Jerry Falwell dead

He used slush funds from the Unification Church to turn Liberty University into a potent force for the evangelical Christians.

He blamed 9/11 on gays, feminists, abortionists, and non-Christians.

He even denounced the Teletubbies because Tinky Winky was "gay."

He's Jerry Falwell, who died today aged 73.

Although he's gone, his brand of hateful Christianity will endure. For example, his Moonie backers in my area are still blabbering his line about 9/11 being the result of the secularization of America. And that will be something I will never forgive.

Now, I need to hear about Sun Myung Moon's passing. He's well into his 80s.
