Yes, Gordon Hinckley is stone dead, and he's not coming back. Ever. As a God, or as anything else. He's gone now, and PP I don't think there's cause nor justification for being all hateful toward the man. Like the rest of us 7 billion people on Earth, he was doing the best he could with what he had. He happened to be on the wrong side of truth claims about the LDS church, but oh well, almost everyone who has ever lived and died on Earth mistaken about probably a great deal of what they believed, and you and I both will undoubtedly go to our graves wrong about some things as well. Let's let the dead rest in peace.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

Another thought for memorializing him would be to have his body cremated and then mix his ashes in the finishing stucco for the Draper temple.
The members would think it was neat and it would be close enough to the state prison to make me smile.

Good post seth. I think that you wrote well of the dead in this post!
