he is not the person I would ever want representing Christianity. No wonder the radical muslims think American Christians are crazy evil people
He was a fat, loud mouthed, right wing super conservative jerk. Most times his mouth was in gear before his brain. He preffered pointing fingers at "sinners" and raking in the dough from the blind sheep that followed him that he really didnt do anything to help those people he was pointing his finger at.
I would never wish harm on anyone, but he is one fat jack *** I wont miss.

I don't "hate" Jerry Falwell, but I can't say I'm sad to know that he won't be spreading his messages of hate any more. Plain and simple, that man was a hypocrite. Anyone who teaches people to hate others for their differences in the name of Jesus, is living a lie and deserves to rot in their hell. My best friend's father had the unfortunate pleasure of working with Falwell and he was invited to their house a few times. My friend and her brother have all told me what an arrogant prick he was. If that man was a Christian, then the president is a Muslim!

Anyone who makes himself a "lightning rod" like Jerry
will have lots of people hating them and some people
loving them as well.
I knew Jerry's family.
I've been to the house where he grew up.
As a youngster, he saw his father shoot and kill his older brother when the boy was in a drunken rage.
So the most unlikely people have tragic dysfunctional families.
I don't agree with a lot of Jerry's beliefs, but his college up there in Lynchburg seems pretty good.

He was a hate monger.
Blaming 911 on Pagans and gays.
After the gangbang rape of Jessica Haughn, he and Jim Baker joked about what a good "nap" they had before their big sermon.
I don't know why we'd be so happy about someone like that no longer being an insult to human intellect.

The majority of the religious population found his views offensive to God. The non-religious found him to be manipulative. He was the person Marx was talking about when he spoke of the opiate of the masses. It is unlikely that his view that feminists caused the attack on the United States on 9/11 is the view of a mentally healthy individual.

Easiest way to be hated is to have an opinion and yell it loud enough. Especially if that opinion is slanted against the majority.

Three reasons:
1. He advocated a destruction of Constitutional protections that created a separation of church and state.
2. He was a racist.
3. He descriminated against anyone who was different than he was, and advocated in favor of the rich over the poor.

It's a world full of hate. Just look at all the nasty laughter on here because someone died. I guess it was the same as when Anna Nicole died. It's always funny until it happens to you.

He was self-righteous, pompous, and he had a knack for saying incredibly stupid things. (Tinky Winky is gay, AIDS is god's punishment-ect.) I'm ashamed that we're from the same state. Thankfully, he's gone now.
