Holy Crap

Jerry Falwell dead at 73.

If you know me at all, you know how I feel about this man and his words and his work. But that doesn't matter for the moment. A man is dead. May he find whatever rest he sought.

Mr. Falwell, at this point you will find out if you were right. For your sake, good luck.

You're more generous than I am, Tom.

I've never understood why death should make someone worthy of more respect than they deserved when they were alive, and Jerry Falwell deserved none of my respect. He was a judgmental asshole; now he's a dead judgmental asshole. At least he can do no further harm.

And no, I don't believe he's going to get what he deserves now, because I don't believe in any sort of life after death.

Some might make the argument that simply ceasing to exist is exactly what Falwell deserves, because hey, won't HE be surprised?

Less generous sorts, and I count myself among them, might suggest that it's more than he deserves.

No, he will not be surprised because he will not be... Period.
