    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

          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.

        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.
