:twisted:

"I do question the sincerity of people like the Reverend Martin Luther King..." Jerry Falwell - 1965

"Archbishop Desmond Tutu is a phony." - Jerry Falwell - August 24, 1985

"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.'" - Jerry Falwell - September 2001

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

I hope he suffered.

I told my coworker when the cnn breaking news email came through "oh, good. the world just unloaded a bit of evil."

I understand that you hate the guy for the nasty and mean things he says about abortionists, pagans, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians , etc., and I'm sure he put down alot of people , and has taken it upon himself to condemn to Hell people who only God can judge.....don't go down to his level....he is dead now , and his soul is in the hands of the creator....when someone dies , no matter how evil you believe that person to be , no matter how much you hate him/her , you must not hold any grudges or wish that person pain and torment, because the only thing that is guaranteed in this world is that you will die , and you wouldn't want anyone wishing bad things on you after you have passed.

sorry Em26,
I'm sticking with the schadenfreude

I take your point in general, but not in this case - the harm that guy did will live long after he's gone.

I think that the thing I find saddest is that he'll never know that all that will happen to him now is that he'll rot in the dirt.

Unless of course... he's deified, cannonized, L-Ron-ized, or one of the other available means followers have of propagating evil after the death of the demagogue. Best we can hope for is not just rotting in earth, but swift fading from public memory.

brooklynpotter

it's events like this that actual make me wish i weren't an atheist, so i'd know in my heart that here's not going to merely lie in the cold ground.

caseopele

brooklynpotter, I was thinking the same exact thing.

There was a rumor floating around that he died of bowel obstruction. If it's true they'll never let it out, but really...how apropos.

brooklynpotter

nah, he was struck down by the god i don't believe in. the kind and benevolent one he made appear spiteful and hateful.

I was wondering whether he got eaten by worms like Herod the Great. Or maybe it was a plague of locusts and wild honey.

Jerry Falwell was responsible in part for getting over 30 million evangelicals to register Republican and vote for George Bush.

In a way he was responsible for getting GWB elected twice and bring the USA down to the state it is in now.

One down 29,999,999 to go.

You guys are raged!
