Rev. Jerry Falwell dead at 73

This is a weird one. I won't celebrate his death, but neither will I celebrate his life. The list of harmful things this man said in the last 40 years is really unbelievable. I hope that he did some good things in his church and local community.

Yes-this is a weird one. Unexpected, too. He has had a history of heart trouble since 05.

I blogged on this too, before I knew you had done a post.

I will say this; Falwell was a different man with the Thomas Road church family. He was gentle, compassionate, loving, and kind. But I don't think it makes up for his public image.
