I'm going to just copy & paste the source from which I first heard that he was dead:

Falwell openly criticized, judged and condemned homosexuals (among others) throughout his life, we must not retaliate with hateful remarks via such forums as this one: Facebook. Yes, Rev. Falwell's statements about the gay community's role in 9/11 is both hurtful and unreasonable, but it does no good for us to return the cold sentiments with vengeful rhetoric. It does no good to spread hateful messages about Rev. Falwell; it's counter-productive to the universal cause of Tolerance and Acceptance. It is my hope that people come to realize that Rev. Falwell is just as deserving of the compassion that we all give to a loved one who has passed away. In other words, now is a perfect time to always remember that love must prevail over hate.
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Yes. Let's just encourage ignorance, hate, and bigotry instead of condemning it. Thank you for your input.

Nobody's suggesting he shouldn't have been allowed to say what he said. But he certainly should be condemned for it.

The Direct Will of GOD struck him down in all of its mighty power. Let none question that he had it coming, or it would not have happened.

It's not just gays. Look at these quotes:

Quote:
[i]f Chief Justice Warren and his associates had known God's word and had desired to do the Lord's will, I am quite confident that the 1954 decision would never have been made ... The facilities [for the races] should be separate. When God has drawn a line of distinction, we should not attempt to cross that line."
Quote:
In my age, we laughed at *****s, fairies, and anyone who was thought to be a homosexual. It was a hideous thing, and no one talked about it, much less ever confessed to being a homosexual.
Quote:
Herpes is the judgment of God upon the nation.
Quote:
God's plan is for men to be manly and spiritual in all areas of Christian leadership ... In the Christian home the woman is to be submissive.
Quote:
When we as a country again acknowledge God as our creator and Jesus Christ as the Savior of mankind, we will be able to turn this nation around economically as well as in every other way.
Quote:
The idea of religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country
Quote:
We need to return to the McCarthy era.
(my emphasis on the next quote)

Quote:
The role of government is to minister justice and to protect the rights of its citizens by being a terror to evildoers within and without the nation.
Sure, he was entitled to his own opinion. But we were entitled to make fun of him for it, just as conservatives are entitled to make fun of us. And now that he's dead, well, let's just say my mother says I'm being a little too human about his death. Because he IS a bigot.

As I said, R.I.P., you son of a bitch. -CSM

The point is, your actions are doing just that: encouraging hate.


The man was wrong on several levels, and I admit, I first had a feeling of relief upon hearing the news. However, your actions are hateful towards him - that hardly helps the situation any.

According to his own beliefs, he is now living it up in Valhalla with Odin, Bragi, Thor, etc.(Did I get the religion right?) So, shouldn't we be happy for him?

^No no, his is the one with angels and saints. I can understand the confusion though.

Anyway, I see no cause not to celebrate when an unequivocally terrible person dies. His presence was a continuing source of backwards thought and religious fundamentalism, possibly the worst of all modern evils. You're not going to shame me out of this one.

Well, he is in a place where he won't be troubled by homosexuals, feminists, other religions, and science. We should all be happy for him. And hope not to follow him.

^You mean Hell, right?

I see no cause to celebrate when anyone dies. But I do still see a cause to make fun of him. -CSM

Much like Jack Thompson, Jerry Falwell was a hilarious fountain of nonsense. The world is a better, albeit duller place without him.

Actually, it's not really. Jerry Falwell has hundreds of imitators who want to rise up and take his place. James Dobson, Tony Perkins, Gary Bauer, just to name a few. -CSM
