Jerry Falwell

I did wonder about blogging on this, as he was such a controversial figure. Suffice to say that I just about always found him an irritating embarrasment. Some Christians, like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, C. S. Lewis, and Mother Teresa make you feel proud to be part of the same faith and even somewaht wistful in the fact that you feel that you lack their decency and commitment. Others, like Falwell, can make you feel ashamed and embarrased. His initial comments over 9/11 were not only disgusting, they were stupid and showed the vicious cruelty and the lack of love that he had for those he disagreed with and it's funny, but for someone who hated liberals, gays etc.. and claiming to speak Biblical truths you would have thought that at the least the bit about "Loving Your Enemies..." would be something he would notice a bit more, given it's prominent mention.But whilst I wouldn't want to see him rot in Hell, I hope that in his dying moments he saw himself for what he was and accepted God's forgiveness. Something which we all need
