Well, then - what are you complaining about? No one ever really dies, so there's no harm in wishing them death, or finding morbid humor in it. That's why we don't cry at funerals, right? Because dead people go to a "better place" - not disappearing forever...

Lol... Really? The old "Two Babies" trope? I don't know on what basis, but somehow I thought this kind of utter nonsensical demagoguery would be beneath you. I don't know what I was thinking...
No, this sort of cheap propaganda for dim children does not help clarifying your position. Not in a flattering way, anyway.
But earthly life is still sacred and so laughing about the destruction of it or wishing it upon innocent people isn't undeserving of criticism. And also out of respect for the loved ones who lost their parent/child/sibling/etc.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
