While I can say that I was no fan of the man and the things he said, I also don't think it's right to revel in the death of anyone. It is not a cause for celebration, but rather should be a reflective moment. I understand the impulse, but I think we should strive to do better than that.

He lived a long time.

Nah. I'm reveling. He terrorized the LGBTQ+ community for decades. Good riddance.

Actually, if you believe some of the woo-woo he pedaled, it is a time to celebrate, since he's now been granted eternal life. But that's none of my business anyway, and whatever you believe, we all should be happy.

Yup. It's just a shame we had to put up with him for this long.

That's the funeral equivalent of "Sally was punctual" for an employment reference.

That’s more than he would have given many of us or those we love.

Maybe the PP meant these kind of prayers...

 

[Dan Murphy]

He was a pretty slimy character.

 

[mefordis]

Imagine making it to 93 years old.

Quotes attributed to him were hard to tell if real or parody.

This is a great post!

This is a great post!

It’s the best I could come up with without delving into forbidden topics like religion and politics.

I forgot he was still alive.

 

[Southernmiss]

I learned he was groomed as a young man by his father and his cronies to be the man he became.

I forgot he was still alive.

Me too.

Paraphrasing what Bette Davis supposedly said about Joan Crawford: “You should only say good things about the dead. [Pat Robertson] is dead. Good.”

Happy Pride Month, y’all!

Same. I thought he died years ago.....

Nah. Some people don't deserve that.

Nah. Some people don't deserve that.

It's not about them. It's about us.

I remember times in university, coming home super late flipping the channels & somehow landing on him.

This is over thirty years ago and I still remember a young wife & mother phoning in because she was being physically abused by her husband. Obviously was looking for help and compassion during a horrific time. She was trying to balance the sanctity of marriage with it all, in her head (sadly as it was obviously unsafe).

Mr. Robertson without skipping a beat told her to stay in her marriage & simply pray for her husband. A la that will do it. Left her with passages. Counselled her just to work it out with him.

I remember my mouth aghast like it was yesterday.
