   Do I celebrate the death of Osama Bin Laden? No. Am I relieved that the mastermind behind 9/11 and a source of monstrous evil in the world and a threat to the security of the Western world has met his creator? You betcha!

   Woe to those who call evil good
   and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
   (Isaiah 5:20)

   I agree. We shouldn’t celebrate anyone’s death. Just as I pray for those who were killed or had loved ones killed in 9/11, I also pray for Bin Laden and the members of his family. Even though he perpretated many horribly evil acts, we don’t know what was inside him or what may have been the cause of his hatred.

   As hard as this is to say — may God have mercy on his soul.

   This is why my heart has been so heavy since the news. Thank you for such a quick response from The Pope!!!!

   This is something that needs to be said. The crowds celebrating because of his death remind me of the crowds that celebrated the destruction caused by the 9/11 attacks. Totally unChristian!

     The President said the death of Osama Bin Laden was an act of justice. I feel it was an act of revenge for the 9/11 attacks. This is not a cause for celebration, but more for mourning the death of more human life.
