As I said earlier, I will be very quick to walk away from anyone if I don't think that talking to them will be productive. But with those who I think I can have a productive dialogue with, i'd stay grounded on these principles:
- Yes, Kirk said some things that were hurtful to some people
- No, that doesn't justify killing him
- No, you aren't required to feel sympathy for him
- However, guard your heart against any feelings of glee that he was killed. I won't accuse you of it, but God knows your heart and you will have to give an account before Him, not me.
- Lastly, regardless of what you think of Kirk's words, he was at least doing politics the right way, with words and persuasion. Maybe he could have said some of those words better, but at least he was trying to engage with those who disagreed with him. Do you disagree?
