There are a lot of extremists on this board topic. 
Taking joy in another mans death is just pitiful, even if you dont agree with his beliefs or the harsh things he preached about have some decency!
Be better than this people.

this happens all the time - a hateful person dies and some people think it's disrespectful to talk ill of the dead.  I think it's okay to trash falwell in his death if it is exactly what you would say when he was alive.  i don't think we should rewrite history once that person has died.  call him out for who he was and what he stood for, because he made his true feelings abundantly clear when he was alive.
falwell was a hateful and self-righteous bigot. he was not a man of god.

2. Why am I suddenly going to see something wrong with the God I believe in stating what is and isn't a minority... I assume you are trying to say that I'll be the minority one day??

The only thing that makes a minority a minority, in my eyes, is the fact that there are racial discrepancies.? And it's all relative.? Blacks are a minority in America, but not in Nigeria, for example.? I don't think God "ordained" that, so much as it's a fact of how the world currently works.

I worded my response to that wrong... What I think he's saying there is that (and you don't need to believe this) God created Whites, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Women etc.... If you read and believe the bible he didn't create homosexuals, because as the bible states, homosexuality is a Sin. Again whether or not you want to believe that is up to you, but he is not too far off track from just about every Christian group (with the exception of the American Anglican (Episcopalian) Church).

You don't need to give his group money, or send your children to his university... But you should atleast respect the fact that this guy was carried out of his office 8 hours ago. Anna Nichol Smith got more symapthy.

Anna Nicole was pathetic and tragic, but she wasn't a bigot (as far as we knew).  she was a mess, but a genuinely likeable mess at that who didn't go out of her way to condemn others as immoral sinners responsible for 9/11.  If falwell isn't getting sympathy, it means he was unsympathetic.
