In Reply to: I see Falwell more as a SPIRIT killer ;) posted by kindagentler on January 27, 2004 at 07:09:24:
I think we can agree that Falwell often puts his foot in his mouth. We might even agree that he is greedy, but such activity is not a crime. Asserting that he is a "spirit killer" is simply your opinion, and it is an unprovable accusation.
Equating a controversial telle-evangelist with the leader of a terrorist organization is illogical. There is ample physical evidence of Bin Laden's crimes against humanity. Falwell, on the other hand, has committed no such crimes. Your accusation against him is simply unprovable rhetoric. But this is not the point I tried to make.
Ray asked a thoughtful and logical question when he wrote:
"would you say that the religions of mother theresa and ossama bin laden are equal then, if they both found comfort in them? aren't we forced by some harsh realities to accept or reject on some basis?"
Your reply, however, made no sense at all.
