I believe you just described Wolfgang.

Maby we originate the roff Fallwell Award.
Nominations?

Who preaches religion on roff?

You!

Op

Really? I've mentioned God and salvation and Jesus Christ, or Buddha,
or Veejay, Mohammed, and preached it? Did I ever tell ya about the
Shinto shrines in Japan? Absolutely beautiful....

Must be getting reeeeal old, 'cause I don't remember that.

I may have mentioned God, but I haven't preached it.

On the other hand, you've preached stupidity on more than one
occasion.

d;o)

Hook, line, and sinker Dave. You are sooooo predictable!

Op --it won't be long now--

And you are sooooo predictably stupid. You give red necks a bad name.

.. . . and probably many more who are avoiding this thread topic. It's
one of those "no good can come from this" moments.

IMHO, religion is neither all good nor all bad, snip

I hear ya. (I started several times to write a more philosophical
reply; but it keeps getting way too involved for anything I care to
post here and now.)

Good move. Amen, Brother Joe!

It's probably best to just let the Reverend Falwell speak for himself.
(All citations are available at wikiquote.org and elsewhere.)

"AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's
punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals."

"The abortionists have got to bear some burden for [the attacks of Sept.
11] 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 have tried to
secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say, 'You
helped this happen.'"

"If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being."

"Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questions."

"I listen to feminists and all these radical gals -- most of them are
failures. They've blown it. Some of them have been married, but they
married some Casper Milquetoast who asked permission to go to the
bathroom. These women just need a man in the house. That's all they
need. Most of the feminists need a man to tell them what time of day it
is and to lead them home. And they blew it and they're mad at all men.
Feminists hate men. They're sexist. They hate men -- that's their problem."

"When you have a godly husband, a godly wife, children who respect their
parents and who are loved by their parents, who provide for those
children their physical and spiritual and material needs, lovingly, you
have the ideal unit."

"The ACLU is to Christians what the American Nazi party is to Jews."

"I am saying pornography hurts anyone who reads it -- garbage in,
garbage out."

"I am such a strong admirer and supporter of George W. Bush that if he
suggested eliminating the income tax or doubling it, I would vote yes on
first blush."

"I believe that global warming is a myth. And so, therefore, I have no
conscience problems at all and I'm going to buy a Suburban next time."

"It is God's planet -- and he's taking care of it. And I don't believe
that anything we do will raise or lower the temperature one point."

"I truly cannot imagine men with men, women with women, doing what they
were not physically created to do, without abnormal stress and misbehavior."

"It appears that America's anti-Biblical feminist movement is at last
dying, thank God, and is possibly being replaced by a Christ-centered
men's movement which may become the foundation for a desperately needed
national spiritual awakening."

"There's been a concerted effort to steal Christmas."

"I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country,
we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over
again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!"

"The First Amendment is not without limits."

"Someone must not be afraid to say, 'moral perversion is wrong.' If we
do not act now, homosexuals will 'own' America! If you and I do not
speak up now, this homosexual steamroller will literally crush all
decent men, women, and children who get in its way ... and our nation
will pay a terrible price!"

"If he's going to be the counterfeit of Christ, [the Antichrist] has to
be Jewish. The only thing we know is he must be male and Jewish."

"The argument that making contraceptives available to young people would
prevent teen pregnancies is ridiculous. That's like offering a cookbook
as a cure to people who are trying to lose weight."

"The whole global warming thing is created to destroy America's free
enterprise system and our economic stability."

"You'll be riding along in an automobile. You'll be the driver perhaps.
You're a Christian. There'll be several people in the automobile with
you, maybe someone who is not a Christian. When the trumpet sounds you
and the other born-again believers in that automobile will be instantly
caught away -- you will disappear, leaving behind only your clothes and
physical things that cannot inherit eternal life. That unsaved person or
persons in the automobile will suddenly be startled to find the car
suddenly somewhere crashes. ... Other cars on the highway driven by
believers will suddenly be out of control and stark pandemonium will
occur on ... every highway in the world where Christians are caught away
from the drivers wheel." (from Falwell's pamphlet "Nuclear War and the
Second Coming of Christ")

"God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to
give us probably what we deserve."

"You know when I see somebody burning the flag, I'm a Baptist preacher
I'm not a Mennonite, I feel it's my obligation to whip him. In the name
of the Lord, of course. I feel it's my obligation to whip him, and if I
can't do it then I look up some of my athletes to help me. But, as long
as at 72 I can handle most of the jobs I do it myself, and I don't think
it's un-spiritual. When I, when I, when I hear somebody talking about
our military and ridiculing and saying terrible things about our
President, I'm thinking you know just a little bit of that and I believe
the Lord would forgive me if I popped him."

"The Bible is the inerrant ... word of the living God. It is absolutely
infallible, without error in all matters pertaining to faith and
practice, as well as in areas such as geography, science, history,
etcetera."

"The National Organization for Women (NOW) is the National Organization
of Witches."

"God doesn't listen to Jews."

"Tinky Winky is gay."

Falwell was as intolerant as they come, but I'll be damned if I'll dance
on his grave. I'll just leave that to Forty and the Grave Dancers.

Russell

Any knowledgeable person knows that elephants are allergic to strawberries,
so that can't be the answer.

Op

So they can hide in cherry trees.

Ever seen an elephant in a cherry tree? No? See how well it works?

As for tolerance and the lack thereof, it's not a bad thing nor an
indication of a lack of character to be intolerant of intolerance.

It's not your intolerance of intolerance I am speaking of. You're
intolerant of anyone who thinks differently than you politically and
spiritually. If they don't think like Ken thinks, they are fools,
hateful, intolerant, etc.

Some people are hateful, intolerant fools, that's true, but I would
never believe that of them merely because they disagree with my personal
views on politics or spirituality. When I express disgust at someone's
hateful intolerance it's because they posted something here that was
hateful and intolerant not because they disagree with me.
