1. Okay, how and WHEN did he piss off God?
Or was it just a mistake?

3. Just a mistake. Don't think God gets pissed off enough
to kill people like that, in the humble opinion of a process theologian here.

2. Ironic indeed. Poor guy.
However, when that tree crushed Killen's legs last yr, that was deserved irony, in my opinion.

4. That is so sad.
Now the family is planning another funeral. I don't see anything at all funny about this.
