And now for an ignorant and scary quote...Jerry Falwell on the World Trade Center
attacks:
"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 made 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 and People for the American Way..all of them who tried to
secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say "you helped this
happen".
