Huh. Didn't think that was going to happen, anytime soon.

Jerry Falwell Dies, Age 73.

I wonder how long it will take for people to start seriously talking about Satan having done this, or claiming it as a sign of the Apocalypse.

Hm

technically the doings of satan are signs of the apocalypse... but you already knew that.

So, since the beginning of life in the universe, then? That's a damned long apocalypse.

good things are worth waiting for... or something about how it takes a long time to get things right....

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Either one of those works.

So... uh... I'm probably a terrible person for this...
But this is all I have to say about it:


HAH!

If you weren't at least a little terrible, you couldn't stand being around me ;)

[hametsunosaturn.livejournal.com]

Heh heh, I suppose that's true enough. ^_^

But you know, with all his gay-bashing and other such terribleness, I feel my hah is warrented, even at his death.

At least I don't stand around his funeral picketting and saying he's going to hell, like some people do.

Mahatma Gandhi said it best, “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

If only he got to say it to all the crazed evangelicals.

I wish. Doubt anyone would have actually Listened, though.

The VA hospital's flags were both at half-mast yesterday.

I'm of two thought about this:
First, the possibility that the majority of the people served by the hospital in question respected the Good Work done by the senior Reverend Falwell (and make no mistake about it, there was Good Work done, even though there were also Closed Minds... unlike many others of his ilk, he was never a hypocrite). They should be given the chance to show their respect in a fitting manner.
Second, I'm not sure that's the appropriate method for such, although according to http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/faqs/q09.htm , if the president instructed such, it's right. Pushing the edges of "government official", though, since he was technically an advisor and not holding an office.

Anyone looking for signs of the end of times is wasting their time... The Bible (huh... does that need underlining or italicizing?) made it pretty clear that "none will know the hour" and all that.

Brief hope that there would be news of a drug overdose, but that would probably never make it to public ears.

And now I'm imagining the latest issue of the Globe: "DOCTORS FIND: SATAN RESPONSIBLE FOR 66.6% OF HEART ARRHYTHMIA CASES!1!!eleven!"

Sacre Bleu, I got my televangelists mixed up! I was thinking of Graham for both the "advisor" thing and the "good works" thing. Falwell was a terrible person and a false prophet. Now I definitely want the drug thing to be true. Or maybe liver failure from his fifth breakfast scotch.

Falwell was a terrible person with an Ironic name, and if any drugs were to be found in his system, we'd never know; we don't have the kind of journalists we should, for these things.

And of course Satan is to blame, for 66.6% of Everything. Didn't you know?
