Speaking ill of the dead
Rather than jumping on the bandwagon and speaking ill of Jerry Falwell, who passed away yesterday, I’m going to let Falwell speak ill of himself. My own opinion will come later.
“I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way — all of them who have tried to secularize America — I point the finger in their face and say, “You helped this happen.”
– Rev Jerry Falwell, The Washington Post, September 14, 2001“I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won’t have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!”
– Rev Jerry Falwell, America Can Be Saved, 1979 pp. 52-53AIDS is not just God’s punishment for homosexuals; it is God’s punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.
– Jerry Falwell“The Jews are returning to their land of unbelief. They are spiritually blind and desperately in need of their Messiah and Savior.”
– Jerry Falwell, Listen, America!“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.”
– Jerry FalwellTextbooks are Soviet propaganda.”
–Jerry Falwell, 1980
