I heard that on the radio today and just started laughing

Extreme religious right, southern baptist tv evangelist...in the past has stated that he is against abortion, homosexuality, civil rights movement, lack of prayer in school, etc etc

Re: Falwell's dead, Hallelujah!
 

Minus the civic rights movement, I don't see how that's EXTREME religious right.

I never knew much about him, meh. RIP I suppose

"AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals”
“The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country”
"If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being”
“The ACLU is to Christians what the American Nazi party is to Jews”
“Homosexuality is Satan's diabolical attack upon the family that will not only have a corrupting influence upon our next generation, but it will also bring down the wrath of God upon America.”
“(re: 9/11 attacks) "...throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools, the abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked and when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad...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 try to secularize America...I point the thing in their face and say you helped this happen."”

He was very much so against the civil rights movement as it was going on. He referred to it as the civil wrongs movement. However, I did not mean to imply that being against civil rights is a value of conservatives

Seems a bit extreme and uncompassionate, but I agree with his base ideas.


Oh a lighter note, my teacher still never raised my grade to the appropriate A- from the B+ because she feels I offended students and was out of line when I said "...homosexuals deserve to die of AIDS...". I was religously persecuted for my faith because I apparently gay bash.

LOL, I would've been kicked out of school for saying that. My next school, they'd applaud me :1
