Okay, here's the thing. My first reaction upon hearing the news was to suppress my unseemly glee and consider the fact that the man had a family who loved him and friends who cherished him, so it's not like he was the Imp of Satan or anything.
And although I suspect that if he'd had his way, I'd have been rounded up and forced to go to an conversion camp or something, I can't really know for sure what was going on in his head, and so can't bring myself to hate someone who's never actually tried to hurt me directly. Hell, I have a hard time hating people, period.
Then I thought about this, and how, in one of our country's darkest times, the man used fear and hate in the guise of piety to forward his political agenda...
And all I can say is: Good. Fucking. Riddance.
Now if only he had taken his friend with him.
