The Reverend Jerry Falwell says global warming is "Satan's attempt to
redirect the church's primary focus" from evangelism to
environmentalism.

First, his proper title would be "Dr". 2nd, before you jump all over
me for "defending" Dr Falwell, I am no Dr Falwell fan.
I am merely suggesting that if you are going to talk about the man,
you should use his title.

He doesn't merit it, not holding such a degree from an accredited
institution.

Ah! Then you would step into the shoes of the Judge!

Don't be bloody stupid. It's not judging someone to note that he isn't
what you claim him to be.

???
But you haven't! You have merely attempted to assassinate the
character of someone I know.

I would not!

And having met him (I have! Have you?) I would say he is perhaps
misguided in some areas, but otherwise, a sincere man.

This is irrelevant to whether he is entitled to the honorific of
"Doctor", which in normal discourse, is reserved for those who have
actually earned it.

"Aren't we all?"

2ndly, I met Dr Falwell at the California Graduate School of Theology,
which I attended. Last I was aware, they ARE accredited, though He
may have received his degree before the accreditation was given.

See below.

I see no reason to openly ridicule or discredit someone merely because
you disagree with his views.

I didn't. Are you being intentionally disingenuous? I stated that he
isn't entitled to be called "Doctor", and cited why. Where did I even
mention his views?

But that's me.

From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_fallwell

Prior to the founding of his church Falwell attended Lynchburg College
in Lynchburg, Virginia, but failed out in his sophomore year. He then
transferred to and graduated from Baptist Bible College (Springfield,
Missouri) in 1956 with a Bachelor of Theology.[1] (Baptist Bible
College became regionally accredited in 2001.[1])

Though he holds no earned doctorate and contrary to established
academic protocol, Falwell uses the title of doctor from an honorary
Doctor of Divinity from Tennessee Temple Theological Seminary (now
known as Tennessee Baptist Seminary), an honorary Doctor of Letters
from California Graduate School of Theology (an unaccredited
institution[2]),

Even if your claim above that the CGST is now accredited is correct,
his Doctorate is honorary; one does not normally expect to be
addressed as "Doctor" in polite society on such a basis, outside of
fundamentalist circles, anyway.

and an honorary Doctor of Laws from Central
University (Seoul) in Seoul, Korea (an unaccredited
institution[2]).[1]

I also wouldn't use Wik as "an authority" on much.

There are several entries-- such as the one for singer Jennifer Warnes
-- that I have read that were incorrect or incomplete.

Which parts of the entry on Falwell cited above are incomplete or
incorrect?

2nd. You are going on about Jerry Falwell (his proper name), and I
must attempt to stop you and ask...

"Who cares?"

You, obviously, or you wouldn't have opened your piehole in the first
place.

I note your willingness both to judge and to speak for others.

Your continuance of the thread speaks volumes that my judgment about
you was right on the money.
