I just heard Jerry Falwell died today. And the world is a slightly better place. Nasty thing to say, I know, but I can't bring myself to shed a tear for that bloated bigot. The man represented what I consider many of the worst aspects of religion. He was an intolerant, self-righteous, arrogant slime. Ever since I heard him speak back in the 80's, he's made me cringe.
There is an animation in an episode of Monty Python which features a wide-faced pastor, grinning ear-to-ear, spouting some crap about how much his church loves you, bla bla... Then the grin spreads around his head and the top lifts off to reveal a devil swimming around the goo inside. He then tries to nail the top of his head back into place. I always thought of Falwell whenever I saw this.
Well, sir, enjoy the hell that you were so eager to condemn others to.
