"It has now been six weeks since Saddam Hussein was killed by a pack of wild boars, and the world is still glad to be rid of him..."
Wait, wait. Wrong inhuman asshole.
Still glad Falwell is dead.

Re: A reply to nemesis's "caveat"
And of course here's an example of what Falwell's teachings lead to:
From ABC News:
quote:
Even in death, the Rev. Jerry Falwell rouses the most volatile of emotions.
A small group of protesters gathered near the funeral services to criticize the man who mobilized Christian evangelicals and made them a major force in American politics -- often by playing on social prejudices.
A group of students from Falwell's Liberty University staged a counterprotest.
And Campbell County authorities arrested a Liberty University student for having several homemade bombs in his car.
The student, 19-year-old Mark D. Uhl of Amissville, Va., reportedly told authorities that he was making the bombs to stop protesters from disrupting the funeral service. The devices were made of a combination of gasoline and detergent, a law enforcement official told ABC News' Pierre Thomas. They were "slow burn," according to the official, and would not have been very destructive.
"There were indications that there were others involved in the manufacturing of these devices and we are still investigating these individuals with the assistance of ATF [Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms], Virginia State Police and FBI. At this time it is not believed that these devices were going to be used to interrupt the funeral services at Liberty University," the Campbell County Sheriff's Office said in a release.
Three other suspects are being sought, one of whom is a soldier from Fort Benning, Ga., and another is a high school student. No information was available on the third suspect.
Authorities were alerted to the potential bomb plot after relative of Uhl called to say that he had homemade bombs in his possession. Officials searched Uhl's car where they found five incendiary devices in the trunk.
Uhl is currently being held under no bond at the Campbell County Adult Detention Center.
That's right, radically fundamentalist Christianity is just like radically fundamentalist Islam! Who would've guessed?
THIS is why I'm glad Falwell is dead. He inspired this level of hate and intolerance, so much so that even after his death some student at his school planned to blow up people who didn't like Falwell at the funeral.
If Liberty University was Islamic instead of Christian, we'd call it a Madrassa.

Re: Rahvin's Uncredible Exaggeration
Rahvin, this just shows how uncredible and nonsensical some of your stuff is.
One sicko nutcase student out of an enrollment of over 12,000 is found to have some kind of bombs in his car and you take that rare incident and attempt to make a case that Christianity "is just like radically fundamentalist Islam," a religion which has an estimated thousands of terrorists ever waiting in line for their turn to kill as many ordinary citizens as possible by blowing themselves and their victims to pieces as well as injuring other thousands often with the blessings of their influential clerical and political leaders.
Falwell had a role in inspiring all these 12,000 studens as well as scores of thousands of graduates. If Falwell's variety of inspiration "inspired this level of hate and intolerance," how then, can just one out of scores of thousands of good citizens be "inspired" towards "this level of hate and intolerance" by Jerry Falwell? Perhaps a demonic entity inspired this one sicko. No?
You're making quite a fool out of yourself here, aren't you, Rahvin?
Nice strawman. I didn;t say Christianity. I said radically fundamentalist Christianity. Much like ALL Muslims are not out to blow us up, neither are all Christians nutbars. But radical fundamentalist Christianity is prone to violence, just like radically fundamentalist Islam.
Radically fundamentalist Christianity is the hatemongering stuff that caused all of the Christian atrocities of the past. Radically fundamentalist Christianity is what drives all of the BAD part of Christianity today. This is entirely different from the normal Christians who don't think homosexuality brings natural disasters. Exactly like radical fundamentalist Muslims like to blow up infidels, and normal Muslims tend to value life much like normal Christians. The fact that it appears that there are far more radical fundamentalist Muslims than radical fundamentalist Christians is irrelevant and a red herring.
And demonic entities, Buz? And you call ME a fool?
