Reveling on someone's death no matter how despicable isn't healthy in any way shape or form.

You can choose silence instead of spewing negativity.

Sir this is Pat Robertson we're talking about. Of course people who's lives have been impacted by his hate are going to be happy

[-] rationalistfaith@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Being happy is one thing, but hating on a dead person is something else. Also It's one thing to say "I'm glad his negativity isn't around" versus cussing him out and saying cynical negative things. There's a balance here.

This is my opinion and my experience that hating on the dead isn't a good feeling for the one saying it and others reading it. These people claim to be morally better? Come on

You should try pissing on margaret thatcher's grave some time.

There are some people who have far too much hate in their heart and the world is strictly worse off for their existence.

Those people are few and far between, but they do exist.

As a Muslim we're not allowed to hate on the dead https://hadeethenc.com/en/browse/hadith/5364

I thought that was shared with other backgrounds. Clearly not.

Yeah, no. Bad people are still bad, even after they have passed. I can't believe anyone would have a problem saying,"Fuck Hitler!" Or Pol Pot. Or Stalin. Or <it's a long list>. People who undermine the norms of society and spend their lives making other people's lives worse should not get forgiveness, even in death.

This is the exact opposite of what to do when someone who has hurt so many dies.

I am not so sure that its unhealthy. the man was a bigot hiding behind religion - something that countless bigots have done for thousands of years. a little shadenfreude can be quite healthy.
