I'm imagining God is real and Falwell gets to the pearly gates for the Big Interview... "Tell me, Jerry ... Why did you tell all those people that I told you they should send you money? And you spent it how???
Why is it that when a man that others hate who claims to be religious dies then all of a sudden they believe he must be in hell? If there is no God then he is just like you and me, no? He is no better or no worse. There is no right and there is no wrong in absolute terms so why do you sit in judgment over him? What makes you better or worse than he? Or if God is this mysterious stream of consciousness in which we are all apart then we are all cut from the same cloth so to speak, no?
In terms of following him, I never really listened to the man, however, it seems to me that showing a little respect is in order even if you never listened to him or if you never liked him. That is if you have any love for your common man, even if you may not "like" him.

So is this justification for taking a dump on his grave or are you merely trying to show cause and effect?
But I also think people are justified in rejoicing that he is no longer in a position of power and influence. I do not think that a person who took a dump on his grave would be in the wrong; he took plenty of dumps on the living.

I remember reading all those posts by atheists lambasting christians for their narrow minded, bigoted, racist, capital punishment supporting agenda, and now what do I see? 🙄
