“I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say ‘you helped this [911 terrorist attacks] happen.’” - Jerry Falwell, September 14, 2001
I remember thinking that day that he was so full of hatred, the same kind of religious bigoted, overboard god righteous hatred as the Muslim terrorists that attacked America that day. He made a public apology, but one can never retract such hate-studded statements. Unlike Jerry Falwell, the words he spoke that day will live on, and they will define him forever. I am sorry for him and for all who live this one great opportunity and die having never truly experienced love and respect for themselves or others because they spent their lives worshipping, fearing and defending a treacherous “god.”
