Because if the answer is "a"...

I'm a strong believer in Karma.
Mr Falwell was not a nice person.
I'm not going to rejoice that he's dead. That's not nice.
I'm sure as Heck not gonna throw myself on his pyre, either.

By the By, it is also fun to point at Chris and laugh at his spelling errors. But that's another site, another story.

Oh, dear. One of those.

Are you aware of the whole "Dear Buddha, give me a plastic rocket" joke from Serenity, a movie starring Nathan Fillion and based upon a short lived television series called Firefly?

Well, it all starts there, and trickles...as they say...downhill.

*pats BDN on the shoulder*

Chris really didn't have his hands in his pants, dear.

But you knew that, didn't you?

Holy Cow! The most important detail and I overlooked it!

Thanks, FMF for backing me up.

How remiss of me.

And I second the "needs more fiber" comment!

But you just go right back to feeling superior. Jerry'd be proud.

Falwell may have harmed others in this life, he may have encouraged others to hate, but don't we ask God to forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us?

How about relief at the death of others? There are evil people in the world who never hurt a fly but teach and incite others to hate and hurt. And when they die, it feels like relief.

It doesn’t matter how you whitewash it. It is hatred of a man for his religious beliefs. That’s what it comes down to. Whether one describes it as pleasure or relief, in the end, it is gratification over someone’s death simply because one doesn’t agree with his religious views. If we were talking about someone whose actions had hurt other people, such as the case of Saddam Hussein, I would be inclined to agree with you, but I refuse to accept that someone’s religious views alone should make them such a source of hatred that anyone would find relief in their death.

Mr Fallwell had the right to preach anti gay and anti liberal rhetoric through freedom of religion. Don't be rediculous and think that because someone died...that all the people he offended will sit in silence. I'm not gay, but if I was, I'd be happy that someone who said my very existence is wrong...has finally gone on to judgement. Remember the Munchkins and the witch. Ding Dong blu-blah-blah-blaaah. Anyway...you get my point.
