I must say I agree with him about any nutjob being able to get far too much exposure if they’re affiliated with a religion. It’s that whole thing where one person believing something is a delusion and many is a religion.

We should only speak good of the dead. Falwell is dead. Good! (With a nod to Bette Davis.)

Way to go Chris!

Shame of it is, that most of conservative America will look upon him as evil – ironically because they are still under the spell of the great Xenu… or was that Fallwell? I forget.

particularly liked the bit about Falwell being found on the floor rather than rapturously ascending…

hurhurhur

now, if only a few more assorted supernaturalist fanatics would follow Falwell’s example…

I may not agree with EVERYTHING Hitchens says, but in the case of religion and the religious I think he’s abso-bloody-lutely spot on.
