as just a dude. There were times they'd call him the lamb, but most of the time that was when he was getting crucified so it made sense (in hindsight) to show him that way.
