Shame. RIP.

Shame. RIP.

I'm sorry booger, you're gonna have go to back to the arch-dioses of boston to get your altar boys now. :jump1:

We are better off and so isn't he! It must have been hell waking up in the morning looking in the mirror, and being Gerry Falwell.

Tough crowd :hs:

I can't jump on his grave, regardless of how awful I thought he was as a man and the countless people his thinking influenced.

Shortly after 9/11 a person I worked with was proclaiming it was all about the gays and abortionists :hs:

But I'd rather these folk just fade away and are forgotten.

RIP.
Darn, I forgot the rest of the proverb!

I ain't about bashin a dead guy.
Not as hard core as some of u guys..

This country was founded on the principle of seperation of church and state and the freedom of religion, speech and several other key ideals.

When John Kennedy was running for President he was grilled by the Democrats and GOP on his catholicism and how that would affect his running the country and he reaffirmed that the idea of seperation of church and state would not be affected in anyway.

Falwell has dragged this country into a quagmire of the religious right trying to interject thier beliefs as the countrys only righteous policy and in doing so has helped divide this country in more ways than it has ever been since the slavery issue and brought us to where we are today with the Bush presidency and his total mismanagement of the Federal Govt and world affirs based on religious beliefs rather than diplomacy and the word and law of the constitution.

Good riddance Mr. Falwell.

I normally don't involve myself in political debate here, but I couldn't agree more, Steve. Nor could I phrase it any better. :claps:

I don't normally get involved with dead people either, but Mr. Falwell tried to bridge/close the seperation of church and state. When he did that he opened himself up to whatever befalls him.

Sounds like your issue isnt so much with Falwell, but with religion in general. You seem to have some kinda hatred and distrust for people who pratcice religion. I dont see any long winded post from you regarding Islam, the religion that is the root of most of worlds problems today.

Ahhh Spence loves Islam! Those peace loving folks. No Radicals in that Religion!.All they do is strap bombs to thier chest, and fly planes into buildings killing 3000 folks in the name in Allah. But nah, thier religion is so peaceful. :yak5:

Seems some on here are more concerned and outraged about the religious right, than they are of radical Islam.

I don't want to put words in Flap's mouth, but to echo his comments, (which I agree with) the BIGGEST problem is the lack of separation between church and state. An exit poll during the '04 election found that most people who voted red were MORE concerned with 'moral issues' than terrorism, the Iraq war etc.. so they voted for Bush mainly because Steve (not flaptail) wanted to marry Tom or Fran wanted to marry Jane) and get the same civil rights that straight couples get, not because they were worried about Saddam blowing up NYC. That speaks VOLUMES about what is wrong with politics on both sides. Politics should be apolitical, it is groups like Falwell that are trying to change that. I knew it got bad, when McCain, someone I respected started pandering to the religions right a year or two back...

I have Z-E-R-O problem with people practicing a religion (I'm agnostic) but I have a major problem when that belief clouds their opinions or closes of parts of their mind. IMHO it tends to make people less open minded and less free thinking, especially people on the far religious right. It is NOT my intention to generalize of sterotype there.

People like Falwell preach their religious beliefs which includes intolerance of gays, abortionists etc. While he is a step above Westboro baptist church, in my eyes not by much, ESPECIALLY when post 9/11 Falwell eluded to 9/11 being the fault of the 'immoral' people mentioned above. I have a good friend and colleague who is a prof at Liberty. He is a good scientist who is in denial because his religion tells him the earth is 7500years old, even though his SCIENCE tells him it is 4.6Billion years old. (See the N.Y. Times article a few months back, he was a PhD student from my department here)

I dont wish death on anyone, even if I dont respect them, but the world is not a worse place w/o him.

no religion is inheritantly evil.... unless the practitioner is killing
people in the name of their chosen GOD.... on purpous.

All types of religion are based upon evil deeds in the name of their so called God, Allah or whomever they preach to!!!
All these religions are made up by men and their ideas!!!
To me, it is best to find your own religion!!!

This reminds me of a question posed to the class back in the dark ages of college. The class was asked: Should a Government be empowered to enact a law that supports a particular religious belief? The fast and loud answer was "NO!" from the usual suspects. The next question was, what if that law enforced the "Thou shalt not kill" Commandment?

Nothing's ever black and white (at least most of the time :usd: )

Nothing like kicking the mans dead body before he's even buried. Some really cold, sick people on here. You'd think this guy was a mass murderer with some of the comments i'm seeing. Im sure his family appreciates you guys pissing on his dead body.:doh:

I don't care for guys like Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, but i certainly wouldnt get any joy if they died. But thats just me. Some people are just sick and twisted i guess.

I'll save my joy for when guys like Saddam and members of Al Qeada die. You know, guys that deserve it.

Well said..Didnt like the guy but I didnt wish him dead

I dont see any long winded post from you regarding Islam, the religion that is the root of most of worlds problems today.

In 1984, he was ordered to pay gay activist Jerry Sloan $5,000 after losing a court battle. During a TV debate in Sacramento, California, Falwell denied calling the gay-oriented Metropolitan Community Churches "brute beasts" and "a vile and Satanic system" that will "one day be utterly annihilated and there will be a celebration in heaven."

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.'" Fellow evangelist Pat Robertson concurred with his sentiment.

"AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals."

Like this guy is any better than Bin Laden or any other person out there who spewed hate and bile.
Get with it skip, you're straight up racist, if Bin Laden was white you wouldn't be so quick to jump on the anti-Islam train. Anyone who takes religion like Bin Laden or Falwell is WRONG.

%$%$%$%$ you Likwid, Last i checked Bin Laden killed nearly 3000 Americans. I didnt realize Falwel was also a mass murdering terrosist.

your thinking is so twisted its rather scary

If Bin laden was white he'd be the pastor from the Westboro baptist church...

Falwell wasnt THAT bad when compared to OBL....

good grief.

%$%$%$%$ you Likwid, Last i checked Bin Laden killed nearly 3000 Americans. I didnt realize Falwel was also a mass murdering terrosist.

your thinking is so twisted its rather scary

Yes BinLaden is a bad guy, so much so that he not Saddam is the one person that GW should have focused our entire resources on militarily and otherwise but, at the same time, Bin Laden is not our society's only problem and in this case we are addressing the issue of Mr. Falwell, who single handedly and through non-violent means but with the hate rethoric included, has ripped this country away from it's core values of it's founding fathers that being seperation of church and state and who, like Bi Laden, had as his dream, the creation of a fundamentalist religion-based goverment.

The means and methods were different but the desired end result was the same. Repression and fear.

The world has many problems not just Bin Laden, Falwell, religion or secterian problems and misguided souls such as Mr. Falwell are just one of many facets of the threat against us.

Look harder and you will see the whole picture.

have you ever stopped and thought that if there were no organised religions, there would be no wars going on at all.

Last i checked Bin Laden killed nearly 3000 Americans.

And how many hate crimes have idiots like Falwell spawned? Probably just as many IF NOT MORE!

I didnt realize Falwel was also a mass murdering terrosist.

Neither is OBL, his followers did it for him, JUST LIKE FALWELLS LITTLE SHEEP.

your thinking is so twisted its rather scary

No dude, I live in reality where OBL didn't fly a plane but a bunch of people he convinced to do so did. Where brainless morons in this country take what Falwell says as "the word of god" and mindlessly follow.

And yanno, if I had a choice of being blown up by a suicide bomber, or having a bunch of redneck fools who think im gay beat me and drag me with chains behind their pickup truck, I'll take the suicide bomber. Thanks.

I am sure, being what we are, there would be fights over something. Look at this site as a microcausm of our world today and the sh!t we get into fights about. Without religion though there would probably be stabler times for the world in general but then again there are some in the world of religion that are actually good influences on the sphere as a whole, not many, but a few.

Still, religion has no place in goverment other than for a silent prayer when action is demanded, and action has been taken for the desired result.

I have two in-laws who live in Ca. that are participants in this type of religon. One has a grad degree in business from a prestigious school and the other is a nurse mid-wife praticioner. Thier pastor told them that life on earth began appropximately six to eight thousand years ago. And they believe that. I had a show on a few years ago aboutsliver-backed apes and my brother-in-law turned the tv off and forbid me to watch that type of show. He said it is insulting that certain so-called scientists say we evolved from an ape possibly.

I love my in-laws dearly but I'll never stay at thier house again.

Swimmer:
that was exactly my point: they take things on blind 'faith' that things are what the bible/pastor say they are...
