yea, there one second gone the next

Well? What did it say?

something about us having more couth

Yeah he was lecturing us about bad mouthing that son of a bitch.

i'm a she, and i dunno, just thought some of the stuff was poor taste being the guy just died. not that i agree with what the guy has done throughout his life.

I got that reasoning from my parents.
basically something along the lines of 'let the dead lye" or something

That said, from the evidence one can dig up on the man, he professed a doctrine of fear, hate, and exclusion.

He made God out to be antagonistic and vengeful, which I am sure many people disagree with.
supp
I am frankly not attempting to drag his name through the mud now that he is dead and cannot defend himself. I am just agreeing on how his support of apartheid was abominable and inexcusable.

In case you missed the memo, death often confers many positive attributes/justifications for the sh!tty stuff said person did while they were alive.

I saw the memo and tossed it in the trash where it belongs.

what he is trying to convey to you is that in a person's obituary often the skeletons in their closets are not brought up out of respect for the dead.

you don't respect that, fine.

You're dealing with children here, remember.

Nope, if someone's a POS when they're alive, I'm not gonna be singing their praises when they're dead.

I would like to ask, what do you beleive is behind why we, as a society, show such 'respect' the dead?

Is it based on regilious morality, humansitic morality. or something else (Battle Royale Rules)?

Jsut asking...

Right.

There are plenty of us who have been dragging his name through the mud for being the trash that he is for years, his death will not end that.

Nobody did, it's a figure of speech 😕

Fin?

I feel bad about this but my primary reaction is that I'm relieved that he won't be in the public eye "representing" fundamental Christianity anymore.

Just dance around the uncomfortable stuff...

Like Hitler's obit would read:

The devoted Chancellor, husband and dog lover passed away this April 30, 1945 surrounded by his closest friends at his Berlin office. Known for his devotion to his country and the advancement of various technologies to improve travel over unimproved ground and previously closed air routes he will undoubtedly be sorely missed. Thought his decisions could be called unconventional by some he clearly commanded the respect of his friends, family and followers.

It's because he's reached the ultimate state of defenselessness. He'll never be able to stand up for himself again.

Illogical. The words and actions he took while he could still take them are enough. We need not provide an opportunity for him to explain away statements that were very pointed and not taken out of context or otherwise dishonestly represented.

Yes, Falwell is comparable to Hitler. 😕

Be reasonable.

That assumes many of us would hesitate to say the same things in person to him while he was living. I for one would have no such hesitation.
