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.”

There is some good in all humans however it is very hard to say anything nice about Rev. Farewell. I pray for his safe passage to the afterlife and for God to reward him justly.

As the evil person that he was. How else? Are you suggesting that some Christians would rather forget his evil deeds and focus only on the fact that he pretended to believe in some god?

It is hard as a Christian to know what to do with this man's death. His theology of Dispensational Theology is horrible and in fact leads to horrible foreign policy. We have lost a brother in Christ but he is, if truly honest of his faith, in heaven with Christ being accepted as righteous and honestly, that is a little hard for me to swallow. God's justice has provailed in any case and that is to be rejoiced about.

Some loved him
Some did not know him
Some hated him.
He loved people and wanted people to come to the saving knowledge of Jesus

He was a traitor to the American ideal of religious freedom.
