Lots of bloggers are saying all sorts of nasty things about him but I’m not going to do that. Instead, I’ll let his own words speak for themselves:

• “AIDS is not just God’s punishment for homosexuals; it is God’s punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.”
• “It appears that America’s anti-Biblical feminist movement is at last dying, thank God, and is possibly being replaced by a Christ-centered men’s movement which may become the foundation for a desperately needed national spiritual awakening.”
• “If you’re not a born-again Christian, you’re a failure as a human being.”
• After the September 11 attacks Falwell said, “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 happen.’”
• “Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questions.”
• ”[Homosexuals are] brute beasts…part of a vile and satanic system [that] will be utterly annihilated, and there will be a celebration in heaven.”
• “I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won’t have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!”
• “The idea that religion and politics don’t mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country.”
• “The Bible is the inerrant … word of the living God. It is absolutely infallible,without error in all matters pertaining to faith and practice, as well as in areas such as geography, science, history, etc.”
• “We’re fighting against humanism, we’re fighting against liberalism … we are fighting against all the systems of Satan that are destroying our nation today … our battle is with Satan himself.”
• “The ACLU is to Christians what the American Nazi party is to Jews.”
• “Textbooks are Soviet propaganda.”
• “The whole (global warming) thing is created to destroy America’s free enterprise system and our economic stability.”

• “I am such a strong admirer and supporter of George W. Bush that if he suggested eliminating the income tax or doubling it, I would vote yes on first blush.”

  Update: I just noticed this great game (“Hitler or Falwell?”) over at BoingBoing where you read a quote and guess who said it. Beautiful!
