Falwell and Bin Laden

In case you forgot what Jerry Falwell said just after September Eleventh here it is once again:

Falwell appeared on the Christian Broadcast Network's "700 Club," hosted by Robertson. "God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve," Falwell said. What beneficent, loving God does this? With such friends as Falwell and Robertson speaking on his behalf, God can look back nostalgically on his encounters with the devil.

Falwell then revealed his peculiar faith in diversity, for he left few off his enemies list. "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 make 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, People for the American Way - all of them who have tried to secularize America - I point the finger in their faces and say, 'You helped this happen.' "
