Lol, the exodus has surely begun alright. Already this place is turning into a YouTube comment section.

I've come from reddit but am curious, has there been a noticeable change? What was it like before?

Reveling on someone's death no matter how despicable isn't healthy in any way shape or form.

You can choose silence instead of spewing negativity.

You can also choose silence instead of spewing self-righteousness.

Hating on the dead isn't the same as calling out people that do.

[-] stanleytweedle@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Right, their feelings about a dead hatemonger are none of your business so 'calling them out' is painfully self-righteous.

I am not so sure that its unhealthy. the man was a bigot hiding behind religion - something that countless bigots have done for thousands of years. a little shadenfreude can be quite healthy.

This is the exact opposite of what to do when someone who has hurt so many dies.

@const_void Doesn't #CBN peddle the prosperity gospel and other heresies?

It is sad that he died but I'm not going to pretend that a network broadcast a fake gospel is a net positive for #Christianity.

If Jesus were real, which he isn't, and if he were alive today, which again, he never existed. I assume he would be flipping tables in every Southern Baptist Convention. Plus all the kiddy stuff.
