He Gave Religion A Bad Name

My well-mannered 89-year-old mother taught me not to speak ill of the dead, but even she was laughing when she heard that Jerry Falwell had died.

"I guess not too many people are going to miss him," she said.

Not being a Christian has its advantages, and one of them has been the ability to sit back and watch in disbelief as self-serving hypocrites befoul all that is decent and tender about the Christian religion.

Calumny? Rev. Jerry Falwell loved it.
