It's an obituary of a co-worker/employee, right after his painful drawn out death. It's not a professional biography or a profile. It's ostensibly intended to comfort the bereaved. I truly don't understand a worldview where instead of a) not writing anything at all or b) saying something like "While I strongly disagreed with his religious beliefs, but as a co-worker and employee of many years, he was....", something like this was written.
In case it's not clear, the vitriol was solely based on his being an unapologetic Christian. Not at any overt acts as an employee.
- jijijijij 3y agoHave you considered those left-behind to be those who have been hurt, too? Addressing the bad may allow them to process mixed, or even "shameful" feelings about someone's passing. Feelings they can't voice, because of your "you can't speak ill about the dead". > was solely based on his being an unapologetic Christian I have my suspicions what's implied by this... and how that may be perceived as indeed very hurtful and destructive to some.
