5. They were just on Anderson Cooper's 360
Sharpton drove his point home again and admonished Falwell for selectively using the bible.

But the best segment was Cooper quizzing Falwell on JF's stance on gay families. Having read here at DU that Cooper is gay, it was an interesting segment. I thought Cooper did a good job. If anything else, he was gutsy and sharp to jump on Falwell's faulty thinking. Falwell did not wear his usual smugness. I have to agree with Mike Malloy when he asseted that JF looks unhealthy and must know he's in physical decline.

6. debate
They seem to be a favorite talkshow pairing lately, and clearly Sharpton knows his Bible and his Constitution better than Falwell.

2. that man has nothing to do with God or Christianity
he is not a case for being an agnostic. He's a hate monger, pure and simple. Christianity is simply the vehicle he's chosen to advance his prejudices.

3. You must understand that most of the JJ's are now right of him.
Fakewell is losing his faithful to even stranger creeds.

Check out:

And their beliefs in prophet of their church. They can manipulate anything with the prophets.

11. They're one of those creepy Dominionist theo-con cults.
Edited on Mon Nov-29-04 09:57 PM by Gay Green
"We believe in the present-day ministries of the apostles and prophets which.... will be restored to function in full power and authority before the literal second coming of Christ."

Simply go to http://www.antipasministries.com and search their site for "Dominionism" or "Apostles and Prohpets" or both. You'll get a harshly critical review of these groups from a Born Again Christian / socialist perspective.

And look on this page: http://www.christianinternational.org/articles/TRADITIONALFAMILIES.html

They hate us queers so much, it's disgusting! x(

9. Falwell is a business man
And so is Robertson. It's a shame people fall for these 2 con men, but they do. They both, remind me of 2 pimps. They literally pimp Jesus for cash. It's sick. "If you love Jesus...send cash!"

I don't know, everything I learned about Jesus, made me believe he was a Liberal. Loving, accepting, not hateful and unforgiving.

Ironically Falwell & Robertson hate gays and women as much as the Taliban. Go figure.

12. the reverend masturbator
re: during ron reagan's talk show back in the 80's, falwell was among the 3 guests and somehow the question of masturbation came up and after they all amitted to sinning ron asked falwell directly: "Reverend, do you jerk off?" or something to that affect....Jerry hemmed/hawed and tried avoiding answering but Ron asked again until finally falwell admitted he did indeed masturabate sometimes (i think james caan was other guest and said 'well now we see you're not a liar")
hahaha...

17. ron's show only lasted for a year or so
but it was great...reagan's dad was president and you'd think his show woulda been biggest thing but, as ron was a liberal dem....i'm sure tapes of the show are somewhere.....ask around (there are people who tape everything!)

14. i just want to know why?
how could so many believe his form of christianity? im not even christian, im a jew, and i even know the basic teachings of christ. if anything falwell should be a Jew for Jesus because he cares more about some the old testament than Jesus' teachings. in fact im still baffled how anyone can equate Christ's message with the GOP. its the exact opposite. its like im the only to escape the chains in the cave and see that the images had been just shadows from the fire. (Plato reference). why do so few see the obvious? false prophets they are. I think God is disgusted by those who distort his words for self-gain more than any other sinners with the exception of murder or rape.

18. i don't know why jerry pushes the gop
some of the true believers think that a little sin/big sin are same....separation from god etc....and if a sinner guilty for a little sin, then maybe if he commit big big sin (help bush say) maybe he forced finally to repent etc....iow falwell is trying to save himself by doing evil things ....otoh maybe jerry's just a self centred old fool who uses christ's name to get lotsa toys and luxury to enjoy(?)

candidate, at least Jerry and his entire ilk?
