As much as I would like to fashion a neon sign and throw a little ill will their way, I hope everyone ignores his death...and the rest of his life for that matter. It would be really easy to make them go away. Alas, the media won't let the fact that they aren't really Christians stand in the way of a good "Christian bashing" story.
I didn't mean to purport that they would understand, just that those who hate them would be allowed a field day. I really don't care what any of those people think or feel or believe. #1 because I believe they are at least somewhat deliberately disingenuous. #2 because they are obviously suffering from some sort of shared delusional disorder.

Making a spectacle out of his death is not something that I condone or would want to participate in. But it could be considered a reasonable and tolerable comeuppance of sorts. I certainly wouldn't bother with expressing any outrage if it were to happen.
