Jerry Falwell is Dead
Jerry Falwell is dead. Good luck defending your actions to your god, sir.
Falwell was a controversial subject for his theological, political and social beliefs. After the September 11, 2001, attacks Falwell said on the 700 Club, “I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, 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 happen.’”
As for homosexuality, Falwell remarked, “AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals.”
During the Civil Rights Movement Falwell was a supporter of racial segregation. He said this about Martin Luther King, “I do question the sincerity of people like the Reverend Martin Luther King…”

Falwell to God: “Heh. You have a sense of humor … right?”
God to Falwell: “Sure I do. Now please bend over and drop your shorts. I want to tell you a joke.”

It’s times like this when I wish there WERE a judgment coming.
See ya lata, hata!

Not to speak ill of the dead, but…
Don’t let the door to eternity smack your ass on the way out.

No one should feel bad – he was a hateful, bigoted man and the world is a better place without him. So long, fucko.

* “AIDS is not just God’s punishment for homosexuals; it is God’s punishment for the society that tolerates homosexualsâ€
* “It appears that America’s anti-Biblical feminist movement is at last dying, thank God, and is possibly being replaced by a Christ-centered men’s movement which may become the foundation for a desperately needed national spiritual awakening.”
* “If you’re not a born-again Christian, you’re a failure as a human being.”
* “Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questionsâ€
* “[Homosexuals are] brute beasts…part of a vile and satanic system [that] will be utterly annihilated, and there will be a celebration in heaven.â€

Tinky Winky waving buh-bye = comedy gold.

OMG, how did I miss that? Hilarious!
And I have a new favorite word/noun: fucko.
Gosh, I love it when Jerry Falwell dies.

One down, Pat Robertson to go.
If only it was autoerotic asphyxiation, drugs, or hooker-related. But you can’t win ‘em all.

Patrick, who’s to say it wasn’t one of those?
“Found unconscious and without a pulse in his office” covers a lot of ground. ;)

Michael say: Gosh, I love it when Jerry Falwell dies.
Pop just came out of my nose! So funny.

Too bad there ain’t a hell…

I’m surprised his body wasn’t found still smoking from the lightning strike.

How much do you think you know about Jerry Falwell? Take this quiz and find out.

Two of my students burst into my room at the end of the day to tell me the news, and one of them high-fived me. Both seemed on the verge of literally jumping up and down about it.
Man, I love my students sometimes. Hope for the future!

Too bad Tinky-Winky could not have smacked Jerry upside the head with his “PURSE” before Jerry went off into eternity.

Melonie, maybe THAT’s how he died…

I wanted to comment on FG’s original statement, “good luck defending your actions” which I thought was great, to be greeted by all this bitterness and dislike, and Max’s high five story.
And I was filled with warmth and happiness. What a good community. I couldn’t agree with you all more, except perhaps to use a bit more venom. But I agree, there is an awful lot left unsaid about the specifics of the death. Rot in the ground, asshat.

And he supported Apartheid in South Africa. Sayonara, Scumbag.

One down, Pat Robertson to go.
hmmm.. 1 down, 2 to go… Robertson AND Phelps
