Are you implying that Falwell didn't have a heart? Just wondering....there's been lots of controversy about Falwell's life "contributions" to society on the college debate listserv.
That wasn't really what I was implying per se...More of a--was his heart in the right place? what do you think?
Definitely...that's what a lot of the discussion surrounding him has been since his death. I totally get your point. It's sad, isn't it, that a few men can get together and decide to co-opt Christianity in order to fulfill their personal agendas.
I, for one, was frustrated by Falwell because he seemed to care less about what Jesus would DO and more about what he could "make" Jesus do for HIM by shifting around Biblical references in order to support his agendas. I definitely don't think Jesus would advocate a homophobic, pro-rich, pro-war stance.
Ok, a bit long, so I'm out.
Thanks for bringing up this topic!
