‘If He Were Here, It Would Be Different’

Who in hell would buy her lousy book? Except maybe the subjec of the book....

Falwell was a hate mongeing, gluttonous, and divisive false prophet.

Blogger tlkgram says that Falwell "loved people" but most intelligent and analytical people know that this is a lie. He only loved those people that agreed with his warped view of the Bible. He played God by speaking about Christians (and others) that he perceived were sinful, according to his interpretation of the Bible. Tlkgrams speaks about "those who pass judgment without knowing the man", an ironic comment, since this was the cornerstone trait of his ministry.

The widow Falwell must have run out of money and needs a new Mercedes and Rolex, so she has "done gone and wrote herself a lil ole book". Keep it simple for your mindless flock Mrs. Falwell; use lots of "purty Jesus pictures" and short one syllable words in short sentences. Your followers seem to need Spell Check to complete their protest signs at the abortion clinics before they detonate the bomb or assasinate innocent people.

I am a devoted and devout Christian on the board of my church, but I STILL can analyze the facts and misdeeds of the evil Rev. Falwell. I can think for myself, and even vote my conscience; not relying on the views of some lout in Virginia Beach with a limited view of the entire United States.

Some bloggers speak about Falwell's "intolerance" which must sound nicer to them than the word "hatred" which is EXACTLY what fueled the ministry of Falwell from day one.

Remember what Jesus said about the Pharisees. And His disdain for them. There must be a huge grease fire in hell...right about now.

Ps37;Eph6:10-18;Rom8:38,39;Rev20:11-15

I think a right thinking American that understands what the nation is standing on will think twice about what Dr Jerry Falwell readily pronounced. America is more than Americans and that is why taking caution of what is been produced there is very important. What is happening right now like bringing of the family institution, relegation of prayer etc. is simply off the important principles that brought America to the world's leadership status. Now, everything is eroding away. You can see the unpopularity of America even on CNN...South Korea, Japan, South America and the list keeps expanding. The question that needs to be answered are were some of these things highly pronounced when America started at least the first 300 years of its existence when her grace, power and influence burgeoned. America needs to strongly reconsider before it is yet too too late!

As a Christian, I am VERY much opposed to people like Falwell hinting and implying that GOD
is a Republican. The G O P uses the Holy Bible as a political tool, and because they do, I'm
voting DEMOCRAT!!!!

Why dignify this drivel? If Mrs Falwell has a problem sleeping at night, she needs therapy - not to insult REAL Christians by "glorifying" her dead husband

Why dignify this drivel?

I repeat:

Comment: For you Biblical literalists: Did God flood the Earth when Noah lived?

If so, were there pregnant women living on the Earth at that time?

Did those women die?

Is God therefore an abortionist?

I have nothing against conservative Christians, except for the gullibility or corruption of many of their leaders.

Most conservative Christians are focussed on doing good by the benchmarks set out by their particular sect or church. This works just fine until they fail to question why.

Then they become nothing more than good natured, myopic sheep easily led by their (usually) charismatic leaders in directions that may not be in their own best interests.

Take voting Republican..every year, Republicans claim that they are religious, right wing conservatives. They promise to stop abortions, gay marriage, put prayer back into the schools, and uphold some impossible to define thing called "good Christian values".

Do people not realize that each group has it's own definition of "good Christian Values".
For some religions it's not drinking, for some it's the way you dress, for some it's not using birth control, or having an abortion. For others it's Ok for women to be ministers, for some it's not. Etc. Etc.

And the Republicans NEVER deliver for these good Christians, do they? I mean..NEVER.

George W. Bush has had 8 years with a republican controlled congress. He could have done whatever he wanted.

He did nothing, but grow richer, and lie us into a war that has killed thousands.

A real christian would not lump Graham and the others together - it shows a lack of knowledge about each person. The other comments show an intolerance for anything christian. Everyone demands that a christian show tolerance for others, but no one shows tolerance for the christian's beliefs. Falwell had his problems as do most people in positions of power and fame.

I grieve for anyone who loses a loved one, it always hurts no matter what their character. But to potray the man that managed to make my hometown a blight in suck a positive light is utterly ridiculous. I live with the callous, judgmental and thoughtless legacy he created every day. Arrogance, greed and intolerance are far from the teachings of Jesus, but an apt description of the principles that run rampant within his organization.

Mithra, Dionysus, Horus?? Those religions are dead. Ancient stories from Egyptians, (who are mostly muslim now) long forgotten and Dionysus greek god of wine??
"crucified and rose from the dead after 3 days" only applies to Christ.
Christ died for athiests too they just need to find him. If science is your religion you just need to dig deeper....it only goes so far untill it reveals his power and existence.

He's dead, and the world is better off without him. He and his ilk of the "religious right" were more aptly called the "religious wrong". Good riddance! I have no sympathy for his widow's book; I am sure she is sad that her husband is dead...but that's a given. We don't need more glorifying of his self-righteousness. These kinds of people reap what they sow...to quote a thought from the Bible. Don't come crying to us and expect a lot of condolences; if she thinks that's harsh...well, let those who dish it out also take it!

I think we should "let sleeping dogs lie." Other than the Republican party itself, Jerry Farwell was one of the most destructive individuals to our country, our form of government, and our religious freedom to come along in a long time.
