Jerry Fallwell, Dead



Recommended Posts

Looks like Satan has a new right hand man in hell then.

LOL!! Well, since you brought it up.... :youcandothis:

I don't want to see anyone suffer, not sure if he did or not. I just caught the tail end of the news. Haven't looked it up yet. But the earth certainly won't be at a loss without him.

Not everyone feels that way...sheesh it's a shame that we have to talk ill of a dead man. I for one admired and respected him and feel his loss.

If he didn't leave such a legacy of hate, then no one would speak ill of him.

That's the legacy he left, and obviously he created a tremendous amount of ill will and bad feelings. When people are truly good and loving, when they die no one speaks badly of them but rather Celebrate their life and say kind things in turn.

He's reaping precisely what he sowed.

I agree with Sunta. No one speaks ill about someone with nothing to speak ill about. Jerry Falwell was not a saint, and I hate it when people pretend that death somehow washes a person clean of all the bad things that they've done.

I was not a follower of Falwell but I do believe in God and Christian values. The man is dead and I'm sure many will mourn him. It's not my place to judge him.

I think it is fair to judge the results of his work that others are left to deal with. He's gone and doesn't have to deal with it, others do.

It's easy to excuse bad behavior by saying the person is dead, it is quite a different matter to clean up political messes he made.

That's really super that you actually follow Christian values.

However, he did not. He was a person who judged people very harshly and created alot of hatred for people that didn't deserve his judgment.

His venom against people suffering from AIDS, his put-downs of women, and his vile attitude toward Gays were certainly more typical of an anti-Christ than a Christian.

He contributed to a social environment of discrimination, hate, and anger against people who are just trying to live their lives and live peacefully in the world.

Surely his cruel words against people living with AIDS caused a huge amount of pain and hurt as did his campaigning against feminism and the ACLU. His wish to squash people's civil liberties and his blaming of Gay people and others for 9/11 was an outrage, and a hurt that won't be forgotten.

The world is better off without his nasty and terrible venom.

I'm sure glad he equipped his son's to take over for him and continue his legacy :youcandothis:

I know, again, I am in the minority. I'm really very comfortable with that. Those who stand for everything, stand for nothing. He stood, to the best of his understanding, to the principles of the bible. I'm sure he made mistakes, he was human after all...but he was a man that stood for something, fought for it, and I am SO glad his work will continue in his sons.

It's not just the fact that he was human and made mistakes. He taught hate and filth. I was raised xtian and that's not how I was raised that xtianity is supposed to be at all. Some people appreciate and value that kind of xtianity, I don't. That is the very behavior that makes xtianity look so darn bad.

His son's (and daughter, btw) don't have the following he did. He was losing his following after 9/11 anyway. Even the whacko xtians couldn't see how that was right let alone logical. (And by whacko I'm referring to the extreme fundie types, not the normals.)

Sadly for his family, the world is a better place without him.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
