"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you." (Matthew 5:38-42, NIV)


Nothing says "Liberty" and follows the teachings of Jesus quite like a student at Jerry Falwell's school Liberty University plotting to set off bombs at his funeral to ensure protesters don't disrupt Falwell's funeral.

Now, I'm no proponent of disrupting someone's funeral (looking in your direction, group that shows up at military funerals to protest that their deaths are punishment from God for living in and fighting for a country that "tolerates homosexuals"), even though my distaste for Falwell was earlier documented in this very space.

But this is right up there on the hypocrisy scale with people bombing abortion clinics and killing abortion doctors to show how "precious life is." We don't want protesters disrupting the funeral, so what better way to keep it peaceful and civil than to FUCKING BOMB THEM. Nice work, kid. Jesus loves you.


On second thought, this is the funeral of a guy who once said, "Thank God for these gay demonstrators. If I didn't have them, I'd have to invent them. They give me all the publicity I need."

Great model for strong moral convictions, there.
