"Radical segregationist cleric Jerry Falwell today announced a sacroturf operation against global warming effortss by Christians, denouncing such efforts and their major prominent Al Gore as fulfilling the work of Satan."

"Southern Christianity is often quite conservative in tone,  but difference in degree must be noted between conservative Christianity and the revanchist sacroturf of radical cleric Jerry Falwell."

"Reasonable minds may differ as to whether which radical cleric - Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson - is more offensive to the sensibilities of moderate, educated Christians outside the most rural and least educated segments of U.S. society."

Under no circumstances adorn him with the title Reverend; a man who denounces good science and meritorious public citizens as the work of Satan is a fucking threat to our livelihood and is not to be revered (reverendus.  We need not honor him the way we would honor decent, moderate and non-batshit conservative Christian leaders.  Let his congregation stroke his ego, we need not.

If this be shrill and rude, rude and shrill it be.

Falwell and his type are the ones that worry about the little things that shouldn't affect them -- what difference does it make to the state of their own soul if same-gender couples get married? -- but ignore the major issues such as poverty and environmental ruin, to their (and our) eternal peril...

This personal power preaching in the name of an almighty, unscientific force has persisted for thousands of years unchallenged by so many!  For the life of me, I can't figure out why, but just as importantly since it is not provable what these guys say, why don't they get challenged by talkers to other gods that say they are wrong. For the weak minded, this might place them in a very uncomfortable catch 22 position because you never really know who is talking to the true almighty now do you?????

What his latest outburst proves beyond any further doubt: Falwell serves, not any god, not any "faith", but those who bankroll him. Period. His followers, and the followers of the many wealthy charlatans like him, are notable for their propensity to rage. So how come they're so meek when their heroes show beyond any doubt that they're playing those followers for fools?
