Maybe somebody's already posted this, but I think it's a fitting
tribute to Falwell...

WTF cactus? Are you saying that living a Christian life makes you physically
immortal?

Given his beliefs, I can't imagine why. Is he not supposed to be in a happy

of chocolate, where the children dance and laugh and play with gumdrop

And besides, what atrocities, and how many ironies, does someone have to
commit before gloating over their demise is justified?

I would say somewhere between Arafat and Hitler. Falwell was a
monster, but I don't think he had blood on his hands, not like someone
like Arafat.

The ***** took money from my grandmother, when she was alone &

A direct personal connection, of course, gives one a different
perspective. (That said, and I understand your distress, your
grandmother probably gave him the money. Under false pretenses,
perhaps, but voluntarily.)

WTF cactus? Are you saying that living a Christian life makes you

Too late. He's dead.
It's not a time to gloat. That makes us as bad as them. My

Given his beliefs, I can't imagine why. Is he not supposed to be

And besides, what atrocities, and how many ironies, does someone

I would say somewhere between Arafat and Hitler. Falwell was a
monster, but I don't think he had blood on his hands, not like
someone
like Arafat.

I can't say that this barrier to civilization being gone doesn't
gladden me. I think an atheist forum is fine for gloating....however
if you were near people who liked him...to gloat would be terribly
rude.
And yet, the odds are pretty good that they would not be so kind, if
the situation were reversed.
Indeed. Were you on alt.atheism back in '95 when Madalyn Murry O'Hair
was found to be dead? Oh, the fundies capered like *mad* by the
flickering firelight for the better part of a year in glee over her
death. And they'er supposed (by themselves) to be *better* than we
are.
Chris Lee is a more noble spirit than I am; I am *glad* Falwell's
dead. Now if Jebus would just swoop down and take Pat Robertson too,
things might have a snowball's chance of improving here in 'Merica.

Yup. The earliest post of mine that I can find for alt.atheism is in
'94...but I think I was here in '93.
