Marcus Lamb, founder of the Daystar Christian TV network, dies of COVID-19

[Nithavela]

Suppose if Marcus had been your spouse, child, parent, close friend, then they would have worthy of your compassion.

Oh, that's right, he was your brother.

Pretty sure he's not closely related to most people who frequent this thread.

He had diabetes and was clearly vulnerable. Are we rejoicing over deaths now?

Only the ones who were unvaccinated. Those prominent vaccinated people who die from Covid are mourned.

One can have sympathy for people whose foolish behavior led to their demise. One can also have sympathy for the survivors of people that caused harm to others. There is no need to whitewash such a death.

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

 

[Tinker Grey]

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

And how does the lord view the death of the evil.

 

[BBAS 64]

And how does the lord view the death of the evil.

He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked...

The reactions here don’t seem to reflect that.

He made his choices and faced his consequences -- we can only hope his followers have learned from his mistakes.

Is it good when evil is removed from the world?

 

[cow451]

And how does the lord view the death of the evil.

ouch

Reality is more complicated than we would prefer at times.

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

"saint" with a lower case "S" ........

He decided to sow the wind. He reaped the whirlwind.

 

[Hammster]

I wonder why we don’t get these types of articles on the 99% of the people who get Covid and don’t die.

Just kidding. I don’t wonder.

Only the ones who were unvaccinated. Those prominent vaccinated people who die from Covid are mourned.

You rejoice over the deaths of the unvaccinated? And "Those prominent vaccinated people who die from Covid are mourned".

Wow, did you really just write that out loud?

We know who would have gloated over incarcerating others today in ghettos and later camps (and are saying these things now in Australia). They say things like you just said.

 

[RestoreTheJoy]

He was even more foolish in that case. I pity his poor decision-making and those that followed his example.

You - and I - know nothing about him, his medical conditions (except the diabetes was reported) or what recommendations his doctors made. So to judge is the foolish thing to do here.

Since they don't die ......

Did I tell you about the unvaccinated 30-ish guy I know that was training for a marathon when he contracted COVID? After six months, he can't walk more than twenty feet without resting due to the scarring in his lungs. Then there's his heart failure. He can't work and is applying for SSDI. But, hey, the guy didn't die, so no worries. BTW, he now recommends everyone get vaccinated. He hadn't been vaccinated because he was young and in peak physical condition and "never got sick".

 

[RestoreTheJoy]

If it increases the average IQ of the planet, sure...

Yikes. Rejoicing over the death of anyone is evil.

His public statements were very clear:

Lamb had hosted a series of vaccine skeptics on his television program and claimed that the truth about COVID-19 was being censored.

Now, what was your point?

 

[BBAS 64]

Is it good when evil is removed from the world?

I guess that would depend if evil has a purpose or not.
