‘If He Were Here, It Would Be Different’

I'm a very fragile person who can't form an opinion for myself so i relie on people like Falwell to mold me. I have been told at a very early age that I am not a good person, I have bad thoughts, and I am damned for eternity. Religion has helped me disguise my impure thoughts from society. People like me have to hate everyone else because that validates me. Everyone else has to be wrong because my limited thought process can't calculate beyond pre-adalesence impulse thinking. I will stop at nothing in order to show everyone else that I am right and they are wrong. My cleverest defence is attacking people with the qualities that I share and am so ashamed of. My verocity is rewarded with the comfort that they will never find out how much we actually have in common. I hate myself and I'm so afraid.

I'm seeing thing about burnt offeerings and the Wicked Witch. You people are just a bunch of screwed up monkeys. Get a life.

I will not even consider reading this book has her husband never did evoke sympathy in my when he passed away. There's someone for everyone. No doubt this woman is grieving for her partner - someone who would turn me completely off. Grief takes time and one has to get through it with help and understanding. She doesn't say whether she is doing charitable work or giving to the community to get through the tough times during the day. And, since she doesn't have anything to do at night, how about volunterring to grade paperwork for some poor and burned out teacher who is underpaid and can spend some time with their family? How christian would that be. I could think of tons of things for this woman to do at night. I know that grieving is exhausting. There is no time limit but brightness comes out of the dark if you give of yourself - it makes you feel better. As for her husband, I have only negative feelings towards his "legacy" (the mind control freak that he was....!).

He proclaimed to be a messenger from ???God???, and so do a lot of other people who do harm to their families and society. The person from Lynchburg, VA says, ??? Jerry would leave the house in the morning with wads of cash and just give it away to perfect stranger???; wow I do that for our local homeless shelter. I did not like him because, he said some very insensitive things about women to uplift men, and it wasn???t necessary. He wanted everyone in the church, but the church is not always the safest place for you. I am a survivor of child sexual abuse and rape by a senior deacon of a large Christian Church, so I don???t see church as a safe place. I am married to a very fine man, who loves me; however, I am a strong advocate for women and children, and I am sure that the late ???Jerry??? would have thought I was trying to break up the family, but I am not. I just want every child to have what I didn???t have a safe nights sleep.

in line with christopher hitchen's, good riddance! we're all better off without his intollerance and hate mongering. he was a fraud and prayed upon the weak and weak-minded. i recently attended the pride parade here in salt lake, and am proud of all of my friends and family in the GLBT community. i am also proud of all of my fellow rational thinking humans, and wish people like falwell would see that we are all in this together, and can make the world a better place by being human instead of sheep, of as i like to term them, lemmings, just forging ahead with the rest of the herd, not caring about the dangers in front of them. one lemmig leader down, many to go. i fervently wish, with all my heart, that they would all open their minds to the truth. i wish jerry would have done that before his death.

, , , , , maybe the Fallwells forgot to read this part on the "Christian" Bible,

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. He's gone where the goblins go,
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!

Lost? According to who? Christian rightousness is extreemly tiresome. The Christians are right. The Jews are right. The Muslims are right. The Budists are right. Let's see, who else is right?

Gee-golly- big bummer he died- the world was alot for him to handle anyway-he's with Jesus now- maybe the purse carrying Teletubbie the Reverend hated can help bring the Christian right peace and regain their power. I understand Tinkie Linky or whatever the tubbies name is/was has magical powers and wants to play with Jerry's wife on T.V , so kids will love her and all Christians-again. She needs to be on T.V.

Jerry Bin Laden is partly responsible for the death of the thousands of Americans and Iraqis as he had beaten the drums of war so loudly. He strongly encouraged Bush and his extremist followers to go to war.
Some godly man!

"Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone". Seems to me he threw a lot of stones. Who was he to tell people how to live their lives and threaten them with hell? It would have been fine had he preached to those who wanted to listen and follow him. But to teach his followers to hate those who believed or lived differently certainly seems the LEAST Christian thing he could have done. Not missing him.

I had the honar of meeting MR. FALWELL when i was eight years old. I was from a small country town in V.A. A church sent me and my brother to a summer camp for a week. We whent to church on sunday and will never forget the love that was in this man. I am now 47 years old and i will never forget that day. GOD BLESS YOU REV.FALWELL. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
