The world recoils in horror as it learns that Jerry Falwell Jr. is a dirtbag. WHO KNEW??? WHO???

I started reading the Politico piece, and a few paragraphs in concluded that IDGAF.

Whether it's his sex life or his using the "University" funds for real estate projects to fatten the Falwells, who's surprised?

It's a matter of degrees in life for me. Once someone hits "dick" status...like Trump, for example...can they actually become a BIGGER dick as more is revealed?

Trump's certainly trying like hell, but when it comes to Falwell, I saw this leopard's spots a long, long time ago.

faults, but . . . . . .

I can hear the so called Christians saying something like that.

For me, Falwell Jr. is a shithole toooooooooooooo.

So yes, one can accept some faults of some people but when you preach the bible and pretend you are hollier than everyone else, the one who talks to the invisible God, and your faults are not called faults but depraved then you have a sick person who is pretending to be something else for nothing else but personal gain.

Who knows to what extent his depraved actions with his wife and the "pool boy" and others goes to...Let us not forget the hypocrisy that rules religion and let us not forget Haggard of Colorado, and the countless Catholic priests. Religion is a money-making enterprise and those behind it are living the life of kings while doing things that normal people won't do.

Because he threw his Evangelical University's following behind Trump, because he is anti-LGBTQ rights, because he wants to take away women's bodily autonomy. His ilk also tend to be white supremacists.

I ALWAYS hope guys like this will go down in the same ways they try to hurt good people, they hate so many regular people, I hope whatever might be there to come out to explode like a nuke!
