We felt like we had to weigh in on Charlie Kirk's death and the cultural reaction to it. Bear in mind: THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL EPISODE. We take a look at what people have said about him for good and ill, but our focus is not on Charlie Kirk but on Jesus Christ. This is in no way a praise session for a person, political leaning or ideology, nor is it a slamming session.
