Okay, here's some thoughts that's been meandering in my mind today. Maybe some questions for intelligent debate ... for some deep thinking?
If people are allowed to be their authentic selves, and our thoughts create our reality, and there's no such thing as an "accident" in the universe, why wouldn't Dylann Roof fit under these categories?
How does one say what took place was right or wrong if the bigger picture isn't known? Is there a bigger picture? Did our thoughts create this? Did an all seeing God create this? If so, why was it created?
How do we know that what created this ideology of being authentic (our desires?) didn't create the desire within him to be the same? Can an invisible line be drawn for one but not another?
Can we put a degree of hurt on anyone just because death was involved? Isn't death only a physical thing and the soul is eternal? Isn't loss still a loss, even if it's a loss of an old way of thinking not just a life? Are we all guinea pigs in this bigger picture? After all, many people believe that Jesus was used, and his life given, for a bigger picture. Correct?
Is one to be allowed authenticity, due to their actions creating a worldwide controversy, yet another isn't?
Is our reasoning logical? Is our logic reasonable?
I'm not defending his actions, by any means, but remember the saying, be careful in what you ask for, because it may not go the way you think it should?
