To me, it seems obvious, but I don't see it actually spoken about very much.
That is, you look at what Charlie was trying to accomplish and what he had accomplished and you compare that to what the liberals have done and are doing and it becomes very clear who the force of good is.
In the days since his death, based on what I am seeing, I have become very optimistic that his death will serve to hyper energize the right, to welcome newcomers and particularly those that have become disillusioned with the left.
Not only will Charlie have NOT died in vain, his death will serve as a huge catalyst for many good things to come for a very, very long time.
Thank you! This is what’s becoming clear to me as well.
It was really surreal when this all happened. A lot of people were in a really dark place, but I’m watching recent and old debates with Charlie and more people are going to watch those now too. There are many years of footage of him doing what he does for people to see and learn from.
I especially enjoy the debates he did with Michael Knowles, who would represent the Catholic apologetic perspective, while Charlie would represent the Evangelical Christian.
Keep in mind these guys are really good friends, but still would make points in the debates that historically have been the source of mass murder and extreme violence in Europe with the Reformation and Counter-Reformation. But Michael and Charlie remained friendly throughout and after the debates because they both value the freedom we enjoy in America to have such conversations.
They gave us a healthy reminder of what it’s like as children of the Enlightenment to be able to freely have civil discourse.
A lot of people are going to see these debates now and say, “Why can’t we just talk with each other like that and still be friendly?"
I’m more at peace now with what has happened and I know Charlie is on the other side hoping we will invite Christ into our lives more, and share Christ’s message with our brothers and sisters in the world.
Charlie is like a young Obi-wan whose life will serve as an example of how we all can draw nearer to Jesus Christ. Well before this, lots of people have been hungry for that light that’s missing in their lives. That’s what was so hard to see being attacked, but you can’t kill the light of Christ that was in Charlie. By trying to kill it, it only gets magnified brighter and spreads farther.
