I must be a heartless person

[falconcat]

I was watching the news and they said that Jerry Falwell had died this morning. I didn't feel any sadness at all. None of that, "Gee, I didn't like him but it's a shame he died." My first thought was, "Good. Now God can judge him just like Falwell judged people in his life."

I must be a truely heartless person.

Jerry Falwell died? Your post was the first I heard of it, and I must admit, my reaction was much like yours. Can you imagine how shocked he'll be to see all the gays in heaven?

I don't think we have to worry about him going to his heaven.

Nah. Falwell seemed commited to teaching people it was ok to hate, so long as they hated the right people. There was nothing Christian about the man and I think he did more bad than good. It's hard to feel badly about his passing in the face of that.

You're fine. It was he who was heartless. He helped mess up the world, big time. All I can say is that I am sorry for his relatives.

"''Good. Now God can judge him just like Falwell judged people in his life.''

Watching TV on that aweful day, when the 2nd plane hit, the thought that came to mind was, "Chickens coming home to roost".
Heartless?

There's a world of difference between cynicism and skepticism.
And there's another huge difference: most of the time the cynics are whole-hearted and commited, but often those who are intelligently skeptical are half-hearted and self-deprecating.

Don't be a schmuck; you're better than that.
Claim the balance ... it's yours to discard.

By "that aweful day" ...

... I didn't mean the day of Falwell's death, of course, I meant 9/11.
