Jerry Falwell

The All-American evangelical Christian pastor/televangelist. "The Bible is the inerrant... word of the living God. It is absolutely infallible, without error in all matters pertaining to faith and practice, as well as in areas such as geography, science, history, etc." "I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!" "The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country." "Good Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questions." "I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternate lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way - all of them who have tried to secularize America - I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen'." - speaking of the 9/11 terrorist attack. "If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being."
