Keywords For Jerry Falwell: Bigotry, Hypocrisy, Intolorance
BACKGROUND:
Falwell,
a fundamentalist religious leader who combines his religious activities
with the promotion of a variety of right-wing political causes, is best
known as the founder of "The Moral Majority". This "Man of God" fought
vehemently against the Equal Rights Amendment and rock and roll music.
Jerry once said, "The liberal churches are not only the enemy of God but
the enemy of the nation." Now, by "liberal" churches, I believe he means
that they allow both "Negroes " and women. Truly the work of the devil.
In addition, Numb-nut
Falwell appeared on an infomercial for a videocassette bible-study course
sold by his ministry, in which he asserted that it was possible that human
beings and dinosaurs once coexisted. Wow!
MESSAGE:
This man is insane with hatred and greed. He preaches intolarance
and uses religion as a front for his political and business agenda.
AMMO
(Hypocrisy, Bigotry)
FACT:
Rev. Falwell told Beliefnet.com last week that "the Moslem faith teaches
hate," and therefore should not receive any federal funding under Bush's
new faith-based initiative. He went on to say that "any group that is anti-Semitic,
racist, or in any way bigoted should be disqualified". I recall one of
Jerry's love-filled quotes from the past, "When [the antichrist] appears
during the Tribulation period he will be a full-grown counterfeit of Christ.
Of course he'll be Jewish."
(Bigotry, Homophobia,
Intolerance, Hypocrisy)
FACT:
Ever the good shepherd, Jerry Falwell just could not resist the opportunity
to use the September 11 tragedy for his own twisted ends. People were still
reeling from the shock of it all when Falwell appeared on Pat Robertson's
TV show The 700 Club and went off on a tirade against all things liberal.
According to Falwell, the disaster occurred because God was displeased
with feminists, gays, lesbians, abortionists, pagans, the U.S. courts,
the ACLU and the People for the American Way. "I point the finger in their
face and say, you helped this happen," he announced. For Falwell to even
think of making such comments in the first place is sickening; to make
them on behalf of a religion which is supposed to promote forgiveness,
tolerance and compassion is despicable.
