John B was killed for speaking out against the marriage of Herod Antipas and his brother's wife, Herodias. Herod divorced his first wife to do so.So...the Bible prophet John the Baptist, who is arguably the founder of Christianity, was a man who was murdered over his words about a woman's sex life.
Do you have any thoughts on a prophet from "God" (quotes because I am an Agnostic) being murdered over critical words about a woman's sex life?
Thank you for any & all answers (feeling an increasing nausea feeling haha,)

Yes...I know what happened in their relationship, but as far as his being murdered, his life ending like that at the hands of a woman whose sex life/relationship he condemned and him being a prophet a perishing like that...any thoughts?...

It was about herod's desire and a promise to the girl that pleased him by dancing that resulted in the execution. Bible says that as soon as it was done herod was sorry for the promise he made. Promise was made before the audience that was present for his birthday. Herod could not refuse.
