No matter your views, condolences to his family.

>>No matter your views

Apparently you aren't familiar with the man. Here are choice quotes -

-AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.

-The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country.

-The whole global warming thing is created to destroy America's free enterprise system and our economic stability.

anyway, this should be moved to the political forum.

the Moral Majority is neither

God is Love.
That man was not love.

I'm very familer with his hatred and in no way support his beliefs.

However I can look past it to send my condolences to his wife and family. By doing so I show that I am a bigger man than he ever was.

This only belongs in the political forum if one wishes to make it political. I do not.

WILL NOT BE MISSED.

Somebody let me know where he ends up being buried. I will be in the Virginia/Wash DC area later this year and would DEARLY love to dance and urinate on that particular grave.

Despite my dislike for the man, I feel the death of anyone (even Bin Laden) is sad.

Is it really good to be glad someone is dead because of their opinions etc.? I was always taught to respect the person, disagree with the behavior/opinions. I guess you can't stop "progress". kj.

Couldn't care less about Falwell's opinions. It was his immoral and unChristian ACTIONS, his HYPOCRISY, that earned the wrath and hatred of millions of people around the world.
