Jesus Politics: Jerry Falwell: Vote for the Bush of your Choice: "As for his critics, Falwell said his vision for ministry, which is shaped by his relationship with God, allows him to focus on the goals set before him. Addressing his critics, he was unbowed.

'We're here to stay, we're going to bring this nation back and we couldn't care less what you think about it,' Falwell said to his opponents."

Two brilliant examples of what my last post was about. Falwell thinks that all Jesus cares about is abortion and gay people. Poverty? Well, not so much. And this great wisdom? It comes from his "personal relationship" with God. In that relationship, God whispers sweet-nothings into ole Jerr's ear, you see, and tells him that gay people are bad, and that God is pro-war and pro-Bush. Amazing thing, that ability to self-deceive.
