RIP Bozo
Shame he made it all the way to 93, hopefully it was at least terrifying and painful on the way out

The media isn't reporting on it yet but I'm a friend of the family. He died spinning in a circle on the floor trying to suck his own dick.
"I'm so glad I made it to heaven and am surrounded by all my Christofascist brethren...Sure is hotter than I expected..."

I don’t think anyone has done more damage to the idea of Christianity than this man in the modern age. He is, I believe, directly influenced the decline in attendance in churches. When your biggest hype man for your religion, belief system, philosophy, and/or general vibe is a guy like this you’re going to a lot of rejection of that belief.
The influence of Televangelism I think still has a profoundly underappreciated negative impact on global communications. I honestly think it goes as far back as the radio. We are still seeing it have a decent hold on the net.
Lots of cool pastors with side-cuts and bead bracelets are pushing the same hate but packing it in this weird self-optimization plus prosperity gospel to a lot of people who desperately want to hear something like that. They want to hear that cause life is real bleak these days. I know it’s not a sexy topic, but I think it has had a very large and very bad impact that people don’t fully unpack. It’s real bad folks.
Anyways, I hope Pat got his card declined at the pearly gates.

Even the truly evil sometimes accomplish something good by accident.
But yeah for all practical intents and purposes he's exactly what a pious Christian would consider the anti-Christ to be. A false shepherd who preaches hatred and misery, despises the poor, loves war and the state, yadda yadda.

On the super real man, I think you have a great point. Of course, I don’t think that justifies the harm, and hate that he propagated, but I respect and rock with that larger point.
A big part of why I went atheist wasn't even philosophical or whatever, it's that even if hell is real i'd unironically rather burn for all eternity than deign to taking marching orders from grifting idiots (or people who take their marching orders from grifting idiots)
“Amusing ourselves to death” has particular hatred for televangelists I might need to give it another read.
This week is a fucking banger.
Anyone check on Kissinger?
