Now drive a stake through his heart to pin him into his grave. We don't want that coming back from the dead.

5 0 ReplyOh noes, not that. A total jackass who was a major contributor to the rise of the christofascists. Good riddance.
4 0 Reply@const_void Doesn't #CBN peddle the prosperity gospel and other heresies?
It is sad that he died but I'm not going to pretend that a network broadcast a fake gospel is a net positive for #Christianity.
4 1 ReplyIf Jesus were real, which he isn't, and if he were alive today, which again, he never existed. I assume he would be flipping tables in every Southern Baptist Convention. Plus all the kiddy stuff.
1 0 Reply@kamenoko As a #Christian, Jesus is alive (just in Heaven, not on Earth) and yes, He would flip tables over both, most likely.

Looks at comments
So I'm guessing rule three is ignored, so long as we're selecting the right target?

Reveling on someone's death no matter how despicable isn't healthy in any way shape or form.
You can choose silence instead of spewing negativity.
5 27 ReplyHe spent his life making it as difficult as possible to be LGBT in this country. He repeatedly spat hatred and vile remarks towards me and my community. I have no remorse in reveling in his passing.

This ghoul did nothing but cause pain his whole life. We don't owe him anything. Your attitude actively cuts paths for bigots. It is much more shameful to say nothing or act like he wasn't evil.
24 0 ReplySir this is Pat Robertson we're talking about. Of course people who's lives have been impacted by his hate are going to be happy
17 0 ReplyBeing happy is one thing, but hating on a dead person is something else. Also It's one thing to say "I'm glad his negativity isn't around" versus cussing him out and saying cynical negative things. There's a balance here.
This is my opinion and my experience that hating on the dead isn't a good feeling for the one saying it and others reading it. These people claim to be morally better? Come on

You can also choose silence instead of spewing self-righteousness.

2 5 ReplyHating on the dead isn't the same as calling out people that do.

I am not so sure that its unhealthy. the man was a bigot hiding behind religion - something that countless bigots have done for thousands of years. a little shadenfreude can be quite healthy.

This is the exact opposite of what to do when someone who has hurt so many dies.
