What I regret is feeling that this “man of Gawd” was so hate-filled, hateful, smug, partisan and it evokes my feeling of good riddance kracker.

There are hordes of specimens just like him waiting to step up and step on whoever they can. Falwell has at least 50 years of false witness to answer for – good luck with that Rev!

Maybe we’re a step closer to healing this country. Yes, a human died (one among many today), and that’s sad, but a powerful voice of bigotry and intolerance is also silenced, and that’s good.

Jesus Christ in a rare interview stated “I turned the other cheek for the last time on a man who purported to serve me while violating everything I every taught. My second commandment was “To love thy neighbor as thyself” which Falwell twisted into a message of hate and intolerance. You should have seen his (Falwell’s) face when he saw where he was spending Eternity.”</p> Reverend Jerry Falwell was found struck down by God in his office today.

If you want to restrain your joy in the name of religion or some exemplary ‘kindness’, or just fear of hell, be my guest.

For me, flowers and fresh air for all!
