I know the pain of losing loved ones to assassination. Charlie Kirk stood for life, faith, and truth—unashamed of Jesus. Now is not the time to attack him, but to honor his legacy, pray for his family, and ask: Where will you spend eternity? pic.twitter.com/p6zF34CNZD

Her's is the voice of an America I once knew.
Hers is the voice of pre-24/7/365 social media. Sane.
The King has spoken. She is correct and her advice is on point.
Lovin it!
Awesome message. Spreading the name of Jesus in public. A lot of us Christians are reluctant to do that.
If you take your Christianity seriously, it's an exceptionally difficult spiritual discipline, constantly forcing you to say and do things that feel counter intuitive.
Alveda King is the real deal. A gem.
At some point “we” are going to figure out this is a spiritual battle.
She’s pro-life all the way.
Spending eternity is temporizing the essence (Kenneth Burke). What a thing is is represented by where it came from (origin) or where it winds up (eternity). But the point is to represent what a thing is, which is what religion represents by where you go.
It's a sky-daddy thing. The point is the moral component and its effect on who one is in life, for which religion is an allegory.

She might as well say think about how many virgins will you get.
Leftists don't believe in eternity. They believe this world is all there is, and a very large cohort consider this world to be hell. They're going no where, and simultaneously, they've arrived.
Alinsky was correct that, at least with Christianity, living up to our own rules is impossible. That's why we turn to God. It takes constant purposefulness to try and stay the course.
To which I say, "Amen". Beautifully stated. As a Jew, I wish we had a more openly Christian nation as we once did. I don't know how or why stating religion or showing your faith became an unaccepted thing in our regressive world. But I do know this: We were a better nation when at least a large segment of the population felt it had to answer to something that was larger than a negative response on social media.
We had standards- apparent and known to all- when we were a more outwardly religious country. We have no standards now. Not for anything. Not even for responses to someone being brutally murdered in front of his family and the nation.
OK that's nice. But I wish we'd move past this is not Christian or that is Christian. I'm not even positive Kirk was a real Christian. He celebrated the jewish sabbath and was a big supporter of Israel's genocide in gaza. You'd think number 1 Christian behavior would be deploring and being against killing women and kids.
But no matter what my opinion on his Christianity, his assassination was an outrage.
The USA's public morals and public standards war hinges on the Democrat's tortured 1990s defense of Bill Clinton. The left cheered upon getting rid of Republican Senator Bob Packwood for being a "hugger" (1995). Then Slick Willie slipped and slid all over the place, with a longterm lifestyle 100x worse. His Hollywood buddies like Harvey Weinstein likely wanted protection for their fun play time too.
Then, Monica Lewinsky broke the implied Party rules and kept her stained blue dress. The Party routinely defended the indefensible, and in due course, projected its worst sins onto former Democrat Donald Trump.
She’s lovely. Thank you—I would have missed this.
I happen to be an agnostic, but I've mentioned previously that the teachings of Jesus Christ are even more powerful and worth consideration if not adoption if he was just another human than if he was a deity. The normal human reaction to violent attack is rage and violence in response. Jesus preached love for one's enemies. That was a revolutionary concept 2,000+ years ago and continues to be so today.
But we have ample evidence (2,000+ years worth), that to ignore his radical ideas is to perpetuate an endless cycle of killing-retribution-more killing. The usual argument about why retribution doesn't end the killing cycle is that maybe you haven't kill enough/all of them yet. Get back to me when someone actually succeeds at that with no new killing cycles started.
I think this guy Jesus was onto something humans should try as an alternative.
We were a better nation when at least a large segment of the population felt it had to answer to something that was larger than a negative response on social media.
I'd go beyond this. The atheist response to a moral code resting on religious convictions seems to be "you only need to listen to the still, small voice inside you" or "test your thoughts and actions against the standard of human flourishing" - both of which at least put the moral center inside the individual (more poetically, within the human heart) rather than making it dependent on an external reaction as you say.
But it's childishly easy to convince yourself that what you feel, what you prefer, is necessarily morally correct.
In other words, I don't think it's just a dependence on social media that's scuttled our morality as a society. It's also the recourse to individual and untethered "moral" judgments made fashionable by the postmodernists and moral relativists - because ultimately that devolves to "Do what thou wilt."
@planetgeo, "turning the other cheek" only works (eventually) if your assaulter has shame, even if it's in deeply buried miniscule quantities. Even Mahatma Ghandi said that his ahimsa movement generally necessitated an opponent (the British Empire) with some kind of moral compass.
Turning the other cheek doesn't work when your opponent A) doesn't have one and B) wants to enslave or shoot you and everyone like you in the neck and then C) laughs about it.
Amen.
It may have have been more compelling without the candles and the cross. The people who need to hear this will just dismiss her as a religious nut.
Basic Christian doctrine is now considered radical right-wing superstition.
RideSpaceMonkey wants the patina of Jesus while adhering to Norse Paganism. I accept that.

You come up with any kind of Normative Principles for morality yet?
I love watching Atheists explain their soap opera morality. It entertains me to watch you flail.
"...She might as well say think about how many virgins will you get. ...."
The Virgin Nazi says 'No Virgins for You !'
Oh, No you don't.
because we live in a pagan world, Jonathan Cahn notices this, as does Lucas Miles,
they attack him because of their pagan nature
Thank you, Aleveda. Amen.
Where this is going is a national holiday for Charlie Kirk. Question, do we observe Charlie Kirk Day on September 10, the day of his death, or on October 14, the day of his birth? The celebration of life would be better and October 14 Charlie Kirk Day could be rolled into Columbus / Indigenous People’s / Charlie Kirk Day.
if there were a hundred charlie kirks, we wouldn't have this problem, he was bold on many fronts, that are brave because they address truth,
On no - how dare she? Is that what this is about?
she doesn't go along with prog pieties so yes,

Romania. Used to be Dacia. Ain’t no more Dacians no more.
Runner up: European pagans. Maybe we have to wait a few years to see if New Agers become a military force. CC, JSM
Also proof by corollary: MLK. He was nonviolent in part because he knew 10% of the population couldn’t beat the other 90% with violence. Had there been an armed black uprising, there would not be any American blacks right now. CC, JSM
don't know about that, robert williams (who gained too much respect in recent years) was encouraging paramilitary action,
from Havana, in the 60s and 70s, the Panthers didn't really take him up on that,
the Black Liberation Army, did give it a go,
could they have been as formidable as the Provos in Northern Ireland probably not,
Temujin: “ We were a better nation when at least a large segment of the population felt it had to answer to something that was larger than a negative response on social media.”
Yes, and so much of the long march thru the institutions took place before widespread use of the internet. All those professors are Gen X and older, who got to their places and kept righties out by good old fashioned whispering. See for example VDH’s tales from the faculty lounge.
Social media helps the Left coordinate their evil, true. But it’s also the way the Right even know of the existence of other Rightists.
Charlie (z’’l) went out and talked to people in person. But his real influence came from putting those conversations online. That fucking RINO Squish Governor. Cocks telling people to get offline is doing the devils work. CC, JSM
Narciso: the native Irish are a majority on the island and a very large minority in Ulster. Very different calculus from American blacks. CC, JSM
yes its the message as much as the medium, rabbit ear tv is among the worse, (I know they all went digital)
if fred hampton had lived, he certainly had plans, assata shakur, who defected to Cuba, you get a flavor of this in Robert Moss's Monimbo,
Richard Condon's Whisper of the Axe from the other side,
Do they teach "one blood human race" in Piled Higher and Deeper programs nowadays?
That is how you do it. You do it that way even if you might not be feeling it authentically. You do that or you keep your trap shut.
Alveda King has the courage to stand up and advocate for her beliefs. She has been socially conservative, and that hasn't always made her popular with the extended King family. Good for her.
john mosby said..."Yes, and so much of the long march thru the institutions took place before widespread use of the internet. All those professors are Gen X and older, who got to their places and kept righties out by good old fashioned whispering."
I've been thinking about this a lot in recent days. I was a blue collar kid, the first in my family to go to college. I was very surprised at how close-minded many of the faculty were and how not only were many of them skeptical (at best) about American ideals, many were openly and radically communist in their views. I also realized that when I told people back home about some of this, they thought I was exaggerating or even making things up. I realized that I was coming off as a bit loony when I described some of the things I saw on campus.
The interesting thing is that the Left has finally gotten comfortable enough that they feel like they can act out in large enough numbers without consequences. What they did not anticipate is that now a large enough number of the public sees their beliefs for what they truly are and are demanding consequences.
It's going to be messy.
Amen! Beautifully stated. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for sharing that with us. It was beautiful.
You can stop reading something after the words "As an Atheist...". because it will either be asperberger nonsense or fake bullshit ala Sam "Im a jew" harris.
Amen. Simple, truthful, loving.
I wonder if she saw or heard about this sermon and had it in mind when she made her statement.
