Serious thoughts on Falwell’s death…

Big news: an overweight 73 year old man has died of heart failure.

What’s the surprise? Where’s the reason to either celebrate or mourn, if you didn’t know the man personally? Looks like nature taking its course to me. I wish people would stop gloating.

His ideals and methods will live on, of course. Focus on that if you want his death to spur you to some kind of emotional reaction, and then take action upon it.

If you believe his death means something or led to a post-mortem punishment for his life and actions, I would suggest that you’re pretty much right in line with a lot of how Falwell himself operated.
