Words of love from the Religious Right, Part 2

The second in a continuing but only occasional look at the words of the religious right. Today’s guest, the Reverend Jerry Falwell, who gives us wisdom with his gift of love.

"If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being."

"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."

Back to a flat earth that the universe revolves around.


Of course, Jerry has been known to have been caught, exposed by his hate. But it doesn’t matter, He just lies about it.

"I think Mohammed was a terrorist. He - I read enough of the history of his life written by both Muslims and " and - non-Muslims, that he was a - a violent man, a man of war. And I do believe that - Jesus set the example for love, as did Moses. And I think that Mohammed set an opposite example."
--Jerry Falwell, 60 Minutes, October 6, 2002

"I have never said in a sermon or a speech that Muhammad is a terrorist."
--Jerry Falwell, interview with Religion News Service

And then we have this;

"The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country."

Well, at least we know who Satan is. He is Thomas Jefferson, who had this to say on the subject.

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man & his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state.

Of course, what would he know about the blending of governance and religion.
