No. The Hell thread is in Daily Grind ... where I'm presuming the "she" being discussed can't post.

A link would have been nice, but please stand by while I go searching for the offending posts by "her."

Because, by his own belief system, if it turns out he was wrong, then he is most definitely in hell now. If he was right then most of the rest of us are already in hell.

By I don't so much dislike the man for the "occasional stupid thing that man said" as his power waned over the last 20 years but rather for the movement he started 40 years ago. The politicization of the evangelical community is, in my opinion, the worst thing to happen the United States since the end of Jim Crow. And he was a primary promoter of that.

Whether he thought the anti-Christ a Jew is just trivia (and, if you buy into the mythology of the Bible then it strikes me as a perfectly tenable belief).

I really appreciate the way you address things. Thanks

Please move them to the Hell thread .... and, hey, how did you do that???

See you in hell, Jerry Falwell

There are certain people who really are better off dead - for the good of the rest of us.

He is one of the few people in contemporary society that I can truly say I have felt hate for. I don't hate him any less now that he is dead, I'm just glad he is not longer able to spew any more of his BS from his pulpit.

Damn straight- and I determine I am happier in a world without that pompous, self-righteous prick in it.

" Ya know what's funny- if a liberal died- whose politics and ideals I loathed- I would not do what I have seen here and other places. I wonder what would happen if I did- how much shyt I would get for it. If I ever do, feel free to call me on my double standard- but I find todays displays disgusting. __________________"

Whatever. Not buying into this one today. I'm simply too happy to. (WB even has thrown in some nastiness for me)

There is self admitted hate here on LoT- let's not pretend otherwise.

I find it distasteful. I can appreciate putting his words and actions into perspective like Kevy did, I can appreciate the rational comments from Alex.

I frankly don't give a shyt about the fact that WB feels some need to personally denigrate me, I can at least respect Lisa for her honesty even if I don't agree.

But for my personal taste I have found the response- here and other places, to only add to the negatve rather than find anything that lifts people up.

There's an "anti-memorial" planned for next Tuesday in the Castro.

Though a step removed, I do find that just as tasteless as Phelps funerals for gay people.

There is a distinction between acknowledging that the world has one less bad person in it and having a party to celebrate the death of a hated one (which, even if they don't use the word "party" or "celebrate" is what it is).

I'll freely admit to hating the man, and have no qualms or feeling of hypocrisy. It may be the same word, but there's a world of difference in my eyes between the hatefulness I accuse him of (namely encouraging people to hate wide swaths of people based on prejudgment) vs. the hate I've he's engendered from me (hating an individual for the actions for which that individual is responsible).

Homonyms are tricky things.

I agree with you there, Alex.

Just in case there's any confusion, I moved the related items out of the Soooo thread and into this more appropriate forum and thread, as things were getting heated.

But, seriously, where are the homonyms here?
