Is that supposed to scare me? FAIL I find rejoicing in death about as offensive as it gets. What part of "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us is hard to understand? Here, ya go. Since you failed to do so (already got enough brownie points?)....Ping to Jim Robinson. There is a LOT to like about this forum. There are a few things that disappoint and dismay me. I'll point them out when I see them.

I find rejoicing in death about as offensive as it gets.

We SHOULD rejoice in the deaths of human scum like (short list here) 0sama bin Laden, the Assahollah Khomeini, that little North Korean runt Kim Jong il (when he finally croaks off), Mullah Omar and those Taliban scumbags, and do you know why?

Here is why: Almighty God Himself created DEATH, death serves as a necessary tool to enforce His Word which states "the wages of sin is death" (from Romans 6:23) for ALL men must die, none are spared, "but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

If someone checks out and believes in Jesus Christ, has placed their soul in His Hands, they will have eternal life with Him, no matter how undeserving they are. On the other side of the coin, when a truly evil person meets that Grim Reaper (like bin Laden), or someone who has embraced atheism and the denial of God through their entire life, there is no shame in celebrating, because DEATH has demonstrated once again that God's Justice will not be escaped, nor evaded in any way.

Now in the case of the late Andy Rooney, I was mostly indifferent to him, I couldn't care less about his overly verbose rants and ravings, he made bombast his meal ticket, good for him.

He also embraced atheism and denied God. As long as he was sucking oxygen, it was good and proper for anyone to pray for his eternal salvation. But once the ticker quit ticking?

Too bad, so sad. He made his choice, and he chose badly. IF perchance with his last gasp he were to have said "oh Lord Jesus, save me!" you can be assured that he is even now in the Glory of the Lord, in Heaven above. I hope he did that.

Unfortunately, the body of evidence (no pun intended) he left behind suggests that he denied any and every Deity and sadly: died in his sins.
