Looks like the Pagans and the feminists outlasted him

An evil man is dead. I’m not shedding any tears.

    Thank God.

    I almost pity the man – he’s not going to be getting the afterlife he thinks he is. I hope, for his sake and others’, that he’s not going to hold on to his hatred through the next world.

    Mostly, though, I’m just relieved.

    I kind of hold with the idea in Seth Speaks (and elsewhere) that people get the afterlife they’re expecting, for a time, as they adjust to their new state.

    That said, I doubt very much this man is expecting heavenly choirs. People like that have nasty stinky hearts, and they know it, and he was probably expecting some serious hellfire.

    Which I’m okay with.

    I think that the afterlife is a refined/distilled “version” of this world – one we can sort of half grasp the shape of now, and one that possibly has even more refined afterlives following it. I sort of agree that people get the afterlife they’re expecting, but in the sense that our beliefs shape our world. That’s true here; in a world of the bodiless where spirit and matter are by necessity more closely entwined, it seems it would be more true.

    I dunno. I’ve had the misfortune of meeting a lot of Christian fundies, and the self-delusion there is startling. Then again, there’s always a part of us, no matter how buried, that’s never fooled.

    Initially, my thought was that I hope he gets the afterlife he deserves, in the punitive sense. I don’t think it’s wrong to feel that way, but now that I’m calmer, I’d rather Falwell get the afterlife that will lead him out of his evil, though that’ll probably take a while. That man has a lot to answer for.

    I’m looking at it this way:

    I’m not celebrating his death. I’m celebrating the end of his ability to create evil in this world. And I’m celebrating that whole-heartedly.
