He was a man who lived by his belief in GOD. Darkness never likes the light. The World has never liked the healing of salt or the persons that were using the salt [truth]. I belived he’ll be remembered for loving his Lord and loving the people of the world but hating their sins.

Let’s see: a pompous windbag with delusions of grandeur. Only because his creditors were browbeaten into forgiving the loans or taking them as tax write-offs saved him from croaking tens of millions in debt. And, Liberty isn’t anywhere near the status of Notre Dame or BYU.

His legacy will be the same as that of the 9/11 hijackers who lived THEIR deeply held beliefs: misery, violence, and hatred.

Good riddance to a hate-filled narrow-minded homophobe. The world is a better place without people like him in it.

He was a freak. No better than the Ayatollahs spewing their tunnel vision. Good riddance. Now let’s just rid of Ralph Reed, another fanatical idiot. Matter of fact, send the entire Moral Majority to the Middle East to live with the rest of the fanatics.

Falwell deserves the vicious comments. He dedicated his life to turning our government into a freakish version of the Taliban. His legacy rests in the same place as any of those theocratic nuts…as a good example of those you should keep far away from any semblance of power.

This man was a pompous, hate-filled, self-appointed blowhard. Sorry for the family, but he’s no loss

Who here thinks he’s in heaven? Anyone? Anyone? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Everyone is right, he’s no better than the terrorists.
Bill, you sound like one of the ignorant masses (of sheep).
