Is it wrong?
#1
Is it wrong?
Is it wrong that I am not moved by death?

I feel nothing when I learn about the death of another.

Wrong, no. We all handle death in our own way.

Is it healthy? I don't know. It wouldn't necessarily be for me, but I am not you.

When my step-mother died after a battle with stage 4 lung cancer, I did not grieve. I did my grieving while she was still alive.

Everyone is different, dude. Nobody can tell you how you ought to be. Be true to yourself and let the shit work itself out.

CD pretty much summed it up. Everyone is different.

Mind your Ps and Qs, and follow the laws, otherwise no one cares about your lack of empathy.

Do people routinely make off-handed remarks about death, if they're completely unmoved? 
Seems like the unaffected response would be no response at all.

Perhaps death makes certain people more uncomfortable than they realize.

Death is just a natural effect of life. I see no problem with it.

Wrong, no.

It can be ugly and off-putting to others when you are callous towards other people's grieving, though.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

If his indifference goes so far as to wish for more people to be murdered as he did in the aftermath of that church shooting and has since doubled down on, you're a psychpath and I do all I can to marginalize your impact on my life and society. Right or wrong Kitan , I don't care, just don't hurt other people with your attitude. As long as it is just talk, it is a bit disturbing but otherwise harmless. Just don't do anything stupid.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Exactly.

Grow the fuck up.

I cannot hurt anyone with my attitude.

If I have had to learn to deal with the bullshit you and everyone else daily send my way, then certainly you can deal with a little negativity.

I.E., grow the fuck up, or grow a fucking backbone.
