No, none less tragic, because the human life, the thing that makes both evil and good, gets extinguished. Regardless of what direction that particular life swayed in, it could always swing back the other way. Upon death, that opportunity comes to a close.
Sorry? I'm not really getting your point through all that religious smug. Perhaps you could dumb it down a notch for those of us not living in the lovey-dovey world of happiness and joy you seem to inhabit?
Taht siad, you never really met that guy in person or seen him how he normally behaves.. Who knows, maby he's a caring uncle/grnpa or a really fun guy to hang around with. 
So you'd be more than happy to go down the pub with someone on the basis of them being 'fun', regardless of the fact that they're an utter racist, sexist bigot?
Not that there's anything really wrong with that, I guess. I mean, personally I don't tend to associate myself with human trash like this Falwell fellow, but to each their own I always say.
Why do you think someone is hateful towards another just because they disagree?
Oh, I see. Jerry Falwell didn't
actually blame 9/11 on gays and feminists, he just
disagreed with the notion that they
weren't responsible! Thanks for clearing that up for me, matey.
