It's nice to see a few others know what destruction Jesus brings to all who follow him. I know these words well:

Well, let me say that I did shed some tears later – not for the man, Jerry Falwell, but for the person that he could have been. How dare he outlive the people that I care about who thought he was so wonderful. How dare he prey on gullible people who cannot see how dangerous this nutjob was and remains even in death. How dare he polarize this nation in such a disgraceful manner and push creationism in our schools and paranoia in our society. How dare he condemn to hell - and he did do so - anyone, including people of faith, who didn't believe his cartoonish superstitions. How dare he tell lies to children!...

It is regrettable that the gullible also share some of the blame for insisting on remaining gullible. But there are those far worse, those that use gullibility as one of their excuses and who go along to get along.
