I am not as kind as you, Padre, so I will say it ... he was a bigoted, hateful bastard and I'm glad he's dead. Sadly, though, the poison that he spread for his 90+ years lives on in those who followed him, who believed those hateful words he spewed.
Jill, I agree with every word you said. Not only was he like that publicly, but many people, including high level employees at CBN and Regent University testify to that. My purpose here was to damn him with his own words. The world is better off without him here. Sadly, as you observed, that spirit will remain for many years to come, in those who followed him directly, and the fascist and theocratic Christian Nationalist movement that has captured the GOP by being Trump’s loyal ally.

Though the quotes you listed were copious, the man in question received all-too-much
air-play while he lived. I would have preferred not to read them before bedtime.
With any luck, I will awake, and devote myself to counter each and every one of his
sick thoughts in the morning. Starting the day with Yoga! That should help heal my
wounded spirit and tone my aging body!
That sounds like a good plan. I just had my nightly glass of wine before my two fingers of Irish Whiskey.
Peace,
Steve
