Goodnight, Sweet Televangelist

Bigots around the world lost a leader and friend today, with the passing of Jerry Falwell. Though the cause of death has not yet been announced, we have learned from Liberty University Executive Vice President that Reverend Jerry had "a history of heart challenges.” How ironic that a man such as Falwell, who had such a huge, caring, generous heart, could have any problems in that organ of love.

But let us not mourn. Let us keep Falwell's memory, love, and heart alive, through preaching his message. Perhaps my favorite Fallwelism was his reflection on 9 "never forget" 11:

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."

If we, as a nation, come together and keep our fingers raised and pointed at the sodomites and deviants, then we will be spreading the Gospel According to Jerry.
