“They say you should only speak good of the dead. He’s dead. Good.”
The scumbag lived far longer than he should have.
Thats what burns my ass. Why do these pieces of shit never die young?!
Hate and scorn sustains them.
There is no God
They're highly motivated. Because they believe in a wrathful god they know whatever is waiting for them on the other side is going to be unpleasant
Apparently, ~91yrs too long, in fact.
OK now do Joel Osteen next.
And Kenneth Copeland. With fire.
I've never seen a person who looked more like a demon in a skin suit than Kenneth Copeland.
fucker looks like the Edgar suit from Men in Black.
If I was religious I would definitely think he was the devil quoting scripture.
Holy fucking nightmares those eyes
fuck dude that guy's held together with staples and wd-40
Even before I saw that guy preach, I thought he was the creepiest-looking person ever. His sermons and lifestyle don't help.
I have no fucking idea how he isn't dead first with how he looks
"if you gave ~~Jerry Falwell~~ Jimmy Swaggart an enema you could bury him in a matchbox." - Christopher Hitchens (would have said RIP)
Had to chew on this to figure it out.
Enemas inject things, so why would it make someone smaller?
Enemas are used to clear stools. Constipation relief.
Ahh. I get it now.

A classic. 🥰
Prostitution shouldn’t be a scandal. But also, all televangelists deserve to die.
Hypocrisy was the real scandal. Not so much the prostitution. I'm certain there was a ton of anti-sex work judgement to go along with that. But otherwise I fully agree.
It’s the hypocrisy. SW should be legal/decriminalized, but this motherfucker would have preached against fornication while getting a BJ under the pulpit if he thought he’d get away with it.
Took far too long. He got ~70 years more than he should have.
Finally, some good news.
Hell gained another demon today
No we don't want them
The earth was force-fed another pile of garbage today
"Oh well 😀"
Imagine being so shitty that people consider it good news when they hear of your death. I should hope to at least aim for a neutral reaction, or better...
What else did everyone else have for dinner today?

"Encounters" is such a funny way to phrase it. Like he was traveling through the woods on a quest and had to roll on the random table upon which a pack of wolves was also an option.
C'mon epic battle... Epic battle please... DAMNIT! Sex workers AGAIN!
Swaggart "Can I roll to convince the sex workers to leave me alone?"
GM "Sure."
Swaggart rolls a nat 20
Swaggart "Oh no, it looks like I rolled a nat 1. Looks like I have to sleep with the sex workers, again."
Jimmy: “boy heaven sure is hot!” “And why am I in a hot tub of lava next to hitler and Regan?”
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Snorting meth off a gay hooker's butt forever in the afterlife
Wasn't soon enough. Rot in hell.
Rest in piss
Good riddance
🎵 Only the good die young! 🎶🎷
Contributors built Jimmy Swaggart Ministries into a business that made an estimated $142 million in 1986...
... Swaggart said publicly that his earnings were hurt in 1987 by the sex scandal.
Mawww.
Who?
90 years of doing Satan's work, he can go back home where he belongs now.
Don't blame this on Satan.
Jimmy converted to Islam at the last second. He wanted to be surrounded by 72 virgin prostitutes.
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, he was
Ooh, yes, he was
He gave his name to the sin of swaggarcy, of diverting church funds to pay for sex.
Christopher Hitchens on the death of Jerry Falwell
I love at the end: "If you gave him an enema, you could bury him in a matchbox." I think of that every time I hear of another one of these evil fucking dominionists dying.
How’s the temperature down there, Jimbo?
Amen!

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
