I went to his church once when I was younger and living in VA. They make you pay to sit there. It isn't like a collection plate. You have to pay or you can't stay. Of course this was a long time ago.

I feel bad for his friends and followers who are grieving today....

I did not like his abuse of the church, or his abuse of his position. While he might have thought he was doing God's work, it was one of the things that pushed me away from organized religion. If anything, he did a good thing for me....so maybe I should thank him!

Met him once. Surprisingly nice man. Alot of the image of him is a caricature created by the media. One of the first evangelicals to endorse mixed-race marriages - in a Southern state no less. Still lived in the same modest home they first built 30 years ago, still driving pickup trucks and moderate SUVs. I think he stuck his foot in his mouth too many times and he could come across as abrasive, but to meet him in person, I got an entirely different view of him.

No it wouldn't. I don't think I could care less, actually.

He was Mickey Gilley's cousin.

Not that impressive.

He was also Jerry Lee Lewis's cousin.

And he didn't ever marry him.

THAT...is impressive.

The Moral Majority thing (which is neither) killed my give-a-sh!+ for the guy, other than that.

But, RIP Mr. Falwell. More have done worse than you.

You're thinking of televangelist Jimmy Swaggart

I've also seen hooker scandals associated w/ Jerry today - those were also Jimmy, btw.

Shoot.

And I was doing so well at being informed, instead of just shooting off my mouth.

Oh well, the rest of my statement stands.

If anything,
At least Tinkie Winkie is safe from verbal abuse now.

Purple indeed!

I never liked him. His involvement with the Watergate scandal and later destroying Enron documents, left me with feelings of resentment.

I still can't believe he gets blamed for that. It was a reprint of a NY Times article which pointed out how gay men had adopted the character named Tinkie Winkie as a sort of mascot and had sewn patches on their backpacks and jackets, etc... All the Liberty paper did was reprint the article (with permission) and offer a short commentary. It wasn't even Falwell that wrote the commentary.

Falwell was the grassy knoll shooter in Dallas 11/22/63 as well. . .
