"Reverend" Jerry Falwell is dead, died of heart failure, as best as I can guess from the news reports.

It is hard not to speak ill of him, when he has skewered the Christian faith in his crusade to make everyone a part of his church and his radical views.  He blended politics with faith in a combination so finely interwoven that it continues to threaten to turn the US into Iran.  He has ruined not only many of a person, but many a religion.  It is hard to forgive his sins, when the destruction is so great that absolution would be beyond him.

I cannot see anything good of him.  I can only be glad that he is gone, so that his victims can finally heal knowing that his reign of terror is over.

Aww. But think of all the comedy that we're missing out on without him. Tinky Winky teaches kids to be gay... Where else can you get that kind of quality humor? There's bound to be dozens of other examples of silliness that no-one else could have brought that made millions laugh at the absurdity of it all.

We get that from the Vatican itself, no need to go through a value-added middleman.

The vatican are a bunch of pansy wusses now and aren't all that humorous. ;)

Good riddance to the scum. He couldn't argue or debate with logic or reason, nor could he argue from a Biblical stance because most of what he stated wasn't even in the Bible.

Pat Robertson isn't much better. He at least doesn't (well not as often) advocate killing everyone who is not of his particular brand of religion.

For a list of Mr. Fallwell's imfamy.

I will not cheer his death. To do such a thing would be to imitate the man, and I REFUSE to give him that much victory over my soul. Rather, I will mourn a life wasted, and wonder what he would have been had not the poison of hate taken root in his being.
