Is your hatred so great that you place Jerry Falwell and Osama bin Laden in the same camp? If so, you are beyond reason, and beyond sanity.

Love and peace.

I didnt say a word in my post about Falwell, although he is a pompous fool. I criticised him last week for his foolish comments which Bush told him were wrong and inappropriate.

Those who preach hate against other religions and other denominations hardly have any reason to question someone's sanity unless they are un-christian. Turn the other cheek...

Dave didn't put them in same camp, just pointed out that they're both seriously misguided. Personally I find Falwell much scarier, because I expect Americans to be reasonably educated and well beyond that sort of foolishness. Christianity and Islam are both belief systems people can use to make themselves feel better, or to control others. There's no evidence to suggest that either have any connection to reality, but both can be forces for good or evil. I would lump Bin Ladin and Falwell in the same camp as far as using religion for evil. It is interesting to see that Falwell believes the foolishness he spews rather than just being another con man taking advantage of superstitious people. A con man would never said something so insane and out of line as his comment that the gays, liberals, and ACLU are the reason for the attack. He's clearly a true believer.
