Robertson was one of the most prominent and influential Christian broadcasters and entrepreneurs in the U.S., equal parts religious leader and culture warrior.

    I don’t need to demonstrate it, you already did.

      @stanleytweedle That’s true, I guess “go google a word” counts as demonstration 😂

        The demonstration of self-righteousness was preaching to strangers about how they should feel about a dead person. If you genuinely don’t understand how that is self-righteous, well… that makes this even more fun somehow.

          @stanleytweedle Is it self-righteous to also preach to strangers that killing people is wrong?

              @stanleytweedle It’s a cognitive dissonance test. They’re quite fun to do.

              You’re saying that telling people what to do in one case is self-righteous, and I’m wondering you think that applies in all cases.

                So you think the act of murder is comparable to how one speaks of a dead person?

                  @stanleytweedle Nope. Red herring (and strawman) fallacy btw.

                  Still curious, is it always self righteous to tell someone what to do?

                    If binary thinking is all you’re capable of I’d say you should err on the side of caution and just never tell anyone what to do. It’s more complex than that but clearly this is your limit.
