Sorry for your loss. No, mentions in this thread don't have to be celebrities.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I didn't wish him dead, but 93 is an excellent run and I won't miss him either.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Indeed, never forget what Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell Sr. said after 9/11.

If Hell was a real place, they would be excitedly welcoming this supreme douche to his new home.
SO nice to be rid of this human blight.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
