Death of Jerry Falwell

When I first heard yesterday that Jerry Falwell had finally died after blessing us with his presence for 73 years, I was a bit shocked.

Here was a man who was anti-Semitic and against all non-Christian beings that I was always surprised when past presidents and the current one actually had photos taken with him, praised his messages, his morality and what he has contributed to society. They were buying into it for the votes and support-blecch. Falwell could bring in lots of votes by preaching from his bully-pulpit about one candidate's 'virtues' over another.

As the line goes, "If Jesus came back and saw what was being done in his name, he'd never stop throwing up." He probably has very little enamel left on his teeth these days.

To me, Falwell was a self-righteous, ignorant windbag.

Falwell died from a heart attack-when I heard that I stopped for a moment. How could someone so obviously devoid of heart actually die from a heart attack?
