Before somebody goes and bursts a blood vessel here, I have wondered about that my own self. What DID Jerry Falwell say that hasn't been being discussed right here on Free Republic BEFORE 9/11? If you are honest with yourself, sudden fear, (and we all felt it,) can bring to the surface exactly what your innermost fear truly is. If you are a devout person, you have broached the outtermost ripples of these kinds of thoughts long previous to the horror that befell this country in September. While true that none of us would ever WISH for such a thing, it did happen. And we are left wondering how, searching for reason where there is none.
Jerry Falwell is a human being. I don't think he intentionally meant to offend anyone. What HE said wasn't half by half nearly as bad as the Beserkley *peace* declaration.

And we are left wondering how, searching for reason where there is none.

And so of course the natural reponse is to blame these horrible acts on God?

To say that God is punishing innocent children for the wickedness of others?

That's a mighty peculiar vision of God you have.

If he held to the truth I don't think he'd CARE who was offended.
