Sear,

Perhaps we can have a chat.
That is nearly poetic. However, no matter what a man does here on earth, here in time, it is my firm belief that there is no special cauldron of judgment awaiting him in the hereafter.

However, if there really is such a thing as reincarnation, then refer to Tadpole's hope for the man, and realize that he might just cycle back into our lives, and have another chance at things. Perhaps Jesus will tell him how to love and as justice, he can be born to be one of the kind of people he showed no tolerance or equality of thought for.

Perhaps.
I don't think it's spontaneous.

Harsh, contemptuous judgments invite harsh, contemptuous judgments.

If Falwell didn't want to be so thoroughly despised, perhaps he should not have been so thoroughly despicable.

Falwell was only mere flesh and blood, like any one of us.

What we wait to see brought to its death, is the idealogies of hatred, of arrogance, of power lust and rabid religiosity.

Perhaps Varhlow expected better of us, than to come down to the level of exercising the same vile judgments and mean-spiritedness as had held Falwell in bondage.

Perhaps if there is life after death, he can see clearly now. Let us not lose our clarity of vision marking his end on planet earth by borrowing from his own small and evil spittle.

Exactly right.

I detested the man while he was alive. Why would that change because he is dead?

Truthfully, the kind loving side of me hopes that, if there is an afterlife, he finds forgiveness.

But the kind loving side of me wishes that for Sadam Hussein, Ted Bundy, & Zacarias Moussaoui too.

The less forgiving side of me hopes that they all burn in Hell together.

I understand CF's and akuma's point.
Quote:
"for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galations 6:7
If Falwell had preached love, he would have been beloved.
But the Reverend Falwell preached contempt, harsh judgment* and divisiveness. His postmortem criticism is the inevitable, natural harvest of the seeds of contempt he's sown.
Quote:

Agreed.
It's a metaphor OD.
I don't seriously believe in a physical manifestation of Hell.

But Dr. Falwell was an evangelical Christian (or claimed to be. It's not my job to judge who is a true Christian, and who is not.).

My rude insinuation was that Falwell might not be headed for the acquisition of wings; but instead, perhaps horns; again a metaphor.

I twisted the metaphorical knife by suggesting that his sinning was so profuse, he might actually end up "sharing a cauldron" with a "sinner" like me.
It's about as rude as I can get, without severe physical coercion.

* A gay teletubby!? Really?!

I wonder if heaven is a holding place to deprogram folk???
Before they come back to get some better karma going on.
Maybe some folk go there and have to hear on repeat for ions of time the song, "If loving you is wrong, I don't wanna be right"

I wonder who would work at this "heavenly" deprogramming facility.

Ex-CIA guys?
Former Baathist torturers?

If god didn't want individuals to have the bizarre thought processes they do, then why did s/he give it to them in the first place?

I suspect the notion of divine creatures (which we all are ...) being reworked, to correct intrinsic flaws, is a contradiction of the entire concept of divinity.

Sear,

I must say, I alone am the Spelling Sheriff here. Got that, Buddy?

Now if you want to correct me, that is nearly like making a citizen's arrest. Just remember, you might have rights, but it is mine alone to have the DtT handcuffs.

And once you arrest me, know I will be watching you like a hawk.
