Reply #26: That's fine

I wouldn't expect it. People reap what they sow. But I think the hatred was sown in American soil way before Falwell came along; he just used it to grow his own profitable little crop of fundies. Maybe Falwell was a legacy too. I've got no problem w/people expressing their opinion about Falwell; IMO he was a bigoted, intolerant demagogue. But the level of vitriol in general gets a little disturbing sometimes & it makes me wonder - when does "righteous anger" become "destructive anger"? Where is the line between the two? The fundies think that they have righteous anger, as they do the most destructive things. We can have righteous anger over the horrible things that an enemy has done, but can that anger become destructive? I don't think the line is clear at all; and I just want to post in order to pose that broader question.
