Jerry Falwell is Dead; There's Not a Wet Eye in the House

Now if we could only get rid of the "reverend" Fred Phelps!

Matt Foreman, Executive Director, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force:

"The death of a family member or friend is always a sad occasion and we express our condolences to all those who were close to the Rev. Jerry Falwell. Unfortunately, we will always remember him as a founder and leader of America’s anti-gay industry, someone who exacerbated the nation’s appalling response to the onslaught of the AIDS epidemic, someone who demonized and vilified us for political gain and someone who used religion to divide rather than unite our nation."

Joe Solmonese, President, Human Rights Campaign:

"Reverend Falwell’s death today causes my thoughts to turn toward the members of our community who have at great personal sacrifice contended with the Reverend’s work and teachings. As I remember Reverend Falwell’s life, I also remember all of the families of people who have died of AIDS. Reverend Falwell’s legacy is not about the tenants of Jesus’ ministry such as healing the sick and standing with the disenfranchised but about shunning and ridiculing those who have suffered and died of AIDS and their families. Many faith leaders today are moving away from his divisive approach and toward the compassion and inclusiveness that Jesus modeled every day of his ministry."

I certainly hope so.

Maybe Falwell was a mod.

Can't say I'll miss him.

I was reading the Anna Nicole Smith dies thread the other day. All those people whinning about how tragic it is when ANYONE dies...

Where are all those broken hearts now?

I HAVEN'T SMILED SO MUCH IN MONTHS

God's coming for Robertson and Phelps next.

The name Robertson was unbeknownst to me before reading that post Liverpool so I wikipedia'd him.

I haven't giggled reading something like that in a long time under some of the remarks he made regarding meteors and malfunctioning earpieces that prevented him from knowing what he was agreeing to (not like he wouldn't have anyway "had he known"). At least this dead bastard knew enough to "apologize." I bet he is real sorry now that he missed seeing the meteor come to obliterate the gays.

"Ding! Dong!" etc etc

yeah, but hey, everyone would get suspicious of god got rid of all of them at once.

Whatever. That is how the discussion of He Who Must Not Be Named started, Roxy. You mourn in your straight man way way and let those who were the target of his unabashed and unrelenting hatred celebrate in ours.

My thoughts and prayers are with Satan at this time as he adjusts to the competition he now has in Hell.
