The right to express oneself does not sets free of responsibility for the public reactions. 

1. One example is literature: 

Goethe: The suffering of the young Werther - by romantisizing the suicide of a joung man who had follen in love with a married woman some readers followed this example and really killed themselves

It surely was not the attantion of Goethe to influence people in such bed manner, but he unfortunately did. 

 

3. Much higher is the responsibility ofcourse in policy. We Christians can only pray that the confict with Russia calms down.
