Good Riddance To The Bad Rubbish!!

Excuse me while I dance a jig!! JERRY FALWELL IS DEAD!! It couldn't have happened to a "nicer" person!!

AOL actually had the nerve to title its story on this as "Christian Right Loses A Hero." Hero my ass!! But I guess he would be considered a hero to the Christian Right given the fact that he spouted off about shit that they agree with. But he wasn't a hero to anyone else. He was scum!!

Falwell has found himself at the center of several controversies, such as the one sparked by his comments two days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in which he seemed to blame "abortionists," gays, lesbians, the ACLU and People for American Way for causing the attacks, saying they "helped this happen."

Courtesy of BrainyQuote, here are some of Falwell's statements.

Homosexuality is Satan's diabolical attack upon the family that will not only have a corrupting influence upon our next generation, but it will also bring down the wrath of God upon America.

If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being.

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

Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questions.

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

We will see a breakdown of the family and family values if we decide to approve same-sex marriage, and if we decide to establish homosexuality as an acceptable alternative lifestyle with all the benefits that go with equating it with the heterosexual lifestyle.

Here are some more Falwell quotes from Positive Atheism's Big List.

If we are going to save America and evangelize the world, we cannot accommodate secular philosophies that are diametrically opposed to Christian truth ... We need to pull out all the stops to recruit and train 25 million Americans to become informed pro-moral activists whose voices can be heard in the halls of Congress.

The Jews are returning to their land of unbelief. They are spiritually blind and desperately in need of their Messiah and Savior.

The ACLU is to Christians what the American Nazi party is to Jews.

I do not believe the homosexual community deserves minority status. One's misbehavior does not qualify him or her for minority status. Blacks, Hispanics, women, etc., are God-ordained minorities who do indeed deserve minority status.

I hope Falwell enjoys spending eternity in HELL with his buddies because he certainly isn't in heaven!!
