Big Jerry Takes the Dirt Nap
The country has been abuzz about Jerry Falwell's timely demise. Doesn't matter where you fall on the political or religious spectrum, everyone seems to have some thought on the matter. I've heard everything from "I hope he's getting bitch-slapped at the pearly gates", to "hope they ream his ass with his own personal coat hanger" to "At least he was sincere in his beliefs" to "We should never speak ill of the dead".
I have to defer to my fellow blogger over at Nine Pearls. She let Jerry speak for himself. Check it out. A compendium of Jerry's own words to the not-so-wise. Really, I think this says more about him than any of us could say.
May he be judged according to his good works.

heh, yeah, I said something similar. "May he have gone to the Eternal Reward he has earned in the eyes of his Maker," something.
My standard line on Jerry was and continues to be: I'm not happy he's dead, but I'm not the least bit sad. Unfortunately, his legacy continues. If his mega-church and institute of higher brainwashing had crumbled to the ground right along with him, there'd be good enough reason to celebrate. As it is, the world now has one more dead fat guy.
Big Jerry takes the Dirt Nap. Now that funny. May be someone from the middle will take his place.
Nice post, and great link to the words of the Scrofulous Toad himself.
I met the man one time, and I had to bite my tongue from saying, "Oh, so you're the Chief Godbag." Never underestimate anyone who really believes what he claims; he has no limits.
Let's just say he's where he yearned to be: With his Maker. In Fallwell's world, his death is a happy event.
