Old news by now.

I’m linking to Hot Air, because this is everywhere, and I think Allah has the right idea with pointing out the crazies on the Left who are so full of joy at this man’s death that they are like a puppy peeing on himself when you rub his belly.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I never really liked Falwell’s brand of Christianity. I’m an Evangelical, mind you. But, coming out and blaming homosexuals for September 11 just never seemed like what I thought my Savior would do. The statement was born of a throwback theology, and anti-intellectual at best.

I do wish Falwell peace with God, and his family and organization comfort at his passing.

At the same time, there were so many times that I heard something Falwell said, and I just prayed that he would shut up. I am hopeful that the face of Christianity in America will now be able to move past the caricature that Falwell’s opponents made him out to be.

I am not, however, dancing on his grave, as are many on the Left - One only has to look at the remarks left over at Pandagon, or at TMZ, or at DU, or at Kos, or the rally planned for San Francisco (check Hot Air for links).

At times like this, when a man dies who I might not completely agree with, but I believe that he loved God, I am reminded of the scene from the movie The Apostle where The Apostle E.F. is on the run, and sees a Catholic Priest blessing a group of boats as they pass under a dock on a river. He says something under his breath to the effect of: “You do it your way, I’ll do it mine. But we get it done. Don’t we?”

In the economy of things, we all have a part to play.
