Tis better to show a man his faults with words than publicly execute him in front of his family with bullets and let his children watch him seize up and exsanguinate in 5 seconds.

that kind of speech ... seriously ...

no but his death doesnt make him an hero ... but again you are choosing the cult of the supreme leader and for that you are a great follower ...

Actually someone trying to make the world a better place and getting killed for it despite the threats does make him a hero to decent people. I didn’t agree with everything he said but he was a hell of a man AND a hero. What supreme leader are you referring to? Trump? I never voted for him. Have a blessed day or bless someone else’s day.

you are writing he is an hero ... and you are asking who s calling him hero lol ... seems you have a problem between posts ...

He was controversial in part because he attacked certain groups and took controversial stands. You don’t want to call that hate, fine. But the same logic applies. Attack someone’s lifestyle loud enough and long enough, don’t be surprised if they push back at some point, although murder is never the answer. Louis Farrakhan says controversial things. If someone reacted to that physically would anyone be surprised? Words carry weight. Words have consequences.

In his faith, he was trying to get people to see truths and challenge their positions. Trans is a social construct and a sin in his eyes.

That’s fine. But when you want to call someone out for living in sin . . . in your eyes . . . do not be shocked if they react negatively.

My experience is with Catholic and fundamentalist Christians, they all seem judgemental and hypocritical to me.

In this case, yes. Many Protestant church's are "fire and brimstone" sermons. Never saw such in an orthodox or catholic church
