Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition

I was flipping through the channels and ended up watching a bit of CNN, when the subject of the election and terrorism came up. They had a clip of Jerry Falwell saying that we should track down the terrorists and "blow them all up in the name of the Lord." I don't understand why so many people follow him -- what he's saying is no different from the terrorists he demonizes. You could dress him up in a turban and put the video on Al-Jazeera TV and people would never know the difference. It just goes to show that not everyone who talks about God really understands what God is all about.
