I'm seeing a lot of differing opinions from the #LGBTQ Mastodon community about Pat Robertson dying.
While I certainly have no sympathy for the man, I find it absolutely grotesque how many people are going out of their way to celebrate his death.
Relief and indifference are acceptable responses. But if a human being dying elates you, you might be due for some serious introspection, because that seems to me to be the first step down a very dark path.
To dehumanize our enemies is to become them.
@LouisIngenthron There is certain evil in this world that we are powerless to purge—because we value human life. So we avoid the evil and pray for those harmed by it. When fate finally takes the evil away, it is most definitely reason to celebrate. I feel no guilt. Think of it like Ding-Dong the witch is dead!🎶
@adriennelacava Killing and celebrating death aren't the only ways to purge evil. They're not even in the top 5.
@adriennelacava You'd be very fucking wrong, so take your self-righteous projections and assumptions elsewhere.
