Jerry Falwell is DEAD

[Lee]

I'm always sad to hear when anybody dies. I don't jump up and down for joy to hear that Falwell has passed. I'm sure somebody loved him very much. I can't even say he was a vile man, because I didn't know him personally. I didn't agree with any of his politics or especially his views on gays and lesbians, but in the end, I try not to judge those who judge me. Still, I can't say that I'm particularly heartbroken over the news of his passing.

Agreed Ken.

Lowering ourselves to his level does nothing positive for the gay community as a whole, i guess hate really does breed hate

Im waiting to see all the 'gays celebrating his death' on the news, its only a matter of time im sure...

Regards,

Lee

let us shut the country down for the next week while we give him a national day of mourning....

oh my god! Please! time to turn your gay cards in guys or are you gay republicans...!

well I'll be the one to say I'm not exactly glad he's dead... I'm just glad that we won't have to listen to him again.

Jerry Falwell was evil to the core, and happily so.

Not that it makes a difference... there's a million demons waiting to fill his hooves.

No one said anything about giving him a national day of mourning. But one of the traits of TRUE Christianity (something Falwell himself seemed to not understand) was simply having compassion for your fellow human beings. Far too many of us are filled with hate, and to me, that's nothing but negative energy. People who hold on to negative energy and who celebrate the death of another human being, no matter how non-compassionate that person was toward them... well, it says something about their character. I don't hold grudges. At least Falwell lived by his own principals, and fought for them. That's something to be respected in and of itself.

ACTION ALERT SF BAY AREA:

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Inc. will hold a rally at 5:15 on 5/15. Back in the 1980's Falwell's fundraising TV shows ran video loops of SF Gay Pride in the background as he pleaded for donations. The video was a 10 second clip of one of the Sisters in the parade waving a black dildo. Apparently, that video clip was his strongest fundraising tool, as he ran it over and over for hours every Sunday.

This just in from the Sister email list:
There is another large group rallying at 5pm at 18th & Castro. I am still intending to bring an installation to the site. This installation and what we bring will allow us to accomplish two things:

1) To let go of our collective & individual pain and suffering that has been caused by the life and lies of this person.

2) To replace all that we have let go of with love, light, compassion, understanding, and the joy of who we are! This is the what we will manifest on the installation at 18th & Castro.

THEN at 8PM (after the sun goes down and some of us can go home to paint a face...or not)
Sister Kitty Catylyst OCP will provide the flames for Hell Dance at 18th & Castro.

(cuz if it's hell we're headed for, we'd better start laying claim to the dance parties)

This sounds cleansing actually. That's what I love about the Sisters. They are all about harmony with the collective "we." Falwell's soul will hopefully now be at rest -- or in the afterlife, hopefully he's learning the truth that many of us who are enlightened already know.

I'll remember that when I run into Hitler - now sit back and laugh - if you can
