‘If He Were Here, It Would Be Different’

Falwell said he wants his ???people to be the most intolerant people in the world???

"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] happen." Jerry Falwell
-----
Falwell was an evil, hateful man.

The moral majority put these people in office that have sestemicaly robbed our economy now they need to fix it.

Washington, Jefferson, HamiltonLincoln, Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Reagan, Clinton, Obama, Martin Luther King, Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair. All pathethic minds? All cooks? No respect for any of them?

Those weak-minded Christians. Our country and the world would be so much better off without them.

Fallwell was a monster.

I speaking my mind, therefore I have a backbone and should be admired.

Fundies, send me your money!

I think it is ironic that so many of these comments contain hate, but yet Dr. Falwell is frequently referred to as a hate monger. Dr. Falwell was a man, willing to speak out for what he thought was right. He was willing to take the heat. He didn't sit back waiting for someone else to confront issues. Many of the issues he spoke out against have been silently eating away at the foundation of our great Nation. Consider the issue of prayer being removed from our public schools. Look at the condition of our schools today. Is there a link? Look at the alcohol and drug problem today. It is destroying our youth. It has contributed to the increase in violent crime across our Nation. Look at the family situation in our Nation. Divorce is at an all time high. Let's face it, our own Government has contributed to some of our Nation's most serious problems. It is their lack of backbone to speak out in support of what is right. It's not the popular thing to do and for sure they might lose some important votes. And let's not forget about citizens like you and I. Why haven't we spoken out against these problems? It is easier to allow someone else to take the heat and then sit back and tear them apart. Dr. Falwell was a man of conviction and he was not afraid to stand up for what he believed in. We all want to continue enjoying the freedom we have been granted throughout the years and we want our children to grow up in the same free Nation that we have enjoyed, but there is a price for that freedom. During the past few decades our Nation's foundation has been weakened by our Goverment's unwillingness to stand firm on some of those basic Godly principles that our founding Fathers had established. Unfortunately today we are experiencing the negative results of this change. You can argue all you want, but there is a connection, and I admire the fact that Dr. Falwell was willing to take the stand he did against these changes. He did what you and I should have been doing all these years. We should have been shouting just as loud in defense of our family's best interest, for our children. We didn't but he did. And for that he was willing to pay the price. I consider it an honor to have graduated from Liberty University and I am glad that I have had the opportunity to see him in action. I believe he lived what he preached. If we want to continue enjoying freedom in our great Nation, I think you and I need to be praying that God has someone else to come forward, someone else who is willing to speak out for our Nation's best interest, someone who is willing to take the heat. America, wake up before it's too late! One day you may lose what you have been enjoying all these years. Then who are you going to blame?

What an achievement to take to the grave!!! Having created a cadre of slack-jawed, unintelligent, and under-educated hate mongers unable to think for themselves. They need a gluttonous, (check out the 7 deadly sins, widow Falwell) hatred-filled, and self-righteous demi-god to "lead" them? To hell, maybe?

The widow Falwell must need a new Mercedes and a Rolex by now, so she has "done gone and written herself a lil' ole book". Too bad most of Falwell's flock of mindless sheep won't be able to read and comprehend the words. They can barely spell the words on the protest signs at the abortion clinics before they plant the bombs and assasinate anyone who does not agree with their flawed take of Scripture.

Yep, Mrs. Falwell definitely should stick to lots of "purty Jesus pictures" and short one-syllable words and sentences. Falwell was one of the false prophets that the Bible warns about, so he should be burning right about now. What a grease fire that must create.

Thank Falwell's group for the current state of the United States economy in bloc-voting for Bush, based not on job-specific qualifications, but whether he was pro-life and a Christian. I go to church every Sunday, and I am on the church board, so I am not atheist;; just DAMNED analytical. I know a fake when I see one. And that fake is indeed Jerry Falwell;. a liar, bigot, hate-monger, and divisive blow-hard, Who in hell would buy this book? Except maybe the subject of the book.

Comment: eltithian: Before calling me an idiot, why don't you READ all of my posts and rebutt every argument I make.
I was indoctrinated like you obviously are, being raised catholic and then turning to the baptist "faith" before I actually READ THE ENTIRE BIBLE and found all of the mistakes and myth and errors in it.

How can you possibly believe in a magic "sky god?
This is the 21st Century or haven't you caught up to it yet?

Comment: I believe in Knowledge and I can recogniz the absence of it. Man can no more study atheism than he can study God. Life is an inexplanable joy that neither religeon or the lack of it explain. I know the crap you call research. It is ust as groundless as the religeons you complain about. Yes, I am indoctrinated, not by words but y experience. God bless my wonderful life and I am sorry you can't see the magic in the big blue sky because I see it very clearly and it is beautiful.

THE REASON THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT IS STRUGGLING IS BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN NOTICING THAT IT DOES NOT WORK. IT IS A SCAM THAT ONLY BREEDS HATE AND INJUSTICE AND FRANKLY PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF BLAMING OTHERS FOR THE NATION'S ILLS. AND ALSO, THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY, I THINK THAT WE NEED TO KEEP RELIGION TO OURSELVES.
I FRANKLY DON'T BELIEVE IN AN INVISIBLE MAN IN THE SKY BUT IF YOU ALL DO, THAT'S OK TOO.

This is to all the highly religious ones posting. Stay away from apples because the witch might have put a spell on them just like she did to snow white. Believe that? NO!

It is time that we begin to see beyond the political jargon that has been thrown at us by anyone and everyone who wants to lead in this country. I too am a Christian. I too have sinned. I REFUSE to follow any "religious" leader who tries to control the political system. Hmmm where do I get my example? my Lord. He was tempted by all the worlds and he refused. He at one point, in talking about taxes, stated, "Render unto Caesar what is his." Do you think sin is unique to the U.S. or this time period? Christianity needs to get out of the pews and onto the streets. Jesus did. I pass no judgement it only belongs to God

Before, I am accused of being an atheist, let me say, I bleieve in my God and think, he and I are ok. he has let me live to be 89, so, either he doen't want me around, or, he's satisfied, with, the way I'm doing things.
I'll find out before, too long.
I remember reading a magazine, called Analog and Science Fiction, back, in the mid 70's.
The Editor was man called John Campbell, with each edition, he woud write an editorial, on various things.
One that I remember and I quote, "No other endeavour , in the history of mankind, has had as much money and man hours expended on it and produced less, than, organized religion".
Perhaps, we should spend our Sundays at home, talking to God.
