Yeah, because the Christian, moral, ethical thing to do would be to release the deceased's name, address, work address, private photos hacked from Facebook, etc.? And then call her a murderer? Yeah, I can see how that goes with Christian values to exacerbate a family's grief.

If you think she's a murderer then it's your duty to say so. If you think there is a fire, it's your duty to say so. Nothing is more unchristian, more spineless then compromising your morals for people's feelings

It's not MY duty to call anyone a murder ~ or yours. That's really not your call to make. Unless you consider yourself God?

Wait. Don't answer that last part.

I don't think you think through the implications of your words. In this society we judge and condemn murderers all the time. You're not going to say "It's not my place to judge" when someone murders your child, or even someone elses child.

Exercising kindness does not require compromising one's morals.

You can't, nor should you, be kind to everyone.

In these situations, I think there is much to be learned from reading (or re-reading) and pondering the story of "Jesus and the Woman at the Well." Nothing is gained from cruelty, but much is lost.

There is nothing cruel about honest. Perhaps not nice or kindness, but not cruel either. It's just honest.

I hear cruelty in your words, and it saddens me deeply.

What you hear is honesty. And stop lying, you're not saddened. You're throwing around political posturing and being dishonest.
