He spent his life making it as difficult as possible to be LGBT in this country. He repeatedly spat hatred and vile remarks towards me and my community. I have no remorse in reveling in his passing.

What a bizarre rant.

How did you figure that?

It's still a bizarre rant. But how did you 'figure that one would be above me' if we've never conversed?

The fact that you know you'd have to dig should illustrate an important difference to you, but also just a hilarious assumption that everyone is as wildly hypocritical as Pat Robinson.

I got that you think being an average consumer is morally equivalent to being a televangelist that blamed 9/11 on gay people. What other funny comparisons like that can you make?

Everyone is a hypocrite at some point, most people don't make a global enterprise of it though. Are you unclear on how that distinction matters?

So besides owning any electronic device what are some other examples of common moral failings that you think equate to Robinson's hateful career? Driving a car?
