Falwell: "Jesus wants him 'to do what's in the best interest of his business"

[brooklynite]

Embattled Liberty University chief Jerry Falwell Jr. told a Christian magazine this week that he believed Jesus would be a hardcore capitalist were he alive today.

Via Right Wing Watch, Falwell Jr. said in an interview with Charisma News that he believed Christ’s teachings about doing what’s best for your personal business superseded his teachings about being merciful toward your enemies.

Specifically, Falwell said that Jesus’s teachings about turning the other cheek would not stop him from filing civil lawsuits against former Liberty University employees who leaked embarrassing emails he sent to other staff members.

1. Maybe

But I still want to see the email first, unless he got a hard copy in the mail with a verifiable return address.

2. He must have torn a lot of pages out of his bible

Assuming he even has one.

3. He's trying real hard to rationalize his greed and avarice.

Anyone can justify their behavior with the way they interpret the Bible.

4. Has Jerry ever read the New Testament?

9. He's not even a real preacher.

5. Bloomberg: J. O'Nazareth & Co. IPO valued at $12B

Reknowned bread and fish distributor J. O'Nazareth & Co. follows up its expansion into the foot-washing spa business with a highly profitable and proprietary wine making process. Vinophiles across the globe have praised the wines for extremely high quality, leading to high investor interest at the decision to take the company public.

8. Keep it up J Falwell, Jr

While the rest of us sit by watching your 'University' implode. Maybe the Pool Boy can start a bucket brigade with the other Hostel Boys?

10. Luke 16

There was a rich man, dressed in purple and fine linen and living in luxury. At his gate lay a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and hoping to eat what fell from the rich man’s table: the dogs came and licked his sores. In the end, the beggar died and angels carried him away to Abraham.

The rich man died too. From Hell where he was tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus beside him. And he called out, 'Have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I burn in agony.'

But Abraham said, 'Remember in your lifetime you received the good things and Lazarus the bad? Now he is comforted and you suffer. There is a great abyss between us and you, so that no one can go from here to you nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'

The rich man answered, 'Then send Lazarus to warn my five brothers so they do not also come to suffer here.'

But Abraham answered, 'They already have Moses and the Prophets: let them heed them.'

'But if someone came to them from the dead, surely they would repent,' he said.

"No,' said Abraham, 'If they will not heed Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even by someone rising from the dead.'

11. I wish these morons would just go away.

I'm sure that God would probably smite Falwell if he were alive.
