Fanatics know no common uniform.  They come from all walks of life.  Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Republican, Democrat, etc etc etc.  

That's why some of the broad-brushing around here ("the a-rabs hate our freedoms!  nuke 'em!  they're all just a bunch of ji-had-ists!") is so frustrating.

Rest in piece, one of the few who stood against the moral corruption destroying the fabric our democracy rests on.

I'm pretty sure you'd be surprised at how wrong you are about this.  It is apparent to me that most of the posters here are very passionate about the subjects they post about here and I'd bet that most discuss IRL just as they post here.

Thinking that you are among a small percentage of posters who believe and live by their tone and content of their posts is at most speculative. Since you obviously don't know this as fact it's nothing more than an attack meant to prop up your own position in this argument and a weak one at that.

Saying people need an asswhipping for expressing their opinions in a forum designed for just that is another attack that's most often used from a position of weakness, as in this case.

The fire is dieing down a little. Shouldn't we throw on a little J Vernon Mcgee. Throw on a little Rev Ike. Throw on a few dead Popes. Just throw everyone who lived by their convictions and weren't mainstream liberal on the fire. Lets get this grave ritual smoking. Dance.

In the thousands of hours of sermons Falwell delivered, if you can't find anything positive to take, you are indeed an idiot. You are the definition of an idiot. No one preaches for thousands of hours, decades,  without saying stupid things. No one preaches for thousands of hours, decades, without saying great things. Where's the list of the good stuff? Hidden? Why?

Christopher Hitchens (esteemed atheist) said of Falwell and his death, "If they gave him an enema he could be buried in a matchbox."
How's that?

Can you think of two things worth reading by Karl Marx?
Can you think of two things worth reading by L Ron Hubbard?
Can you think of two things worth reading by Hunter S. Thompson (hey DoKa Gonzo :))?
Can you think of two things worth reading by Jerry Falwell?

A bonafide idiot can't find substance in a life of writing. That's just a fact.

I KNOW what a steamed lobster is; they're really good.

I'm wondering what the heck an "esteemed atheist" is.

Who esteems an atheist? Only other steaming atheists, as far as I can tell.

Not much to build esteem upon.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

There's nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge.

I think the message here is that Evangelical preachers, fire and brimstone preachers have been declared politically incorrect and should be vilified upon death.

A man's legacy is made of many things, but how he treats others is a decent part of it.

For a man who's life SHOULD have been filled with understanding and deeper thought....he sure failed on a national stage on that.

Sadly, he lost the moral respect of many Americans by saying and doing things that embarassed himself.
