Jerry Falwell dead at 73
Jerry Falwell was found unresponsive in his office at Liberty University this morning. He was taken to the hospital, and passed away around 12:30 ish.
http://www.wset.com/news/stories/0507/423247.html. This is the local TV station...they haven't fully updated their story yet...they just keep adding paragraphs to the top. A press conference is being pulled together right now.
This is especially sad because Liberty University's commencement is this weekend.

Whoops! Crimson and I were posting at the same time!
Can we merge the two threads somehow?

I think I might leave town this weekend with the thousands of people who will probably show up this weekend to remember Falwell.
Maybe we can finally have our city back from the Moral Majority...

Very sad. I never did like the man and I despise most of his politics, however, I think his heart was in the right place. He did build Liberty into a powerful institution in a very short period of time.

I'm with you there! Normally Liberty's graduation puts a lot of this town into traffic gridlock, but this weekend will be even worse I think. Good thing they moved Thomas Road Baptist Church nearer to campus...keeps the traffic a little more in one location. Newt Gingrich is scheduled to speak at commencement.
I'm just going to hide out at home.

Guess I better go to Target this afternoon before Wards Road becomes gridlocked.
I'm not a fan of the man AT ALL. He was notorious as a poor tipper (and big eater) when I was a waitress, and the way he brainwashes people irks me to no end. A large number of people who go to his school seem to worship him more than God. I don't think Jerry Jr. has the charisma that his dad had, and Jonathan doesn't have the smarts. Hopefully Liberty will go back to being a tiny Bible college. It'd sure make living here a lot better!

i can't say i'm saddened by his passing because of the nature of his views and what he's said in the past, but i guess he stood by his convictions and there's something to be said for that. regardless, i hope he's at peace now.

Was I the only one shocked to see how much weight he gained???
I'm betting Jim Bakker isn't crying over this one.

Are they still a majority now that there's one less of them?
May his hell be an eternity spent at a Scissors Sisters' backstage aftershow party...

I always liked the bumper sticker:
"The Moral Majority Is Neither."
That being said, he did stick to his beliefs -- although they were a little too stringent for me.
May he rest in peace.

I'm curious as to what the fellow personally did to you that compelled you to judge him worthy of hell.
