This all depends on if you think evil people should suffer and die. I don't, but I suspect you do, so you probably shouldn't cast stones here?


Everyone dies. Anyone can get cancer. The sun rises on the wicked and the righteous equally. The great inequality of man spoken of in the Book of Mormon is not realized until after this life ends. The spirit world is a more segregated than any place you'll find on earth. But this is not the work of a vengeful God. This is the best He can give some according to the law they are willing to live. I honestly don't want to see anyone suffer. My compensation for the abuse and mistreatment I've endured through this life comes through Jesus Christ. I don't need to get even with anyone.

Contrary to principal Liza Sejkora, Kobe Bryant's death was not karma. You might get away with wishing a painful death on a conservative talk radio host but you don't get away with wishing it on a black NBA start even if probably did rape a girl. You'll lose your job for tweeting something like that. This world is screwed up.

There is little doubt in my mind that conservative hate talk radio did a lot to pave the way for the election of a vile person like Donald J. Trump, and Rush was among the worst and most influential. There is little wonder that Trump felt obligated to give him a medal.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Are you griping about the east end of the parking lot that is roped off to be Mormon Heaven? You know Heavenly Maintenance only did that in response to an LDS demand for segregation, right?

You really need help. The sad thing for you is that you feeling this way doesn't effect Rush at all. It only hurts your own spiritual well being. I hope you can clean up your mind before it's too late.

Oh, the humanity!

I'd forgotten I wrote this until I revisited this thread. It's not like I'm obsessing about the guy. When I think of him, I think, yeah, that guy deserves whatever pain he gets. And then my mind wanders somewhere else.

Wouldn't it be deliciously ironic if I took your view of the death seriously when I don't even take your view of life seriously?

Your track record of being wrong makes all of your warnings pretty funny to me, ajax. So, ya know... don't stop. It's good entertainment. What else should I fear?
