posting on there seems a bit more philosophical (for lack of a better word).
Last Sunday, Christmas Day, as I was getting ready to start running to re-celebrate with my extended family, and to make our stops to both sides of our extended families, I turned on my boob tube and completely forgot it was time for Falwell's Old Time Gospel Hour. I thought to myself that I'd listen to his Christmas Sermon. Surely this man will not bring politics into his sermon today of all days.
I suppose I'm still naive because he had not been on a minute before he made a statement that continued on the Right's supposed war against Liberals regarding having Christ in Christmas.
FALWELL: That is why it is so important that we do not let the A.C.L.U., N.O.W. (whom Falwell calls the National Organization of Witches), Liberals that are against our president, and other secular groups take our Christ out of Christmas. I still say if you cannot say Merry Christmas then we, as Christians, will do our shopping, and spend our money somewhere else.
Then I say Bah-Bye Falwell because when have you had to shop at Wal-Mart? When have you had to do any shopping for yourself. You live better then your so-called parisioners, so you cannot fathom what some of them might be going through. It's your way and that is it. As Falwell continued with his blurbs, insults, ignorant remarks, I just walked over to the TV and cut it off. I was not going to listen to this man continue to use his bully pulpit for his own private agenda on Christmas Day.
This man is not a minister. Falwell is a . . .
(R) epublican first and foremost, but tries to preach around his Politics, who is unbelievably as
(A) rrogant as Bush and continues to use his bully pulpit for his own
(P) olitical propaganda. He continues to
(I) sult anyone who does not believe as he does with hate-filled name calling, and his
(S) ermons every Sunday are more political then Biblical as he continues to
(T) est the IRS on his Tax-Free status. He eggs them on every week. It's like a child's game.
Yeah, to me Falwell is a R.A.P.I.S.T. of the worst kind. He is a R.A.P.I.S.T. of the minds of those that follow him and his way of thinking. They follow him blindly and without question. His followers, the so-called Evangelical Christians, and/or Baptist, have lost their way so much that his group is starting to act like a cult of some kind. They act as if they worship Falwell.
(The true Evangelicals and Baptists would never follow this man's every word like those closest to him. So I'm not talking about the Christian Evangelicals, Baptists, etc. There is a difference between those that claim to be Christians and those that really are, so you that are, please take no offense as I am not speaking of or referring to you).
