That would be absolutely fine. What isn't fine, is using the death of a human being to slander a group of people- Comfort wasn't using this as a jumping off point, but as a way to accuse atheists of having meaningless lives- and to advertise a movie that has nothing to do with the afterlife.
It'd be like if I was selling hotdogs, and I did it by filming an ad that was like "christians are pedophiles. Buy some fucking hotdogs!"
There's no connection between the discussion being had and the thing the post opened with.

You might note that we aren't trying to get Comfort shut down on this. As I explained to you yesterday, you're allowed to talk like this if you want. You just aren't absolved from criticism if you do.
Why is it you think your freedom of speech should make you free from that right from others?
