Crisis of Succession

[tealin]

So, Jerry Falwell is dead. Who will step up to replace him as the laughable yet infuriating spokesman of radical right-wing Evangelical Christianity? How will we know which children's television characters are gay? I feel so lost!

Yeah, what he said.

Who said I was condemning him to hell? Who are you exactly to pass judgement on a total stranger over the internet? All I meant was that people will speak out against him as he has spoken out against them.

Free speech, I see, is less important than letting someone with a Cult of Personality take precedence over the thousands of people who die far worse deaths every day.

I have said nothing directly against him and you have attacked both me and my mode of thinking based on an icon I used on someone's journal. A picture. On the internet.

If this isn't the lowest form of pathetic argumentation, I don't know what is. Go start a flamewar thread on Fark if you're this hard up for a good fight.

Oh, and your little remark about how Wodehouse ought to teach us honor and decency?

You apparently have never read Wodehouse--those books are nothing but pure farce and bad behavior. Throwing dinner rolls at the ceiling fan and knocking off policemen's helmets don't exactly constitute an excellent set of manners.

As far as I know, Pol Pot never claimed to be speaking on behalf of a religion purportedly centred on love and peace. As for the rest, ditto SmokingGun ... I am not attacking him personally nor condemning him to the nethermost fires of Hades, merely mocking his preoccupation with unleashing vitriol over trivialities while, to the public eye at least, overlooking the Big Picture of what being Christian is about and giving us all a bad reputation.

And, because the coward who is inept at arguing likes to take refuge in tiny inconsequential details, he did accuse Spongebob Squarepants and his starfish friend of homosexuality as well. I don't recall if he ever mentioned Bugs Bunny's recurring transvestite seduction of Elmer Fudd, though. Seems a rather conspicuous oversight.

Love the art, not the artist.
