He was a wonderful man. Great post OP

I didn't know I needed this. Thanks man / woman / multisex or undecided.

Read his biography and prepare to see the world in a different way.

I sincerely feel better after reading that.

Always upvote Rogers!

I beat to the right collector that drawing is worth some good coin!?

Annnnnnd I teared up. Damn.
LemonFanta
Thanks, Rog.
joesasquatch
I wasn't allowed to watch this. I'm sure he was a good man. But is it possible this is part of the problems we see "everyone gets a trophy"?
SonicBoomYourFamily
I don't think so. He would teach the little ones how to deal with defeat, and to not give up.

This is exactly what my grandpa used to do right before he would say "THINK ABOUT IT." Classic Clarence...

This makes me feel better about working on the fanfic I've been writing. So what if the story isn't perfect or has some holes? 1/2
Strife89
I actually wrote it down instead of keeping it in my head; and maybe someone out there will truly enjoy it. 2/2
Thisthough
That's awesome! Don't stop :)
SwiggitySwassNarwhal
Everyone knows he was a scout sniper in Vietnam right?
SonicBoomYourFamily
Look at your Snopes, fellow imgurer.
imakerandomcatnoises
Mr. Rodgers was never in the military.
tr0Jan
did he really give the middle finger that bluntly?

Everytime at work, I change out of my cardigan into my lab coat and say I'm having my Mr. Rogers moment.
flatdeer
You wear a cardigan to work every day?
leoturds4sale
I have a lot for sleeveless tops I have to cover.
flatdeer
Why not just... oh, never mind.
antifolkhero
I'd follow a religion just based on his beliefs and teachings.
cliffhero
That would be Christian, buddy.
anitabieror6
he was Presbyterian
ImgurianCandidate93
You need your hand held?
0721
So basically the Jefferson Bible?
myusernamewillalwaysberelevant
Don't most religions boil down to "be a good person and treat others fairly and as equals"?
Anonamus1
I'm pretty sure it's kill or convert others
vashthestampeedo
Most religions agree on the way we ought to treat others and have we relate to people; it's how we relate to God that changes w/ religions.
AetherMcLoud
Depends on which passages your read.
Shittyperson
That or "Do what I say or suffer in hell!"
myusernamewillalwaysberelevant
Religions with that type of mantra are little more than fascist cults and should be avoided whenever possible.
Shittyperson
And that's why atheism is the way to go.... m'lady
myusernamewillalwaysberelevant
To each their own. Congregational protestant, BTW
ImgurianCandidate93
To clarify. I meant you don't need a religion to be a good person. In otherwords “having your hand held”.
NeverGetsTheNuke
So, Christianity? Because I think he was a Christian minister.
bobatomic
You know he was a Presbyterian minister right? His beliefs and teachings are probably Christian.
EdwardHarley
The greatest part is that none of his religious stuff ever really entered the show.
kmikl
Yep, That's something I admire the man all the more for as an adult. He wasn't preaching, by all accounts, he was this way normally.
antifolkhero
That point has been made before, but what he taught transcends Christianity. It is something greater.
SlightlyFabricated
No, I just think Mr. Rogers is an example of Christianity done right. He followed the call to be like Christ.
gamer2k4
True Christianity is about being like Christ himself ("Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect"). There's nothing greater than that.
marshmallowballoon
Yah um what about being like Aragorn? I'd say nothing greater than that.
micahmicahmicah
He was preaching by example.
SlightlyFabricated
Gah, thank you for saying it!
TimePressure
Actually, he emphasizes tolerance, which is at the core of most religions, esp christianity. Most religious people just forget that...
Nomtombouts
Not most, just a very vocal minority
gamer2k4
Yes and no. We shouldn't judge because we're sinful ourselves, but we're also told to not tolerate sin no matter what (even in ourselves).
idislikecomingupwithuniqueusernames
Most people believe what they want to believe and just find parts of their religion to justify it. Mr Roger's kindness included honestly.
AncientPostNecromancer
Most *fake* religious people forget that. Alot of them think they can get away with being an ass because it is all forgivin on sunday.
YouScruffyNerfHerder
I've honestly thought about writing "The Book of the Church of Mister Rodgers" with things like The Book of Make Believe and all of that (1)
0721
So basically the Jefferson Bible.
YouScruffyNerfHerder
(2) But then someone pointed out that he was a Presbyterian minister and proooobably wouldn't appreciate it.
vermil
You could make The Analects of Mister Rogers, no? :D
YouScruffyNerfHerder
It'd be like The Tao of Pooh! (...crap, I need to write this now.)
Thisthough
I would read this for sure!
vermil
Yes! Do it like Starsky & Hutch!
kmikl
Tao of Pooh? I'd read it. Dao of the Dude (or Duder, His Dudeness, or El Duderino... if you're not into the whole brevity thing)..
