    This is assuming he went to heaven. He definitely did not. He’s rotting in hell with Hulk Hogan.

      This is assuming heaven and hell do exist. I’d be pretty ok if this person was just gone forever. I hope his name will fade out quickly.

      I’m ready to forget him forever. Just like most of his lot.

        Remember Rush Limbaugh? Yea, no one else does either. That’s exactly how Republicans go out. They’re quickly forgotten.

        Let me assure you, there is no god, no devil, no heaven, no hell, no angels, no demons. You’re not alive, then atoms arrange themselves, you start being alive, a pattern is sustained, a pattern degrades, then you’re not alive again.

        That’s all there is. It’s just you, me, and everyone else on this planet right now. There’s no invisible sky daddy checking his Rolodex to see if you’re spanking it to tranny porn.

          I don’t believe that either. I personally believe that one’s memory and how it lives on in other people is our final judgement.

            That makes no sense, you’re not alive anymore to be judged. You are gone. If you imagine a dead person partying or having sex, does that do or change anything to the dead person? It’s over.

            However if you meant like in a general sense like the way people judge Stalin or Hitler, fine, but they’re also gone.

      Notice Kirk isn’t on a cloud. He’s about to fall down to the deepest levels of Heck

    • Not all religions and cultures believe in Hell as a discrete place; it’s actually a pretty uniquely Christian (okay and Zoroastrian, leave me alone) eschatological phenomenon. Most world religions really understand the afterlife as a constant for everyone, in the way that if you get on a train and leave one station, you have little choice but to go to the next station.

      In the Bahá’í tradition, ‘Heaven’ and ‘Hell’ are considered poetic (or, if you’re into the Monist / Dualist discourse, ‘fictional elements’) descriptions of the state of any one person’s spirit upon arriving at the afterlife. ‘Hell’ is a state in the way having chronic pain is ‘being in hell.’

      Well, charlie certainly never once did that. He just abused the privilege in order to deny that right to others.

      This comic isn’t about free speech, it’s in reference to a famous quote of his about school shootings being worth it to uphold the sanctity of the 2nd amendment.

      The idea is that after becoming a victim of a school shooting himself, does he still hold that view?

      It’s especially poignant considering he encouraged his supporters to come armed and lauded the Utah law that allowed guns to be brought on campus.

        And it’s not just about the guns, it’s about the types of guns that can be bought and sold openly and freely due to decades of intense NRA lobbying. Assault rifles. No background checks. Etcetera. Add a constant deluge of right-wing rage and outrage content on the internet AND television, us vs them, my side right or wrong, fuck my brother and neighbor.

        Their antivaxxx mentality applies to everything they touch, everything in their daily lives. Reality doesn’t matter, all that matters is that I must hurt all those who are not just like me, everybody on my facebook/twitter/tiktok/whatever says so! They also tell me the sky is about to collapse and it’s all and always the fault of dem libruls!

      Charlie Kirk famously said that some deaths due to gun violence each year is worth it for the 2nd amendment. I have no way of knowing for sure, but I’m guessing he never thought he was going to be one of the victims.

        I used that to fuck with a MAGAt. They said something smug, hateful, and annoying while mentioning Kirk. I said “Not many people get to actually die for what they believe in. He’s a lucky man.”

        Is that praise, mockery, or both? YOU decide!

      Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at a university in Utah. He also was a staunch gun loving ammosexual. He would post pro gun stuff, all the time the US continues to have school shootings. So dead kids with bullet wounds asking the now bullet carrying Kirk if his position was worth it.

      Or at least I think.

        Worse than that. After a school shooting he was asked if that would affect his position on guns. He responded that in order to maintain the second amendment, some gun deaths were “worth it”. Like explicitly said it was worth it. Not paraphrased or taken out of context.
