The first casualty when war comes is truth..
Hiram Johnson, 1917
The books that the world calls immoral are the books
that show the world it's own shame.
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
Restriction of free thought and free speech is the
most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one
un-American act that could most easily defeat us.
Justice William O. Douglas
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep
repeating it people will eventually come
to believe it."
-- Joseph Goebbels
"Every good Christian ought to kick [Jerry] Falwell
right in the ass." ---Barry Goldwater
9-11God continues to lift the curtain and allow the
enemies of America to give us probably what we
deserve.
Rev. Jerry Falwell, blaming civil libertarians,
feminists, homosexuals, and abortion rights
supporters for the terrorist attacks of Tuesday,
September 11, 2001, to which Rev. Pat Robertson
agreed, quoted from John F. Harris, "God Gave U.S.
'What We Deserve,' Falwell Says," The Washington
Post (September 14, 2001)
And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But,
throwing God out successfully with the help of the
federal court system, throwing God out of the public
square, out of the schools. The abortionists have
got to bear some burden for this because God will
not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million
little innocent babies, we make God mad. 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."
Rev. Jerry Falwell
The ACLU's got to take a lot of blame for this.
-- Rev. Jerry Falwell, blaming civil libertarians
for the terrorist attacks of Tuesday, September 11,
2001, to which Rev. Pat Robertson again agreed,
quoted from AANEWS #958 by American Atheists
(September 14, 2001)
I sincerely believe that the collective efforts of
many secularists during the past generation,
resulting in the expulsion from our schools and
from the public square, has left us vulnerable.
-- Rev. Jerry Falwell, after the 700 Club broadcast
wherein he had blamed civil libertarians, feminists,
homosexuals, and abortion rights supporters for the
terrorist attacks of Tuesday, September 11, 2001,
speaking to The New York Times, quoted from Dick
Meyer, "Holy Smoke," CBS News (September 15, 2001)
Alcoholism and Negroes
"There are almost as many alcoholics as there
are negroes."
Rev. Jerry Falwell
America's Condition
"I do not believe the Republicans or the Democrats
have the solution to America's moral and spiritual
dilemma. Only a pervasive and national spiritual
awakening can prevent us entering the
post-Christian era as we go simultaneously into
the 21st century. I believe America is in
imminent peril. We are rotting from within.
Rev. Jerry Falwell
"Rebuilding America's Walls," 7/6/97
Brainwashing
"Somewhere in the past generation,
we've lost our biblical mind and not arranged
something better in its place.
We need a spiritual brainwashing,"
Jerry Falwell
Church and State
"The idea of separation of Church and State
was invented by the Devil to keep Christians
from running their own country."
Rev. Jerry Falwell
Jerry would know.....
Feminist (You know..Our mothers & sisters)
"I listen to feminists and all these radical
gals - most of them are failures. They've blown it.
Some of them have been married, but they married
some Casper Milquetoast who asked permission
to go to the bathroom. These women just need a man
in the house. That's all they need. Most of the
feminists need a man to tell them what time of day
it is and to lead them home. And they blew it
and they're mad at all men. Feminists hate men.
They're sexist. They hate men - that's their
problem"
Rev. Jerry Falwell
Homosexual
I do not believe the homosexual community deserves
minority status. One's misbehavior does not qualify
him or her for minority status. Blacks, Hispanics,
women, etc., are God-ordained minorities who do indeed
deserve minority status.
Rev. Jerry Falwell, USA Today Chat, quoted from The
Religious Freedom Coalition, "The Two faces of
Jerry Falwell"
How The Christian Right Can Help
" Our crowd needs to get into the battle,
keep their mouths shut and help this man win"
Rev. Jerry Falwell
Human Failure
If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure
as a human being.
Rev. Jerry Falwell
Jews
"I know a few of you here today don't like Jews.
And I know why. He can make more money accidentally
than you can on purpose.
Rev. Jerry Falwell
The Jews are returning to their land of unbelief.
They are spiritually blind and desperately in need of
their Messiah and Savior.
Jerry Falwell, Listen, America!
Martin Luther King
"I do question the sincerity and non-violent
intentions of some civil rights leaders such as
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mr. James Farmer, and
others, who are known to have left-wing associations.
Rev. Jerry Falwell
Marriage
Grown men should not be having sex with prostitutes unless
they are married to them.
Jerry Falwell, on CNN's Crossfire, May 17, 1997
Mohammed the Terrorist
"I think Mohammed was a terrorist.
I read enough of the history of his life.
He was a violent man, a man of war.
Jesus set the example for love, as did Moses.
And I think Mohammed set an opposite example."
Rev. Jerry Falwell
Our Destruction
"We are on the brink of our destruction, and if we do
not awaken now, it will be too late. We have been victimized
by traitorous behavior on the part of our leaders."
Rev. Jerry Falwell
(The interesting part here is that Mr. Falwell's hatred for
Democrats is well known. This quote came at the end of
12 years of republican rule. George Bush Sr. was president
at the time.)
Politics and Religion
The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented
by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own
country.
Rev. Jerry Falwell, Sermon, July 4, 1976
Public Schools
I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of
our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches
will have taken them over again and Christians will be
running them. What a happy day that will be!
Rev. Jerry Falwell, America Can Be Saved,
1979 pp. 52-53, from Albert J.
Menendez and Edd Doerr, The Great Quotations on
Religious Freedom
Supreme Court
"Modern U.S. Supreme Courts have raped the Constitution and
raped the Christian faith and raped the churches by
misinterpreting what the founders had in mind in
the First Amendment of the Constitution... [W]e must fight
against those radical minorities who are trying to remove
God from our textbooks, Christ from our nation. We must
never allow our children to forget that this is a Christian
nation. We must take back what is rightfully ours."
Jerry Falwell, March 1993 sermon
Tubbies
"He is purple - the gay-pride colour; and his antenna
is shaped like a triangle - the gay-pride symbol."
Rev. Jerry Falwell
"As a Christian I feel that role modelling the gay lifestyle
is damaging to the moral lives of children."
Rev. Jerry Falwell
