One less asshole to worry about.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, no. Bad people are still bad, even after they have passed. I can't believe anyone would have a problem saying,"Fuck Hitler!" Or Pol Pot. Or Stalin. Or <it's a long list>. People who undermine the norms of society and spend their lives making other people's lives worse should not get forgiveness, even in death.

It's disgusting that you would draw a direct equivalence between the hatred, suffering, and trauma caused by this man, and the expression of natural human emotions that harm no one. Any difference between, "I'm glad his negativity isn't around" and any other expression of joy exists only in your head.

Shove your put-on airs of moral superiority where they belong. Adhering to any individual aspect of hadith might make you a better muslim but it doesn't automatically make you a better human being. You're using your religion to alienate yourself from people, you're weaponizing it. If you can't come up with an argument that isn't divine fiat, shove it. Just shove it.

These people claim to be morally better? Come on

You are saying that the people who are relieved they are not going to be abused and subjected to degradation and dehumanization by this man any longer are morally equivalent to this foul, evil man, simply because they dare utter their relief. And you're not just gossipping among your muslim friends, you're actually saying it to their face, like you have some kind of fucking personal moral authority on the subject that a stranger on the Internet is going to possibly respect.

Fuck you. I don't need to be told by a divine being that you're not being a good person. Your posturing and true motivations are obvious. There are moral cowards who hide behind every religion. I think you have more in common with Robertson than we do. "One should not speak useless words."

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"automatically make you a better human being" according to you.

Clearly, the way you type and lack of decorum, reason, patience or moral character make your judgements unreliable. In fact, someone who behaves so despicably like yourself, that hates me is a compliment. If you have such reprehensible attributes that means I have the opposite, Hamdou'Allah

Checkmate.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

My, you sure showed me. By totally ignoring the content of my criticisms, you have completely disproved them! Amazing. Truly I have been "checkmated" by an intellectual giant.

The only thing your comment served was your own emotional needs. It did not communicate a single useful thought. You could have said, "I know you are but what am I," and it would have had the same meaning and gravitas.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Time is limited and discussing with some as angry as you is fruit-less.

On top of you making no substantial points but insults.

Maybe try typing in a sensical civilized way if you want a civilized discussion.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hating on the dead isn't the same as calling out people that do.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Right, their feelings about a dead hatemonger are none of your business so 'calling them out' is painfully self-righteous.

@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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

@kamenoko As a #Christian, Jesus is alive (just in Heaven, not on Earth) and yes, He would flip tables over both, most likely.
