He was always pretty dead. Did in his heart, dead in his spirit, that is his politics dead and his bigotry Now he's not simply merely dead, he's just really, most sincerely dead.
Pat is finally with Jesus...not! And he's not with Yahweh, Allah, any of the Greek gods or other false gods before them. Not that any living human will know, and not that Pat's tribe will think differently. Pat Robertson's one achievement was to propagate and worsen the collective human delusion known as Christianity.
The best and only answer to anyone upset about this is to remind the offended about the thousands of victims and hundreds of perpetrator priests in each diocese across the country. The media would do well to respond in interviewed with the offended about their silence over the crimes every time they open their mouths about LGBT people. Remind them that not only have the crimes been happening for centuries, they are continuing to this day and despite their claims that itβs a minority of priests, the whole institution works to aid and abet the criminal priests by covering up the crimes and moving the perps around. Stop tiptoeing around the predatory organization. So what if many people are Catholics, if theyβre not willing to hold their religion (the source of their so called morality) to account for its abhorrent behavior, the rest of us will. Rightfully.
The scariest thing to an Ultimate Being are guys dressed as clowns.
Seriously, any affront to a religion is perceived as an affront to the one who has taken offense. C'est-Γ -dire, if God is so offended, let her set things right.

At the end of the day, it comes down to people who have convinced themselves their religiosity entitles them to a say in other people's personal choices. There really isn't much of anything an outside group could do to damage the reputation of the Catholic church that would come anywhere close to what the church has done to itself. Bill Donohue is a pathetic old fool who has literally made a career out of being a professional victim.
Absolutely fucking π§πππ¦!!! And when they attempt to do so, we need to tell them to ππ¨ππ π’ππ in no uncertain terms, and that their choices and sensibilities are not shared, nor do they have to be.
--Newly announced presidential candidate Mike Pence claimed the Dodgers βshould be apologizing to Catholics across America.β--
Why don't Pence and all the other high-profile evangelicals apologize for labeling Catholics Satan-worshipers, "not true christians," and on and on, then?
I seem to recall something in the bible about "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
The Catholic boosters whining about the Dodgers should reread this. While daily reports come of abusive priests, they point and rail at drag queens. If you compare the records of these two groups, the priests are definitely "winning." Their list is much, much longer! In fact, I don't believe there's even a list for drag queens!
The one thing the Catholic League (and by extension, the RCC) have NEVER been able to do is keep their own house in order ... yet they feel as though they have the right to muck with everyone else's house.
More offended religious snowflakes coming to the rescue of a figment of the imagination.
Your Jesus told you to pluck out your eyes if you saw something that offended you, Christians. What are you waiting for? Start plucking. You really DO believe in Jesus and what he said, don't you?
Did Jesus say anything about proving one's faith by jumping off the roof of a 20 story building, knowing God will save you? Oh, that's right, they didn't have 20 story buildings back in the days the bible was written.
Personally, I think the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are a HOOT ... and the Catholic Church (and Bill Donohue in particular) are a bunch of persecution-minded snowflakes who can't deal with this brand of diversity. Mike Pence taking the side of the RCC only adds absurdity to the mix, as Pence has about as much mass appeal and associated persuasive power as could be put in a Lilliputian thimble.
Yeah, the Dodgers could have handled this better ... but the RCC and the Catholic League aren't really "handling" it at all, which is remarkably predictable.
The authorities still don't treat anti-LGBT violent threats like the terrorism it is. Though there don't seem to have been threats of violence, *yet*, in this particular case.
I've had that same thought more than once lately. The Proud Boys seem to be waging a concerted effort against any kind of recognition of LGBT students by schools, and a VIOLENT effort at that. Why hasn't DOJ branded them a domestic terrorist group, and why aren't they being investigated as such?
He was also a writer and actor on the sketch comedy "Mr. Show with Bob and David," as well as "Arrested Development" and "The Sarah Silverman Program."
Unfortunately, they've had 1700 years to break the kiddo habit. That they have not done it in all that times tells us they have no intention of ever doing so.
I remember Jack Fertig "Sister Boom Boom" being interviewed when I lived in San Francisco in the 80s. When they were asked "why dress do you dress up as Catholic nuns?" Boom Boom replied: "Because, if we dressed up like Methodist ministers, who would notice?"At the time I was serving my first church while I attended seminary in Berkeley. the church happened to be the local Methodist Church in the City's Castro district (Market Street at 16th and Noe).
I was one those Methodist ministers he was talking about!
Apologies for an OT so early in the day, but... I rather think everyone could use a bit of good news:

Pat Robertson has executed the career change we all wished he would've years ago. He's given up his position as a TV host, and taken up a π―π¦πΈ position- just opened up, π΄π±π¦π€πͺπ’π for him- as the host of a π¬π€π§π’ πππ£π¦πͺππ©.
Rot in pieces, you evil bastard.
He was always pretty dead. Did in his heart, dead in his spirit, that is his politics dead and his bigotry Now he's not simply merely dead, he's just really, most sincerely dead.
So, the most sincere response is: ding dong!!!
Or β as someone said about Thatcher. "They say you should only speak good of the dead β Margaret Thatcher is dead β good!"
Waiting for the autopsy announcement: Broderick Rune has no heart.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Pure coincidence, this morning DM jokingly talked about buying champagne π

OT - Pat Robertson, mealy-mouthed misguided messenger for a non-existent deity, has died at 93.

It was nice to wake up to a bit of good news for a change.

Not that any living human will know, and not that Pat's tribe will think differently. Pat Robertson's one achievement was to propagate and worsen the collective human delusion known as Christianity.
Pat is NOT ... plain and simple.
Personally, I kinda hope there is a Hell for him to spend the next 3-4 centuries in.
93 years too late.
Where's the end of the line to dance on his grave?
I hope they install a urinal.
What about the women?
Don't worry, someone already found a solution a few years ago to allow us to pee while standing.
Wrapped around the circumference of the Earth about 500 miles back.
Dammit, beat me to it!
Who takes over as cryptkeeper now?
Apparently, his son, Gordon, took over a couple of years ago.

Billdo the Dildo calls the Sisters an "πΆπ―π±π³π°π·π°π¬π¦π₯ π’π΄π΄π’πΆππ΅ π°π― ππ’π΅π©π°ππͺπ€π΄."
I realize that history must not have been your strongest subject, Billdo, but your beloved Church's π¦π―π΅πͺπ³π¦ π§πΆπ€π¬πͺπ―π¨ π©πͺπ΄π΅π°π³πΊ is more than sufficient provocation. It'd be damn fine provocation for a πΈπ’π³ against the Vatican (or, let's be honest here, several dozen of them). A little mockery directed at the penguin population is downright mild compared to the ππ¦π’π΄π΅ of what the RCC truly deserves.

Because the Proud Boys look too much like what most LEOs see when they look in the mirror.
There probably are LEOs who are Proud Nazi Boys.
