Rev. Jerry Falwell died today. Do you feel the loss?

Answer 1

A man who mislead millions, in my humble opinion.

Answer 2

Yes, I do. I feel the loss that comes from wasted potential. Falwell, like so many other notable Christian leaders, seemed to have started out with the right attitude and with good intentions. Again, like so many others, he turned into a caricature of his former self.

He could have done much more good than he did, and for that I feel bad.

Answer 3

No. I know to his family it was a loss. But not to me. I am tired of Falwell posts.

Answer 4

No matter what you think about Rev. Falwell’s politics you must acknowledge that he was a good man and a Godly man. He lived by three precepts: "Is it ethically correct? Is it biblically correct? Is it morally correct?" He never compromised his belief or his principles.

The fact that you may not agree with his positions on abortion, homosexuality, pornography and bans on school prayer does not make him evil. He did much good in life and made a positive impact on the lives of millions. In addition to his ministry he built a University, Christian elementary schools, homes for unwed mothers and a home for alcoholics.

To those who would denigrate his character I would ask, “What positive contributions have you made in this life?” Rev. Falwell was clear in his vision and staunch in his values; he did not waiver and in the final analysis this world is a little poorer today.

My wife summed it up thusly, “If you don’t have something good to say, don’t say anything at all.”

Answer 5

I definitely did. I've been listening to him for years. I remember years ago he was giving away to anyone who wrote him a lapel pin which was a pair of gold (colored)baby's feet. Which meant, of course, allow children to be born. I still have that lapel pin. It's precious. His sermons were fantastic.
