Immoral Majority

I'm not one to wish ill on anyone, and particularly not death, if for no other reason than the family members. But I do have to admit, I think the world will be a much better place now that this screaming hairball of moral outrage, the grand inquisitor of the bully pulpit has shuffled off this mortal coil to be reunited with his 72 virgins, or whatever evangelicals believe, perhaps a vast expanse of doors to be knocked on to solicit money for his meg-church and modest Mercedes.

Funny, God tagged Larry Flynt to live longer, tells you something...don't it?

(LYNCHBURG, Virginia) - 73-year old Televangelist Rev. Jerry Falwell has died. He was found unconscious Tuesday, rushed to the hospital and was given CPR for about half an hour according to the AP.

The News & Advance of Lynchburg reports that the well known and controversial Falwell missed a meeting about noon. He was found in his office, unconscious and unresponsive. He was rushed to Lynchburg General Hospital around 12:00 PM ET.

Falwell has had heart problems in the past.

Falwell was one of the first people to create the multi-million dollar industry of "mega churches". He founded the Moral Majority and became the most well-known face of the "religious right" in the 1980s. He said he found Jesus in 1952, and politics in 1979. He is known as "the father of the political evangelical movement."

He was outspoken, mostly against women's reproductive rights and against homosexuality. His statement after 9/11 about the event being punishment for abortions and homosexuality brought on perhaps his most public apology.

He later founded the conservative Liberty University in Virginia, where he was today. He served as its president.
