He and alot of others like him used religion to show prejudice against Afro-Americans, women, and gays.<BR/>It too me years to come to terms with my own sexuality, yes I am gay. All that time I have been a very committed person to my Christian faith---I can honestly say that I hope Mr. Falwell doesn't get judged by our Creator like he judged so many. I and many gays were affected in ways that straight people will never understand. Hitler was nice to children and dogs too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577833526061846671.post-85540753922284533882007-05-18T19:49:00.000-07:002007-05-18T19:49:00.000-07:00Darrell,I always enjoy your perspectives, even whe...Darrell,<BR/>I always enjoy your perspectives, even when I don't always agree with you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577833526061846671.post-87970991211113914082007-05-18T04:03:00.000-07:002007-05-18T04:03:00.000-07:00You my neighbor, are in danger of hell fire. Forg...You my neighbor, are in danger of hell fire. Forget Jerry Falwell, the standard we are judged against on the day you or I cross over into the unseen world, is sinless perfection. That's what God demands to enter his heaven. Neither you nor I, nor anyone else in all creation can come close. What are we to do with this dilemma? A long look at the cross of Christ, God's son- he became sin for us, that God might accept us into heaven. It's a mystery, but it's all in the book. I challenge you to read it. I will pray for thr Lord to open your eyes to it's truth. You are loved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577833526061846671.post-48950201515883087052007-05-17T20:15:00.000-07:002007-05-17T20:15:00.000-07:00But, was he not the source of a good deal of hate ...But, was he not the source of a good deal of hate speech throughout his career as a public person? Should that just be ignored? In death, even Nixon the crook was praised. Now I keep hearing that Falwell was a really nice guy and probably a wonderful grandfather who liked to give people surprise bear hugs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577833526061846671.post-31055617006538229012007-05-17T18:55:00.000-07:002007-05-17T18:55:00.000-07:00One of the best perspectives voiced so far - THANK...One of the best perspectives voiced so far - THANK YOUUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14386708393200712707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577833526061846671.post-39360892790108122792007-05-17T02:29:00.000-07:002007-05-17T02:29:00.000-07:00Great post.This is a post you don't see across the...Great post.<BR/>This is a post you don't see across the internet, a moderate one.<BR/>Not all gushing about Falwell's near saint-like perfection nor the insane hatred.<BR/>A great post.Jim Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14537674225795824927noreply@blogger.com
