Today I learned that this person died.
He’s been gone a little while. He died a few months ago. I had a Google alert set, but it didn’t work, or went to junk mail, or something.
I mused in that earlier post that I might write a little more about him when he passed, but I’m not really going to. As with nearly anyone, there are innocent people who are hurting as a result of his death, and today there is less room in my world view for the slight possibility that I might cause them additional pain than there was when I wrote the original post in 2012.
I also don’t wish he’s in hell (though part of me still wants to). He was made in God’s image, and is as eligible for God’s forgiveness as anyone else. And God doesn’t check with me on the states of others’ hearts.
I do know that he’ll never say or do anything in this world again. He’ll never have another thought and then soil the world with its physical manifestation. I am thankful for that.
(Probably even that’s bad, but it’s the best I can do.)
