Quote:Rabbi drowns in the sea as he carries out ritual 'mikveh' bathe on holiday in Wales

Even the fucking baptists know to hold their breath.

He was extremely righteous, gave tons of money to the community, was an example to all, did nothing but good ... and his god still didn't save him.

...oh and by the way, what kind of moron has to swim out beyond waist deep waters simply to immerse his entire body?! What a christard.

Please raise your hand if you have any interest in what this "unchristian-christian" fundy blowhard has to say? Anyone?

I find it taking all my language skills just to work out what he might be trying to say. After that I have no resources left to divert into interest.

I know he's religious and died during a religious ceremony of his own choosing, but he was a charitable man who is now dead. Why are you mocking him? Because he was religious? Because a man pushing 50 encountered rougher seas than he could handle? Do all drowning victims deserve this mockery? Not cool.

I mock him because he was an idiot for doing it. I don't like that he is dead, I don't like to hear about anyone's death, but this was not his wisest moment.

I suspect it's more the irony of a religious man performing a religious ceremony apparently not worthy of being saved by the god he was serving, or something like that. I agree that death is not funny in and of itself and the other factors you cited made this case all the more tragic. It has to be borne in mind that practically 100% of humour is rooted in the sense of relief that it's not you involved.

I'm mocking him, because he caused his own death trying to please a god that very likely does not exist. That's stupid, and I call stupid - stupid.
If you don't think that's cool - I don't give a god damn rats ass. Should Min and I get your permission before we post our own opinions or are are we allotted the same freedom you have here on AF?

Should I get yours before I voice my opinion? Calm down. I said what I thought, everyone is entitled to do the same.
