133. It's extremely difficult to find a kind word to say about Jerry Falwell
The man was one of the least Christian people on earth. Falwell used his pulpit to preach against those who disagreed with him, both personally and professionally. To Reverend Falwell, God was a weapon to be wielded in the name of politics. He certainly didn't mete out compassion, understanding, love and forgiveness towards those who chose what he considered to be the wrong path.

Falwell was certainly ruthless. When his fellow televangelist Jim Bakker was indicted on fraud, tax evasion and racketeering charges back in 1987, the good reverend and Pat Robertson stepped in and looted the Heritage USA assets. What a guy. :sarcasm:

He'll certainly answer for those he wronged to a higher authority now.
