    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

      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

        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-upon 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.”

        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.
