Robertson was one of the most prominent and influential Christian broadcasters and entrepreneurs in the U.S., equal parts religious leader and culture warrior.
Being 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
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 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.
He 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.
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.
Sir 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

You should try pissing on margaret thatcher’s grave some time.
There are some people who have far too much hate in their heart and the world is strictly worse off for their existence.
Those people are few and far between, but they do exist.

As a Muslim we’re not allowed to hate on the dead https://hadeethenc.com/en/browse/hadith/5364
I thought that was shared with other backgrounds. Clearly not.

Hating on the dead isn’t the same as calling out people that do.
Right, their feelings about a dead hatemonger are none of your business so ‘calling them out’ is painfully self-righteous.

@stanleytweedle @rationalistfaith But you can’t?
I chose not to spew self-righteousness.
@stanleytweedle How is judging somebody else for not celebrating death anything other than self righteousness?
I don’t care if you celebrate or not. Reprimanding others for not sharing vacuous sentiments about death is the self-righteous part.
…and then you say: ‘You’re self-righteous for saying I’m self-righteous!’
@stanleytweedle
> I don’t care if you celebrate or not.
If you care so little about whether or not people celebrate death, why do you care so much when someone says to not celebrate death?
Because it’s self-righteous, we’ve been over this.
@stanleytweedle How is it self-righteous?
This is the exact opposite of what to do when someone who has hurt so many dies.

What a bizarre rant.

How did you figure that?

It’s still a bizarre rant. But how did you ‘figure that one would be above me’ if we’ve never conversed?
