"Jesus was not a pacifist. He was not a sissy" --Jerry Falwell "I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'"--Jerry Falwell after the September 11, 2001 attacks |
