Jerry Falwell is nothing if not controversial. This portal keeps track of the lively news, opinions, debates, discussions about or derived from Falwell and his preachings.
Falwell, a Virginia native and Baptist minister, fathered the "Moral Majority" movement that grew up in the 1980s. Falwell became a public figure through his TV show, the 700 club, with a style that gives us that old time Bible thumping.
Most known for for stances against drugs, promiscuity, Gay Rights and the like, Falwell has also supported the talk by founding organizations to help young pregnant women and men with drug and alcohol related problems.
Jerry Falwell has often been on the block for putting his foot in his mouth, and then trying to extract it. Most famous example, a speech in which he accused "the pagans and the abortionists and the feminists and the gays and the lesbians" for helping 9/11 happen. Then came out later the same day and apologized.
Though a health crisis in 2005 has slowed him down some, he's still on the news radar and this portal will pick it up when it happens.

The argument that making contraceptives available to young people would prevent
teen pregnancies is ridiculous. That's like offering a cookbook as a cure to people
who are trying to lose weight.
Rev. Jerry Falwell

We thought we weren't gonna have to listen to the paranoid, homophobic rantings of anyone named Jerry Falwell ever again. We were wrong.

Considered one of the biggest and at the very least, best recognized modern-day crusaders of free speech and First Amendment rights, Larry Flynt is a character beyond description as you'll see from this court deposition taken from Federal prison prior to his first trial versus Falwell where he was already serving a 6 month sentence for desecration of the flag (wearing a diaper made out of the American flag).

Bro. Falwell has gone on to reap his reward, but what about the U.S. government giving tax-exempt status to Falwell's Liberty University, an independent, fundamentalist Baptist school whose mission is to "train young Champions of Christ."
Or what about any school whose stated purpose is religion-based? Should they be granted tax-exempt status?

It was ten years ago that Rev. Jerry Falwell launched his personal fatwa against the evils of the Teletubbies, (especially that colourfully dressed Tinky Winky), who he suggested was a poor role model.The good Reverend (well not in everyone's opinion we guess) managed to make Teletubbie bashing a growth industry, until some of the fall out of some high profile scandals of televangelism took over the headlines, making many of his stands the...
