Are you trying to argue that Jerry Fallwell Sr was not a piece of shit, or that he was a piece of shit, but that Jr is even worse?? If the latter, then you're just arguing semantics, so what's the point?
He sticks to religion instead of getting involved with other stuff. Really the only time you hear from him around here is if it’s something pertaining to what the church is doing and even then he mostly stays out of the spotlight.
The apple didn’t fall far from the tree. They are both absolute pieces of shit. Neither have any redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Then what the fuck was the point of all those posts about how wrong we all are, and how much better Sr was
what a weird decade the 2000's were when atheist intellectuals were elevated so highly Hitchens was at least interesting, Dawkins and Harris suckkkkeeed not to mention it birthed the awful philosobro mindset
I don't know much about Harris but Dawkins was pretty close to being as insufferable as hardcore evangelicals. Hitchens was funny and generally interesting as long as he wasn't talking about the Iraq war.
he is like the original Hot Take Guy but i can't say i really disagree with anything he said here at the very least his conclusion on putin seems to be correct
it's kind of funny because if you watch the Hitchens stuff on c-span from the 80s, he's much more thoughtful and subdued maybe it's just the way that tv had evolved from that time, maybe the constant tobacco use and alcoholism had ruined his brain
I think it was mainly that he jumped on that new atheism or whatever wave, wrote a book on the matter and unfortunately being hot take-y and flamboyant on TV was the best way to capitalize. That said I love the pure hate he had for goons like Falwell.
Harris is a sensitive reactionary type who hides it behind flowery rhetoric. think Hitchens like many of his generation had his brain broken by 9/11 and the cracks in the western superiority ideology that couldn't be ignored by the early 2000's/early 90's
his shift just doesn't make much sense considering what he was writing and saying in the 80s i think for him it may have been more personal. apparently his friend group was made up of "controversial" authors (salmon rushdie, among others) and i think just being a thoughtful guy wasn't enough for him. he liked being important at the correspondents' dinner afterparties. i believe he hosted a bunch for vanity fair at one point?
So he was having a Trailer Park Boys themed swingers party on his yacht. Doesn't seem very Christian...oh wait, actually it's totally Christian in the fact he's a massive hypocritical piece of shit
Senior was a racist homophobic grifter whose only real value added to the world was when he died. I guess that makes him better than his son, but that's it.
Does crystal pepsi have GHB in it? This covid stuff could be a real test of God. In no Falwell dies of covid, there is no God.
Over/Under on how many weeks it takes Falwell Jr to be caught in a hotel room with a pound of blow and 3 male prostitutes? 4.5 weeks?
Yep. If you asked me if Falwell could be forced out of Liberty, I would’ve said it is more likely Trump is impeached by only Republicans.
It's long been known he's an alcoholic. Back when I worked in retail last year and early this year, a lot of our employees were LU students. They frequently talked about how they saw him leaving local establishments having bought up a bunch of alcohol. When he moved out of his previous on-campus office, the housecleaning staff had to toss out several empty liquor bottles. Add on the slurred speech in that interview and then trying to cover up that he's drinking alcohol in that IG photo and it's blatantly obvious he's got substance abuse problems.
I've known some really good guys who were millionaires whose sons turned out to be pieces of shit, partly due to their affluence This guys dad was not only really rich but also a huge piece of shit
Isn’t the lady he’s standing next to in that picture pregnant, anyone want to set the odds that it’s his? also, of all the things he’s done that should’ve gotten his ass tossed in an oven, this is the one? Didn’t see that coming
