        Re: Jerry Falwell —Daniel Jassim
     Jerry Falwell is one of the biggest loads on two feet, I'm not surprised by anything that ignoramous says. He's no moral or spiritual leader, just another slimeball misrepresenting Christianity. Dan (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Jerry Falwell —Dave Schuler
      (...) Whoa! Dan and I are in complete agreement on something! Falwell and his fellow reactionary Robertson are both well-established loonies. Dave! (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Jerry Falwell —Richard Marchetti
      (...) How can something with so many sects be misrepresented? I mean, in fairness, aren't Jerry and his followers allowed to espouse whatever interpretation of quasi-fundamentalist Xtianity they wish? -- Hop-Frog (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
     
          Re: Jerry Falwell —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) They can espouse it, but can they call it Christianity if it doesn't seem to fit? It doesn't fit what I understand Christianity to be... I mean, isn't that kind of the same as the Red Army selling stock in their phone company and calling it (...) (23 years ago, 15-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

        Another Measured Response (was re: Jerry Falwell blames feminists, gays, lesbians, ACLU, others...) —Richard Marchetti
     OMG, what an a*****e!!! Great, just what we need -- another religious zealot! No Jerry, I place the blame at the doorstep of anyone who tries to create difference, and promote intolerance and xenophobia. Such people need to be helped with education, (...)

        Jerry Falwell has more in common with the Taliban than you think —Erik Olson
     In fact, the bombing is all about our commitment to secular values. It is our secular values--love of pleasure, self-reliance, reason, material wealth, technology, freedom, capitalism--that mark the fundamental difference in philosophy between our (...)

        Ann Coultier (was: Re: Jerry Falwell blames feminists, gays, lesbians, ACLU, others...) —Lindsay Frederick Braun
     (...) Yeah, I saw this on Portal of Evil yesterday. But along with that was similarly scary hatemongering from Ann Coultier (go figure): (URL) If this doesn't make you shiver at what some of our own countrymen would have us become, nothing will. (...)

         Re: Ann Coultier (was: Re: Jerry Falwell blames feminists, gays, lesbians, ACLU, others...) —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) What is Portal of Evil?? (...) Whoa. How can someone be so absolutely 100% correct about something: "Barbara risked having her neck slit to warn the country of a terrorist attack. She was a patriot to the very end." and so absolutely 100% (...) (23 years ago, 15-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Ann Coultier (was: Re: Jerry Falwell blames feminists, gays, lesbians, ACLU, others...) —Lindsay Frederick Braun
     (...) It's a site with forums, that brings up the worst and most twisted of the web for public flogging. Some of the flogging is itself twisted, some of it really indignant, but in general it's just wacky and twisted. They especially pick on Furries (...)

     (...) Not sure I agree. That may be a bit of a broad brush, there are some foamers there, yes, but I did spend a little time reading a number of other columnists that I felt had merit. the guy saying what a swell guy Guliani has been in this has a (...)

     (...) I was a lot of places (Detroit, Toledo, Ft. Wayne, Indy) on Tuesday and I saw gas prices all over the map. But I never saw 5.64. I DID see a lot of stations in the same place with wildly different prices. I shopped on price. But if I had to I (...) (23 years ago, 15-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Jerry Falwell blames feminists, gays, lesbians, ACLU, others... —Horst Lehner
   Hello Asher, hello everybody, (...) I can see that even in the US, the term Christianity is not a registered trademark, so you can't sue him for tradmark infringement. But ... maybe you have too free a country if you can't put him to court for other (...) (23 years ago, 19-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
