The passing of Jerry Falwell...

Jerry Falwell was one of the pioneers in building right-wing "Christian" hate-mongering into a really profitable multi-million dollar business. I for one will not be shedding any tears for this bigot.

I've always been amazed at how preachers like Falwell could reconcile their racist and homophobic views with the teachings of Jesus Christ.

It would be difficult at this time to estimate the damage he did to our American society. His legacy of hate has been a cancer on our society.
