I must concur with SewerBull. This thread runs the risk of becoming political and religious, so try not to get too out of hand.
Can I come to the party!!

Oh come on. This is a human being. I know some of you disagree with his politics and religion (Heck I consider myself a conservative Christian and I didn't agree with every (or most) thing(s) he stood for or said) but come on, his family is grieving, his students are saddened. It seems tasteless to be so heartless because of the opinions of the deceased.

EDIT: Rosie on the View ticked me off because she said she was saddened by Dr. King's daughter's death but that Falwell's death "wasn't as sad." I don't agree with Rosie O'Donnell, but I'm not gonna throw a party at her untimely death.

Reading your comments throughout this thread kind of makes me wonder if you are human.

He's a quote from Falwell out of an ABC article about how much he truly hated on people who didn't agree with his views. "Anyone who commits violence, in any way against gay people or promiscuous heterosexuals or whatever, is not doing it in the name of the Lord."

I dunno maybe I have stricter definitions of evil but I wouldn't consider Falwell it. Misguided? Absolutely. But...I guess I really don't have much nice things to say about him other than "not evil". Now Fred Phelps, that man is evil. Considering how many funerals he has ruined, parties thrown after his demise seem rather justified.

I've got mixed feelings over this. He was a fellow Christian, but at the same time he went about giving us a bad name.

Oh, and when Rosie O'Donnell meets her maker, I have a feeling her legacy is pretty much going to be that every time she spoke the attraction was that it was a trainwreck waiting to happen.

The man's gone, so let's have all the controversy he made die with him. Sound good?



Now, let's cheer up...




TINKY WINKY!

The humans around here have convinced me I'm an alien too.

That said, I don't think Falwell was evil. Other than using God to rip off old people.

OK, that was pretty evil, actually.

So the WBC church who protests at all the Iraq soldiers funerals plan to also protest at Jerry Falwell's funeral.

The 70-member church, led by the Rev. Fred Phelps, has protested the military funerals of U.S. troops, believing that their deaths are God's punishment for America's tolerance of homosexuality

Yeah I read that today (the post on the WBC page...I check it every so often to remind myself that there are wacko fundamentalists in my faith too.). I'm also destined for hell then cause I always have had a problem with the "truth" Westboro Baptist Church "preaches."

Let's not make this religious, even if it's against Phelps and his family. Religion is religion and thus not allowed to be discussed here on the forums.

Actually, I do agree that her death was sadder. I mean, her father was shot by some @^&*(%&^&, her mother died a year or two ago, and now to die at age 50 something... that is bad.

I actually did the Crayon Shin-Chan naked butt dance when I heard the news of Jerry Far-Right's passing. I DO think he is evil, using the name of God and Jesus for evil machievellian schemes. Blaming Sept 11 on Gays and Women who basically don't want to be tied down to the kitchen table and just spit out babies 24/7... that's deeply treasonous in its own right.

I guess these guys hate gays since it's not in fashion to hate blacks anymore... and he did his fair share of that back in the day.

I do feel deeply sorry for his family and friends, but I have no sympathy in any greedy powermad anus who corrupts the beauty of religion for their own political purposes.
