"AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals." - Jerry Falwell

 

Huh, wonder which one of God's punishment Heart Disease is for.

You have your religious nut jobs confused. Jerry Lee and Jimmy Swaggart are cousins.

[Vikings4ever 550]

What a sad, senseless death.

 

 

 

 

 

Nobody had him in the death pool.

[wiffleball 4,790]

God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve.

-- Rev Jerry Falwell, blaming civil libertarians, feminists, homosexuals, and abortion rights supporters for the terrorist attacks of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, to which Rev Pat Robertson agreed

 

 

 

Hopefully, God's straightening him out on a few things right about now.

 

...From the OUTSIDE of the Pearly Gates.

 

 

"Ya see Jerry, we're just not gonna be able to let you go ahead and join us here, but there's a lovely spot down south reserved just for you. This way you can meet the folks who really WERE responsible for 9/11. Buh-Bye! "

Jerry has that covered all by himself.

 

“Billy Graham is the chief servant of Satan in America”

 

“If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being”

 

“Textbooks are Soviet propaganda”

 

The ACLU is to Christians what the American Nazi party is to Jews”

 

“Homosexuality is Satan's diabolical attack upon the family that will not only have a corrupting influence upon our next generation, but it will also bring down the wrath of God upon America.”

 

“(re: 9/11 attacks) "...throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools, the abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked and when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad...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 try to secularize America...I point the thing in their face and say you helped this happen

[wiffleball 4,790]

Correction to earlier:

 

 

It is being reported he died of a "severe bowel obstruction".

 

 

Guess that'll happen when you've got your head up your axx.

Wow, I guess i've gone old school. Aside from about the Billy Graham quote, I pretty much agree with everything you've quoted him on.

 

The ACLU's very existence is a sign of the coming apocolypse. Textbooks are written by communists and socialists, so yeah, they are pretty much Soviet propaganda.

[wiffleball 4,790]

....And Hey, going "old school", let's not forget Jerry's overwhelming support for Apartheid. Calling upon Americans to buy the Krugerand and calling Reverend Botha a "phony".

 

 

I really hope there is an accounting for your life in the afterlife.

Pat Robertson dies and is at the Gates of Heaven when St. Peter comes along and looks at his list and says "Pat Robertson, there must be some kind of mistake here, my list says you're in." Robertson immediately asked St. Peter if his friend Jerry Falwell was in heaven. St. Peter shook his head and said. "There's another one I can't believe." Robertson then told St. Peter that he wanted to see his friend Jerry. St. Peter called Jesus and told him that Robertson was in and wanted to see Falwell. Jesus told St. Peter to send him over to his house. As Robertson was walking to Jesus' house he was thinking that Jerry Falwell must be an important person in Heaven if he lives in the Son Of God's house.

 

Robertson was met at the door by Jesus and gushed "Jesus, I am not worthy. The Savior himself in front of me. Oh Jesus, I have waited for this day my entire life, but I truly miss my freind Jerry. Is it possible to see him?" Jesus got on the phone and called his Dad. "Dad, Pat Robertson is here and wants to see Jerry Falwell." Jesus then tells Robertson that he needs to go to his dad's house to see Falwell. Along the way, Robertson is delighted that his friend is so important that he lives in the house of God.

 

Robertson goes into the house and is sent to God's office. As soon as he sees God, Robertson falls to his knees and says " Dear, mericful God, God of all things, The Creator of Heaven and Earth, I am humbled to be in your house!" God looks over his reading glasses at Robertson and says "I unserstand you want to see Falwell." Robertson says he does and God replies "I'll let you see Falwell, but the you and I are going to have a very long talk." "Do you want to see him immediately?" Robertson said yes.

 

God gets on the intercom and says "Hey Falwell, when you're done cleaning the sh!tters, wash your hands and bring two cups of coffee to my office!"

It's too bad a great man that gave himself to the teachings of Jesus Christ to hate everything that was different, had to go so soon.

Normally death makes me cry...but I hope this fat bastard is choking on his own bullshit in hell. Damn him and his narrow-minded worldview!

[Boz/BoFan 0]

Never impressed me, just another clueless fundamental christian. Though he was dead on with some issues, his net result was far in the red with me. 73....thats a pretty good run, id take that.

[GobbleDog 996]

I agree with most of the other posts. It's almost impossible to be saddened by his death. Falwell was such an ass. The news networks are currently replaying some of his recent comments, and he still sounds like a jerk.

 

(on 9-11) "If Americans don't change their evil ways with respect to abortion and other issues, we will continue to lose our protective shield from God."

 

 

[Fumbleweed 547]

For those who mention him being a person of hate, I think it's pretty hypocritical to be hateful in your speech about him. Just because you disagree with him doesn't make the hate somehow justified.

 

I didn't pay much attention to Falwell. I applaud his stance on the ACLU. I think his concern regarding the moral issues in America is admirable, but I also think he tended to over-stretch his authority in speaking on "behalf of God". I also believe his comments at times, while reflective of what he felt, were very poorly timed and at times, pretty off-base.

 

It is rather apparent that he was a lightning rod-type figure. But, he did stand for something. Agree or disagree, I always admire that about a person.

Falwell was the definition of a false prophet, a guy who used Christianity as a tool to advance his own social status and political agenda. He brought more hate than love into the world and we are better off without him. Good riddance.

I'm just not comfortable with that level of judgment.....I think unless you knew the man well, it's too much to say about him.

 

Agree or disagree with his ideas, his actions......it's all good. But, when you start ascribing to know the motives of another's heart, that's a pretty big leap. Something I'm not comfortable with in assessing almost all human beings.

[MDC 7,407]

Some people are so patently wrong that their motives are irrelevant. I don't fully understand bin Laden's motives either, but I won't mourn his passing. I'm not comparing Falwell to bin Laden, but both bring more hatred than positivity and the world would be better off without either of them.

Dont beat yourself up over this Mitch, Blue was old. Thats what old people do, they die.

The hate mongering fat piece of shit is dead? That's a damn shame.

[Voltaire 5,315]

Good riddence. Looking forward to when Pat Robertson and James Dobson join him -both are in their 70s- maybe then Fundamentalist American Christianity will be able to straigthen itself out. Not that I'll hold my breath forsomeone respectable like another Billy Graham to come along. But at least this death makes the world a better place.

[gratefulted 14]

His sad untimely passing reminds me of a interview with him about his first time drinking Campari, here's how it went,

 

Falwell: My first time was in an outhouse outside Lynchburg, Virginia

 

Interviewer: Wasn’t it a little cramped?

 

Falwell: Not after I kicked the goat out.

 

Interviewer: I see. You must tell me all about it.

 

Falwell: I never really expected to make it with Mom, but then after she showed all the other guys in town such a good time, I figured, "What the hell!"

 

Interviewer: But your Mom? Isn’t that a little odd?

 

Falwell: I don’t think so. Looks don’t mean that much to me in a woman.

 

Interviewer: Go on.

 

Falwell: Well, we were drunk off our God-fearing asses on Campari, ginger ale and soda—that’s called a Fire and Brimstone—at the time. And Mom looked better than a Baptist wh0re with a $100 donation

 

Interviewer: Campari in the crapper with Mom. how interesting.. .Well how was it?

 

Falwell: The Campari was great but mom passed out before I could cvm.

 

Interviewer: Did you ever try it again?

 

Falwell: Sure. Lots of times. But not in the outhouse. Between Mom and the sh1t, the flies were too much to bear.

 

Interviewer: We meant the Campari.

 

Falwell: Oh, yeah, I always get sloshed before I go to the pulpit. You don’t think I could lay down all that bullsh1t sober do you?

[Fumbleweed 547]

Touche'. (This was in response to Franknbeans)

 

Your point is understood in light of our discussion earlier this week, but what I meant was when a person stands on a moral principle that does not involve harming another person. Falwell may have done his very best to a be a man of God based upon his interpretation of the Bible....or he may have been a crooked opportunist as many have said. I just don't know. Like I said, I didn't follow him closely. But, I do know that anybody who attempts to stand against the h0mosexual agenda or abortion in this country will come under fire. He did that...not in the same way as I would have as I think some of his statements were pretty nuts and definitely ill-timed, but it was a statement of conviction nevertheless.

 

But, you're right. I was too broad in my statement and you called me on it. Nice job.

 

And, no I wouldn't admire you for being a pedophile.

 

#1) I don't hold myself out to be a moral beacon speaking for God.

 

#2) Hitler stood for something too - unwaveringly. You 'admire' him too? (Dammit Gobble!)

 

Understood on #2. Covered this in reply to Franknbeans.

 

But, I'm not sure I understood your excuse on #1. I'm not defending Falwell per se....I just don't like people speaking hatefully about anyone who they perceive to be hateful. It is a senseless construct.

If Falwell was not a crooked opportunist, he was a seriously deluded man. Just looking at his record of comments over the years, I think he had a lot of hate and that's primarily what he preached. Falwell's beliefs bare very little resemblance to what I know about Jesus. Conviction in itself is not a virtue.

 

Unfortunately, the squeaking wheel gets the oil and guys like Falwell - who really speak for a small, deranged subsect of Christians - get much more attention than they really deserve. I wouldn't wish death on anyone, but I think the world really will be a better place without him.
