I don't like her; to me, she was, like her husband, a cheap crook and hustler. I'm an agnostic, so I think the people who were taken in by them were poor, pitiful fools, but I do know sincere Christians, good-hearted people, and she and her husband (and other tawdry grifters like Swaggart, Tilton, Popoff, etc.) gave, and still give, the Christianity of worthy people a bad name. Still, she didn't murder anybody, never sold drugs to anybody or robbed a bank at gunpoint, she never lied her followers into a war. I saw her image on TV the other night, and it was shocking indeed. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Out of basic human compassion, I hope she's at peace with herself and can take comfort in whatever version of God she may now believe in. I hope when her end comes, that it's easy for her.
