I saw the title to this thread, and you're wrong.

Michael Moore, Sean Penn, and Alec Baldwin are all (unfortunately) still alive.

Celebrating the death of anyone is offensive to me.

You're entitled to your opinion, as I am to mine. I personally found every breath that man took to be offensive.

kinda like praying for the death of your enemies or claiming diseases are punishment for behaviours?

Wish him dead? No. But reading some recaps of his life....that was a bizarre, bizarre man. And that's the best I can say about him.

"Television preachers with bad hair and dimples - the God honest truth is it ain't that simple." Think Jerry or Pat ever heard Fruitcakes?

I ALWAYS THINK OF FALWELL WHEN I HEAR JIMMY SING:

TELEVISION PREACHERS WITH BAD HAIR AND DIMPLES, THE TRUTH IS IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE...

If there is a God, which I think there is, at a minimum Jerry Falwell is "strainin to do some esplaining" right now.

He was to right wing Christianity what Sharpton/Jackson are to civil rights causes - the perfect embodiment of a hypocrite.

Falwell was in the stone age on so many issues. My favorite recent quote was that global warming is a hoax because "God would not allow for global warming." God will allow for Hurricane Katrina, earthquakes, tornados, famine, starving kids, etc??? Seems convenient that God would not allow for something that is so on target with corporate America/ GWB's denial that there really is any sort of global warming problem.

I wonder if GWB will attend Falwell's funeral. Maybe not as he doesn't have to worry about kow towing to the far right any longer.

In my opinion, Falwell was a greedy, corrupt person. I think it is highly disingenous when news of someone's death is glossed over for a recitation of the "good" which they did.

Well, Jerry, you didn't get to make good on your personal promise to make sure Hillary Clinton does not win in 2008. Maybe Falwell was thinking of her formidable campaign financing. Perhaps he was deciding whether to make an Oral Roberts type call for money or God was going to call him to heaven. Maybe God just finally had enough.

Asshat? Yes. Wish him dead? No.
I'm happy to let his "maker" make the last judgment.

Ironically, I was thinking about TV preachers this morning and how many people are only exposed to their type of theology and how sad that is. Unfortunatly only the extremist Christians get press time (Robertson, Falwell, Phelps, etc.) I really think that Falwell and others like him do a disservice to the Christian gospel an do more to hurt people and divide people than to help. I believe the gospel is about bringing people together and that no one on earth has the right to judge anyone else. I do not wish death or punishment on anyone but I do think Falwell will have some 'splainin' to do and hopefully he can finally see the truth of love and reconcilation that God has.
