I have no desire to spit on the man’s corpse. Where he ended up is between him and God.

He's not spitting on the man's corpse but just pointing out the hypocrisy of those who think that everyone they like will be "resting in peace" regardless of the life they led.

Doug Giles is just pointing out that there are two roads to eternity, the wide one that leads to destruction and the narrow one that leads to life.

The odds are that Hoffman, dying with a needle full of heroin sticking out of his arm, wasn't on the narrow road and isn't eating ice cream with Jesus.

Is it judgmental to quote the Bible? At some point, all our whining about judgmentalism notwithstanding, the words of the bible do the evaluating for us. It should make plenty of us nervous, but it also provides guidelines.

Galatians 5: 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Co 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
