Black staff, athletes leave Liberty University after Falwell tweet

https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-brief...-after-falwell

Quote:
Four Black staff members have left the school so far and the same number of Black athletes have announced their intentions to do the same after Falwell’s tweet, according to The Associated Press. The report comes several weeks after a group of Black graduates signed a letter condemning Falwell for the tweet and demanding he apologize.

Once the Dems take over the Congress and Presidency, they seriously need to look into taking away tax exemptions for these sham "universities", and take a VERY hard look at the Mega churches and televangelists who are extremists politically. There's no reason they should enjoy tax exempt status when they're so politically active.

Liberty University announces investigation into tenure of Falwell Jr.

https://thehill.com/homenews/news/51...-of-falwell-jr

Maybe claw back some of that golden parachute. Would be great karma if this asshole were to be bankrupted, just like his pal Donny.

Larry Flynt: My Final Farewell to the Falwells
The Hustler publisher, who won a landmark First Amendment legal battle against Jerry Falwell Sr., writes about Jerry Falwell Jr.’s fall from grace—and the Trump of it all.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/larry-...o-the-falwells

Quote:
Ironically, Falwell Sr. and I actually became friends later. We enjoyed many cordial visits, participated in debates across the country, and even exchanged Christmas cards. I have to concede that his friendship with me proves that, for the most part, he was practicing an essential tenet of his faith, forgiveness, and was a sincere Christian.

Which is more than can be said for many of his fellow televangelists—the sorry parade of charlatans like Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, Paula White, and all the other prime-time Elmer Gantrys—including the son, Jerry Falwell Jr. They’re obsessed above all with sexual behavior, ignoring and subverting the core message of Christianity—humility and compassion for the downtrodden—while embracing “prosperity gospel,” which is to say the gospel of greed above all other values.

They support Republican politicians eager to gut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare and other programs designed to do what Jesus Christ strived for: the reduction of human suffering in this vale of tears. They live in multimillion-dollar mansions and fly around in private jets, while fleecing their flock for “prayer donations” guaranteed to cure incurable diseases and afflictions. They forget that Jesus Christ only lost his temper and acted violently once: when driving the money-lenders from the temple. But they are not troubled in the least by the banksters on Wall Street, who hoovered up millions from middle-class Americans, granting the 1 percent a get-out-of-jail-free card to do it all over again. Instead, these evangelists reserve the whip for gays, women who want to control their own bodies, pot smokers, and other “heretics” who are only trying to lead fulfilling lives. They actually work to increase the sum of human suffering. They are peddlers of religious snake oil.
Our resident Insane "Christians" clearly fall into the latter category...

How Jerry Falwell Jr. mixed his personal finances with his university's

Jerry and Donny are two peas in a pod. Both will wind up behind bars eventually.
