    ^ Agreed. At least he had a quick death and didn't suffer. My guess is a stroke.

    My sympathy to his friends and family.

    He never looked like a healthy man.

    My prayers are with his family and congregation.

    Good point.

    We need a separate D&D that you have banning immunity from.

    May he rest in peace, however, he fomented nothing but hate, especially towards gay people, and I will raise a glass to his passing when I get home this evening. For his sake, I hope God isn't gay.

    I never heard him preach a sermon, not did I ever get involved with his group.
    So other than the headlines I don't know that much about him as a minister.
    I hope he was a very good dad and husband.

    I am confident he knows more about God right this moment than the rest of us and I hope he was prepared for that.

    God bless his family.

    Same for me, minus the 'rest in peace' part.
