Talk:Jerry Falwell
This page needs improvement to do justice to Rev. Falwell.
I rolled back the liberal gossip about Falwell and Rev. Moon. It's nothing more than a smear effort of the sort we don't allow under our rules. Falwell is not an adherent of Rev. Moon's church and Falwell is entitled to do business just like everyone else. The smear was unsupported by a credible resource.
Be fair to Christians and everyone else here.--Aschlafly 22:16, 8 April 2007 (EDT)
- My addition to this article is based on fact, not opinion. Critics do indeed attack Falwell's connection the Unification Church. This is not an attack or "smear" on Christians in general but a verifiable fact about the controversy surrounding a public figure. Opposing viewpoints supported by citations are welcome, but this is tantamount to censorhip. Rotten has an admitted liberal bias but all their info in this instance is credible and independently verifiable.

I'm going to edit this article over the next couple days. Falwell has been a tremendous educator, and his efforts deserve more than this. Stay tuned! --Thammersmith 21:12, 10 April 2007 (EDT)
- I'm not sure why my changes were reverted. Jerry Falwell has ties to Republican causes and the Moral Majority is a part of the Religious Right, not the Religious right. For instance the Christian Coalition is part of the Religious Right as well. Learn together 01:58, 9 May 2007 (EDT)
(Belated question) How is it a "smear" to link Falwell and Moon? Has Rev. Moon done something wrong? (Apart from not accepting Young Earth creationism, I mean ;-) --Ed Poor 16:30, 15 May 2007 (EDT)
Just passed away
CCN just reported his death today.--TimS 13:39, 15 May 2007 (EDT)
Someone commented out his support for apartheid. Not sure why as it's factual and documented. I removed the comment block around it...apologies for the double edit.
- Jerry Falwell was frequently misquoted and misinterpreted by anti-Christian enemies. Don't expect any unsourced, biased and misleading information, motivated by anti-Christian animus, to be allowed here.--Aschlafly 16:20, 15 May 2007 (EDT)
South Africa and apartheid
Time magazine, Monday, Sep. 02, 1985:
- Falwell opposes apartheid, but professed faith that Botha will dismantle the system eventually, if only everyone is patient. [1]
I stand corrected. I'll update changes to reflect this. Stompum
