Jerry Falwell - Dead at 73

[ericcoleman]

I won't say anything. But I will let him speak for himself

----------

If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being.

I really believe that the Pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians, ... the ACLU, People For the American Way - all of them who have tried to secularize America - I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this [terrorist attack: 9/11] happen." Jerry Falwell, 700 Club, 2001-SEP-13.

Billy Graham is the chief servant of Satan in America

The whole (global warming) thing is created to destroy America's free enterprise system and our economic stability

God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve

Textbooks are Soviet propaganda

I had a student ask me, "Could the savior you believe in save Osama bin Laden?" Of course, we know the blood of Jesus Christ can save him, and then he must be executed

AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals

Grown men should not be having sex with prostitutes unless they are married to them.

It is God's planet - and he's taking care of it. And I don't believe that anything we do will raise or lower the temperature one point.

The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country.

He's going to be so pissed off now that he realises that there is no afterlife.

I'm reminded of a joke about George Wallace

He's laying on his death bed. He takes a last long breath and is quiet for a moment. Then his eyes open in horror and he says "SHE'S BLACK". And his eyes close again.

ooh... that i like, I met george many years ago while visting my uncle wh o was the deputy director of the state retirement system for Alabama, I will give George credit for one thing, at least he worked on trying to clean up his act after the assasination attempt. he still wasnt a nice guy, but he seemd to have gotten more of a clue about reality then Jerry ever got. the really sad part was that he was elected how many times? 4 or 5?


on another note, today is the 35th anniversary of the assasination attempt.

Talk about a weird coincidence ...

It's too bad people mix christianity up with their own aganda.

It reads like comedic gold - until you realize that the fucktard was serious.

A friend of mine posted the following:

"Jerry Falwell has died. May he rest in the bosom of *my* Gods.

Quote from Estara: "Perhaps, in obedience to the Golden Rule, we should do for Mr. Falwell what he would surely have done for us if our places were reversed, which is to pray for his soul to be brought into the bosom of our Gods."

My response was something to the effect of: If there truly are gods, then Falwell will be resting in their bowels, not their bosom.

I have no problems with Christians, and even meet some ministers I deeply respect (mostly because they did not try to use the fire-and-brimstone-conversion routine on me). This was not one of them, this was a hatemonger. I think God called him home 3 decades too late (he should have been gone before he formed the Moral Majority, which is neither!)

Unlike a lot of preachers-with-TV-cameras, Falwell was, at least, personally honest. He wasn't a Swaggert or a Bakker. Or a Jack$on.
