So Long Rev. Jerry Falwell
As you may or may not know by now, Reverend Jerry Falwell passed away today. I never wish ill upon anybody, even my enemies – but I’m still struggling to find anything good about a man who said things like this:
If you’re not a born-again Christian, you’re a failure as a human being.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. 52-53, from Albert J Menendez and Edd Doerr, The Great Quotations on Religious FreedomAIDS is not just God’s punishment for homosexuals; it is God’s punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.
– Jerry Falwell (attributed: source unknown)The idea that religion and politics don’t mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country.
– Rev Jerry Falwell, Sermon, July 4, 1976The 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!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.
– Rev Jerry Falwell, USA Today Chat, quoted from The Religious Freedom Coalition, “The Two faces of Jerry Falwell”AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals. To oppose it would be like an Israelite jumping in the Red Sea to save one of Pharoah’s chariotters.

So… I’ll just say “so long” and leave it at that.
Hm, they’ve actually hit the nail right on the head over at Americans United for the Separation of Church and State.
LOL Here are some more quotes from him. That’s really it, I swear.
