Regarding 9/11. “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.’”

"Labor unions should study and read the Bible instead of asking for more money. When people get right with God, they are better workers."

Regarding public schools, "I hope to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we don't have public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them."

“AIDS is not just God’s punishment for homosexuals; it is God’s punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.”

"If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being."

Who'd have thought that Larry Flint would (sorta) out live this guy?

I sure hope he believed in the correct God.

Jerry from the grave 15 May 2007

It's tempting to want to dance on the guys grave already. But sadly, there are many more religious right knuckleheads in the United States of America to take Falwell's place, and all possess a warped view of the world.

Did you know that Falwell's Liberty University (Lynchburg, VA) claims to hold a 6,000 year old dinosaur bone? This means that they believe that dinosaurs and humans occupied the earth simultaneously. There are thousands of students earning degrees in God knows what at Liberty who firmly believe this to be true.

What's more delusional individuals like this were, and still are being appointed to influential positions in Washington D.C. within in the Bush Administration. Harriet Myers anyone? John Ashcroft?

Dammit, will this American-idol-watching ever wake up!

And Bush supporters wonder where all of the vitriol comes from. It's not from gays and feminists. It's secularist America - the 20th century Jeffersonians.
It's not that Christians don't believe in Evolution, it's that they are brainwashed as to the consequences of not believing in it, i.e. certain eternal fire and damnation.

Hatred for secularists and the scientific illiterification of America - those will be Falwell's legacy.

And get ready because it is only going to get worse once Bush is out of office:

"Creation Museum" sounds like a hoot! I've always wanted to visit the Flinstones.

Oh, and Pat Robertson STILL has over 150 graduates from his "law school" peppered throughout the Bush Administration.
