Is it unchristian to not fell any sort or sorrow or sympathy in the killing of George Tiller?

When I heard of his killing (which was wrong) I didn't really have it in me to feel for the family as I did in the holocaust museum shooting of in the case of thee two soldiers being shot.

Update:

sorry about the spelling mistakes

Update 2:

I don't have any sympathy for murderers if the get killed. Which is probably why I feel this way since abortion is murder.

    I am a sinner saved by God's love and mercy. I can feel sorrow for a fellow sinner who died without the time or opportunity to confess his sins.

    It's natural to feel sympathy for someone like the Holocaust Museum guard who was a kind, helpful person with a son who loved him very much. But Jesus asks us to pity the sinner as well as love the good man.

    No it's not unchristian, your not judging him your just not feeling sorrow for a man you never met. Unlike many of the jerks above judging you.

    I doubt you feel sorry that Mussolini, or other villains for dieing...and thats ok as long as your not judging them or celebrating it. It's more about what you feel than what you don't feel.

    Of course you should feel bad for the soldiers and the guard at the holocaust museum, that's human empathy. Fear not, you seem like a good person.

    it extremely is an exciting question. i think of that it could have been JUSTIFIED yet no longer effective. enable me clarify. i think of it replaced into justified interior the comparable sense that Tiller's homicide of 60,000 harmless babies replaced into justified. in case you settle morally with one form of killing, you may have a stressful time condemning the killing of yet another. i think of the folk who've the right leverage to sentence the killing of Tiller are acutally the pro-existence human beings -- people who say killing is inaccurate on any point, even no count if that's a murderous wellbeing care provider. on the different hand, i do no longer think of the killing replaced into effective, for 3 motives. First, it supplies the media a huge gamble to slant the pro-existence circulate as a team of "proper-wing lunes", which detracts from the crucial message of ways awful abortion relatively is. 2nd, yet another wellbeing care provider (additionally stimulated via money) will step as much as fill Tiller's place. third, and maximum critically, the guidelines that allowed this to take place interior the 1st place are nevertheless intact. To get actual replace, human beings ought to no longer kill man or woman docs, yet they ought to band jointly to hit upon some thank you to alter the guidelines (constitutional modification, probable) that facilitates this practie to proceed.

    You've probably been lied to.

    Tiller did an abortion on a 9 year old that had been raped.

    Hid did one for parents of a fetus with no brain, that would have died within a few days of birth.

    He was helping troubled people do a difficult thing. No one "wants" to do these operations, but they believe it's the right thing to do.

    Not being a Christian, I can't make any kind of judgement on your Christian-ness. But I can say that you admitting to this kind of confirms what a lot of people have suspected all along. You only value a life when that life affirms and/or conforms to your beliefs.

    I just hope you'll some day have a chance to look back at your current attitudes with revulsion.

    Some people simply lack the power of empathy.

    Are you a sociopath by any chance? Do you torture small animals for amusement?

    I agree that it demonstrates a lack of humanity if nothing else. I recommend a toaster bath for you.

    It's not only unchristian, it's un-human.

    You can't pick and choose which murders you approve of and which you don't approve of....
