Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

Mr. Falwell is a fanatic. All faiths, ideologies and philosphies seem to attract some form of extremist and Christianity must perforce admit to mr Falwell as one of it's extremists.
I am a Christian and I found his statements to be offensive. I do not believe God is a vengeful deity looking to smite us all for wrongdoings. Christ taught that if we repent our sins and truly work for a relationship with God through him, we will be saved. He did not guarantee all who followed him a happy, carefree life and freedom from hardship. We must go through the trials and tribulations of existence like anyone else. We exist in an imperfect world with many who do not know right from wrong and do not care if they do. Somewhere on this planet are people for whom all life is not sacred nor important and for whom mass murder and terror is acceptable. We suffered our losses and deal with devesation because of the HUMAN frailties and mistakes of our attackers. Not because God chose to lift a protective hand away from us.

Cloudy - what a lovely way to put it!
Who knows, maybe God did allow this tragic event to occur as a "wake up" call or something. We certainly have become fairly "lazy" toward him lately as a society in whole. btw - anyone know when the new Left Behind book will be out? ------------------ "Allright! We'll call it a draw."

Just so you all know, yes, I think Falwell is a fanatic of sorts but if he is a true Christian, bear in mind that he has our best interests at heart.
I am not a Falwell follower, hell I don't even go to church, but I am a christian and I do stand behind believing that if we are going to live in peace, we must live by the rules God set before us. Exerts from a poem I got in an e-mail earlier...to put his point of view into a milder perspective....the last verse in particular says it all..(for believers anyway ) GOD is in control. "Peace, be still, My child," He said "And hear now what I say For I have seen and heard the cries Of those who, to Me, pray. "Keep your eyes upon ME now Not what you hear or see And, as you do, you'll keep My peace - IF your mind stays on ME!" "It matters not what one man says Or even many more For I am God, and I decide Each day what lies in store." "I've told you there would be such times When, of these things, You'd hear I told you so you'd be PREPARED And FULL OF PEACE, not fear." "For all these things MUST be fulfilled Yet MY WORD fails not For I AM still your Hiding Place As all the fires rage hot." "You're hid beneath MY shadow now And you can rest in Me Yes you can trust My Words of LOVE To last eternally." "For I'm your Father, Counselor, Friend Your Alpha and your End And if this was the world's last day Be sure, for you, I'd send." "I've promised I'd save you a place If you would stay in Me Stay pure and faithful, eyes on Me And, victory, you'll see." "I can't tell you if it's 'the end' - NO human man can know But I CAN tell you, it IS close, So be prepared to go." "Each day I give you, reach in love To save another soul For snatching them from Me for Hell Is truly Satan's goal." "Occupy until I come Live each day FULL in ME Just keep your eyes upon MY face And know that I DO see." "I see the world, I see YOUR LIFE And I DO care for YOU And know, no matter WHAT occurs My love for you stands TRUE." "I'm Alpha and Omega - God - I'm King and Lord of ALL I'll be right near to care for you As, on My name, you call." "For I can change the hearts of Kings And I, their hearts, do try And I'M the one who formed this world And says when it shall die." "So, USE this time to SEEK THE LOST And tell them of My Love That they, too, may be saved and live With Me,up above." "Don't listen to fear's voice - hear MINE! Then STAND on what you've heard Don't fear yours or the world's fate - It's destined by MY WORD." "Keep your eyes on me dear ones And let Me wipe each tear For I am God and IN CONTROL - So live in peace, not fear." ------------------ You know childhood is over when a puddle seems like an obstacle instead of an opportunity.

What Jerry Falwell is saying is very regressive,in fact its the sought of thing that most christian groups would have said about 400-600 years ago.
because of the fact that christanity can be twisted to fit any set of morals or ethics he can justify petty bigotry through it. He's probably just in religion to make money though, a lot of people are. |
