Falwell, a little late

[thedarkages]

I don't feel the sense of satisfaction at Jerry Falwell's death as others in the blogosphere have. What matters to me is not that he is dead, but that his ideals and principles are alive and in good hands, working the utmost harm. Until the day when Falwell's moral peers are pushed back into the crevices of this world, I cannot truly rejoice.

I was just saying to occhiblusf today: the problem isn't Jerry Falwell, it's a society that took his ideas seriously, instead of lumping him in with Alex Chiu and Wesley Willis.

Alex Chiu and Wesley Willis never got plenty of airtime on Pat Robertson's CBN.

Right. I'm saying that's a problem. They all should have gotten equal airtime.

Actually, I don't believe that. Wesley Willis was a great artist and satirist, deserving of as much airtime as possible. The other two are paranoid nutbars.

I picture him sitting on a golden Barcalounger, strategically positioned in the part of Heaven that overlooks Hell - the one in the Parable of Lazarus and Dives - endlessly pointing at the damned whithing in flames and laughing hysterically, all while mindlessly stuffing himself with zero-calorie manna.

...Come to think of it, the afterlife may be more like NASCAR than I'd realized. Perhaps the rednecks are on to something.
