The same way I would in any other persons death, remorse and sympathy for the love ones left behind. And a joyous feeling of celebrating a new life for Mr. Falwell, with God our Creator the God he served passionately and adamantly for. Even if I had differing views of him and his preaching style. It's the same like when Islamic religous leaders quote the Koran, I may disagree with them but still respect the life of that person.

I remember when Moral Majority started. I was a young person, living in Florida, and our family would drive occasionally to the church he pastored and attend.
My parents will be devastated, as they never stopped supporting Falwell, though many of his early supporters parted ways over various things.
I feel like a great uncle has died. One I did not know well, but family all the same.

As a teen, I hated the guy becuase he attacked the music I played and listened to. Over time I came to realize that all his ranting never changed my music choices, and my music choices never stopped me from being an upstanding citizen and contributory to my community- not a drug crazed devil worshipping serial murderer. So I came out all right ,and the music industry probably got more publicity than it deserved, thanks to him.
Unlike certain other Religous leaders, Imams, Mullahs, etc..
He never instructed people to kill in the name of his god.
He did not implement large groups around the world dedicated to the teachings of hate & violence.
In the end, he means nothing, especially by comparison.

The same way I feel about the death of anyone I don't know. Apathetic.
It's sad for his family and friends, but as for me personally, I'm not gonna get upset over people I don't know.

Falwell was a man whose intolerent views are the antithesis of liberalism and clear headed, lucid, thinking. But, he made his mark on his generation, and, for this, he should be respected.

Well, he might find out that being a minister might not be enough to get him through the Pearly Gates. I think I'll send a stuffed Tinky Winky doll to put on his casket!!!

We must suffer his ignorance and disruption no longer. The sad part is that some other jerk is going to take his place, I'm quite sure.
There's nothing like a vacuum in a cult of personality.

I am sorry for his family. My condolences to them, I am sure he was loved by them. I didn't really listen to him very much. I think he was very judgemental .
