Feb. 27, 2005 "[homosexuals are] brute beasts...part of a vile and satanic system [that] will be utterly annihilated, and there will be a celebration in heaven." Jerry Falwell: Quoted in Jim Hill & Rand Cheadle, "The Bible Tells Me So", Anchor Books (1996), Pages 69-70. Homophobia is a new term for an old practice. My guess is that homosexuality has been around since the birth of humankind. The fear of homosexuality or homosexuals can be simplified into understandable down-to-earth terms, the fear of gays and lesbians. My guess is homophobia has around before Anglos decided to hate (fear) Blacks, a problem still in existence in the home of the free. Jerry Falwell, the epitome of Christian goodness, calls them “brutes…vile and satanic.” Will he next don a white sheet with a hood? Or will he be content to let them reap their punishment in some mythical hell that reviles gays and lesbians? If Jerry Falwell ever stood in a foxhole and had a gay man save his ass, would he continue to revile him for being gay? I can find nothing in his biography, which shows that the mighty minister ever picked up a rifle to protect his country…you know the one that protects his right to talk about homosexual beasts. In fact, when Vietnam was still going strong and civil rights were being fought for by black ministers, Jerry turned on his fellow-ministers. He reviled black ministers for fighting for civil rights, telling them that ministers should not be politically active. In 2001 he told the press that terrorist attacks in the United States could be blamed on pagans, abortionists, feminists, gays, lesbians, the American Civil Liberties Union and People For The American Way, saying "I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'" He later amended his statements, saying that secularization had "created an environment which possibly has caused God to lift the veil of protection which has allowed no one to attack America on our soil since 1812." (Answers.Com… [Jerry Falwell])
God lifted the veil of protection because of
secularization. Mr. Falwell seems to change his
mind when the court of public opinion is down
his throat. He is a man with many tongues. He
speaks in tongues and none of them seem to spit
out the truth, none of them seem to offer
solutions. His solution is to wear his white-
hooded uniform and wield his God’s words at
random, offering himself as the Chosen Lamb for
the Moral Majority. It is men like Falwell, who
leave a bad taste in the mouths of Gentiles.
The taste of hypocrisy.
