I disagree. He'd probably convince the lich to do something more productive, like use the undead for labor or computing.

Hey now- think of how Mr Rogers would feel about you saying that.

No matter how awful a person Fred Phelps was, he was still a person. His death shouldn't be celebrated. The best thing you can do if you disagree with his beliefs is to let him fade into obscurity, not to celebrate the ending of a life.

>>30962600

Mr Rogers was a kind and gentle man. The best sort of human being, who was exactly what he appeared to be.

> Mister Rogers went onstage to accept the award — and there, in front of all the soap opera stars and talk show sinceratrons, in front of all the jutting man-tanned jaws and jutting saltwater bosoms, he made his small bow and said into the microphone, "All of us have special ones who have loved us into being. Would you just take, along with me, ten seconds to think of the people who have helped you become who you are. Ten seconds of silence."
>And then he lifted his wrist, looked at the audience, looked at his watch, and said, "I'll watch the time." There was, at first, a small whoop from the crowd, a giddy, strangled hiccup of laughter, as people realized that he wasn't kidding, that Mister Rogers was not some convenient eunuch, but rather a man, an authority figure who actually expected them to do what he asked. And so they did. One second, two seconds, three seconds — and now the jaws clenched, and the bosoms heaved, and the mascara ran, and the tears fell upon the beglittered gathering like rain leaking down a crystal chandelier. And Mister Rogers finally looked up from his watch and said softly "May God be with you," to all his vanquished children.

The man's a freaking Saint.

>>30962968
He wouldn't want you to try to be him.

All Mr. Rogers ever wanted you to do, was to try and be the person he knew you could be.

>>30962982
Why hasn't he been sainted yet, anyways?

>>30963012
Protestants don't tend to do that.

>>30963012
Wasn't a Catholic and didn't perform any miracles (unless you count making everyone at the Grammys cry and defending PBS a miracle).

>>30963012

He's (or was, I suppose) a protestant.

The present pope might throw them a bone though.

>>30963012
I believe there's a certain period of time that must pass, as well as a recorded instance of a miracle occurring in that persons name before canonization.

I have no doubt the man will end up sainted though. He truly embodied what it means to be Christian, and this is coming from a Hindu.

>>30963045
>Defending PBS
Well...

>>30963045
Then there's the time that he walked into an NYC subway car packed to the brim... and not only did someone actually get up to give him their seat, but the entire car was singing "It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" by the time it reached the next station.

Or the time that his car was stolen and somehow it made it onto the news. The next day, his car was back in front of his house with a note on it saying "we're so sorry, we wouldn't have taken it if we had known it was yours".

>>30963110
And then he -refused- to press charges against the thieves, because they brought it back and apologised.

>>30963087
It was something he believed in, and whole heartedly defended, because he believed that television could bring a positive change in peoples lives. He then convinced an entire room of cold-hearted politicians to believe this too, if only for a few days.

>>30963110
I believe Snopes proved that was a myth, thought I could be mistaken.

I wouldn't be surprised it was true. Fred Roger's was the kind of man who'd sincerely believe that even the most poisonous /b/-tard was a good person deep within, and believed in him to one day reach it.
It really is no surprise that 4chan loves him so much. He'd be our friend, despite all of our flaws.

>>30963136
That's what I was trying to say. He convinced politicians that a public access network was a good thing. That is, indeed, a miracle. In my opinion, anywau

Death comes for us all. What matters is what you do before that whole "dying" part.

And from where I'm sitting Mr. Rogers did a pretty fucking good job.

See I don't think he was a saint or Jesus or anything. He was just like you and me. He always wanted us to know that.

That's why he was great, he proved how good any one of us could be.

>>30963055

If they can consider canonizing that awful Mother Teresa, they could probably think about Mr. Rogers.

Forgive my ignorance and off topic-ness, but what was bad about her, and if she was so awful why was she canonized?

>>30963588
She was a proponent of purity through pain. Her hospice would be closed in seconds in America for the sheer grotesquery of the living conditions inside.

>>30963588

Is widely thought to have done great works to help the poor of India, but said herself that was not her purpose; she did what she did "for the greater glory of the church."

Ran a creepy death-cult nunnery where they would bring in sick people found around India, lay them on a straw mat, give them water, and watch them die because it brought them closer to Jesus.
If family members came looking for them, the nuns were told to lie in order to save those poor souls from being scooped up by their heathen family and, y'know, taken to an actual hospital or something.

To top it all off, she took money from dictators in exchange for smiley-gladhand "He's a good man" PR photos. "Baby Doc" Duvalier's death squads were killing thousands while she went on TV to tell everyone what a good Christian man he was, before sending the money back to her nunnery.

>>30963588
She lived among the poor and the sick. Her diaries mentioned something about how she really didn't like what she was doing or something.

>>30963588
She kept people in horrific pain rather than either actually letting them pass, or allowing them PROPER medical care.

>>30961618
> Fox said he was spoiling children by telling them they were special
Wait, what...They didn't actually say that did they?

No matter what land you visit, chances are you'll find at least one person who has at least heard of Mr. Rogers. Those who follow him strictly always greet others as "neighbor", and welcome them to their home regardless of the danger which may proceed.

According to some legends, Mr. Rogers was a man who, in life, did so much and such good that he gained the direct attention of the Gods. They afforded him their protection, thus- upon his death, he would be allowed to join their ranks, so he could continue spreading his message of peace and brotherhood into the everafter. Whatever his origin, Mr. Rogers (always Mr. Rogers, for reasons few now remember, but which everyone follows) is undoubtedly great and kind, ideals his followers have attempted to live up to.
Mr. Rogers, when he appears on the mortal plane, appears as a man of slightly more than moderate age, clad in a white shirt, tie, pressed black pants, and a suit jacket. He is usually seen wearing hard-soled black work shoes. At times, usually when making a major appearance such as to calm a battle, Mr. Rogers has been seen wearing a zippered-up sweater in place of the suit jacket.

Mr. Rogers dwells in his own plane, the Land of Make Believe, with several other entities that he seems to regard as close personal friends. Of note, those few that have made the trip to this plane report that Mr. Rogers there wears his sweater constantly, as well as a pair of strange soft-soled shoes rather than his normal work shoes, though the exact significance of this is unknown.

>>30964403

Mr. Rogers has since time immemorial taught a message of peace, charity, and love for one's fellow man. He discourages such vices as mean-spiritedness and excess, and urges all who would listen to learn to control their anger, expressing it in safe ways such as through music or art rather than war and strife. Education is also a central tenet of the god's philosophy, and he offers all children his personal protection and solace.

Clerics of Mr. Rogers wear hand-knitted sweaters of various colors, long black pants, and black work shoes. They are strictly nonviolent and carry no weapons, though many have learned some forms of unarmed or hand-to-hand combat for self-defense. Clerics of Mr. Rogers prefer to focus on defusing violence before it can begin, usually through speechcraft and magic. As a very last resort they will engage in hand-to-hand combat, dealing nonlethal damage only.

Temples of Mr. Rogers are usually small and unassuming, and often mistaken for everyday houses. Unlike most gods' temples, which are grand affairs of rich stone and rare woods, these temples are usually quite modestly decorated, though every temple has a small model trolley somewhere within its rooms (the exact purpose of this is known only to the god's most devoted followers). Such places are often filled with music, which is believed by Mr. Rogers' devotees to help relieve stress and calm the mind. No weapons of any kind are allowed into a temple, and it is customary before entering such a building to remove your street shoes and swap them for a pair of softer-soled "sneakers" for the duration of your stay there- if you do not own a pair of your own, each temple usually has some you can use.

Neutral Good, surely. He's doesn't talk about law much, just about being as Good as you can.

Ya know, as an atheist, I almost feel bad about not believing in heaven, because that would mean that one of the few people on earth who truly deserved an eternal paradise wouldn't get it.

Though if there was a heaven, I'm fairly certain that by now Mr. Rogers would have reconciled God and Lucifer's differences.

when even the denizens of a site filled with controversy and hate, even if it lasts one thread, start to show thier fellow anon how kind they really are.... it just proves that there is hope in mankind

and that is why we are anonymous, because it doesnt matter who or what we are, so long as we remember who we are and always have been. no dictatorship, no genocide, no heavy consumerism can change that

that is why we fawn about mr rogers

Just like Mr. Rogers would have wanted

I've lived my whole life in Pittsburgh, Mr Rogers home city.
I remember when he died and the whole city mourned.
I remember his funeral.
The WBC came to protest it. A memorial for a man who had dedicated himself to making people's lives better and this group of hate mongers intended to ruin it.
They screamed and they changed and they sang. They did everything they could to disrupt the solemnity of that day.
But something stopped them, got it in there way.
Bikes. Dozens of motorcycles. Huge, noisy beasts came rolling down the street.
The Pittsburgh chapter of The Heels Angels shower up.
They never made a sound after they got off their bikes, never provoked the WBC or allowed themselves to be provoked.
They just stood there, a wall of massive, mean tattooed muscle making sure that all the people who came to honor a great man could do so in peace.

That's what Freed Rogers meant to people.

to be fair in some settings the destruction of the phylactery doesnt kill the lich, just means he has to make a new one or the next time he gets destroyed he wont reform
so you could argue he would give the lich a moral of not being afraid of death and just accepting the natural flow of life

why not? a bunch of the early saints arent catholics or even christians, just good folk stories that they canonized to grab at publicity
Buddha for instance, is a catholic saint in the form of Barlaam and Josaphat
so why not
I think a few catholics would prefer a canonized Mr Rogers over the few hundred (out of around 10k i beleive) that have been proven never to existed in the first place

Rest in peace, Mr Rogers. Truly, the world is lesser at your departure.

I really like the Mr. Rogers threads.

4chan is generally a very negative place, it's refreshing to see a thread about unconditional love and wholesome goodness. Makes me feel all warm inside.

On a side-note, is anyone here familiar with the other Mr. Rogers known for unconditional acceptance of people? Carl Rogers, the Humanistic therapist whose person-centred approach has changed every therapy we have in some way?

Has anyone been to his museum? I have. It's in his home town of Latrobe Pennsylvania. It's got his shoes and all of his sweaters and the puppets and sets and the scripts from every single episode of Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood.

The museum is on the Saint Vincent university campus. Mr. Rodger's wasn't Catholic, he was actually an ordained Presbyterian minister, but he was good friends with Saint Vincent's Archabbot. They actually worked together because the Archabbot has a doctorate in child's psychology.

I come from Australia, and one of the pretty out-of-the way parts of it at that. Until very recently, I'd never heard of Mr Rogers... except one time when i heard a weird internet rumor that George bush gave a medal to a kids show presenter...

Reading all this stuff, watching everyone's reactions and well wishes to the dearly departed, i actually feel a kind of sad emptiness that we never got people like Mr Rogers, Bill Nye, Carl Sagan and the like in our part of the world... it kind of really sucks.

It's the natural human response to love and beauty, anon. Deep down, we're all wired for love. It's what we're made for. Not love in the erotic/romantic "lovers" sense, but in the "love your neighbor" sense. And when we see a powerful example of that kind of love, it hits us in the very marrow of our being.

Mr. Rogers is a shining example of that love that we're all made for, and the best part about Mr. Rogers is that he dedicated his life to trying to spread that love not only by his own actions, but by helping others to love more deeply and broadly.

>>30972217
I'll be honest. I've been on /tg/ for years upon years, and lately I've been thinking that maybe I would just stop logging onto the board. Lately it'd seemed like there were fewer and fewer threads that honestly made me laugh or feel good about myself or others. This thread has convinced me otherwise. Honestly, I needed the reminder that such a loving and wonderful person shared his life with so many.

>>30963999
Canadian, you are wrong

I've never known of this gentleman until I've seen him mentioned on /tg/. I believe it was in a story about how thieves stole his car and then, upon learning who they took it from, returned it.

The idea seemed bizarre to me. Could someone inspire such strong feelings in a person who embarked on path of crime?

However as I learned more of the man, it did not feel as a stretch any more.

From point of view of todays' measures of success, there was nothing special about him: he was effectively a civil servant. A cleric, for which he would get scorn of many for 'pulling wool over eyes of the irrational and gullible', and a professional in a state-funded public broadcast, which would earn him scorn and criticism of others, for 'feeding on taxes of honest workers'.

I feel dirty for even thinking about that.

He did not pursue wealth or personal power. All his calling entailed was to radiate goodness and making the world a better place. And reminding those who were willing to listen, that so could they.

Thank you, Mr. Rogers, and may your message never be forgotten.
