Oh please. So all this be kind to the religious stuff now extends to Falwell? Falwell was a hateful reactionary creep. He helped elect Reagan. He called Mohammed a terrorist and blamed my kind of people for 9/11. ("I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'") Fuck him.
