Tall Skinny Kiwi says that Falwell will be remembered for “TV ministry, money issues (did he really receive 3.5 million from the Moonies), fundamentalism, politics, Moral Majority, Religious Right, Liberty University, welcoming Catholics, lawsuits with Penthouse and Hustler, overplaying his cards at 911, strong views against homosexuality and abortion . . and tele-tubbies.” He also has some interesting insights into Falwell’s legacy in the post.
Get Religion blog also has a post on Falwell that is a good read.

Agree with him or not, there was never any question as to where he stood! I’d take that over the “well, I don’t know if an athiest is going to hell” preachers ANY day.

To me, Falwell looks like the purple teletubby. Yeah, I think that’s what I’ll remember him for. ;)

he’s the perfect example of Jesus telling the disciples that the world will hate us b/c of Him. yeah, he can make the best of us cringe, but he was right in what he said. we for sure know where he is today.
