Quote:That's generalizing quite a bit. Radical Muslims and Communists may describe people with philosophical or religious views. Child molesters imply something more hands on. So of the three child molesters seem most likely to draw the least sympathy from me. But it’s a case by case thing.

For the record I have my own personal philosophy that's not NT. Insofar as Falwell preached hate I thought he poisoned humanity. And while I don't and didn't hate him personally I'm relieved he's no longer spreading his message. If he had simply stopped preaching rather than dying that would have worked for me as well.

Here's, I think, a rather venomous-and accurate-take on the terrible loss of the good reverend:

How long will it be I wonder (if it has'nt already happened, that is) before his death is claimed as an asasination "perped" by Mosad or some other Jewish backed "satanic" conspiricy.
I cant wait.
I might even start the rumour myself to see how many dimwits pick up on it.
I could write a book to see how many dimwits buy it and make a shit load of money.
Hmmmm....

So you did not have a problem with the messenger, just the message. You think the message will change now that he's gone?
