FALWELL DEAD AT 73

1933 - 2007

The Reverend Jerry Falwell was found unconscious in his office at 11:30 this morning by his associates. Falwell’s Cardiologist Dr. Carl Moore said that Falwell was found without a pulse and that all efforts to revive him failed. Falwell was pronounced dead at 12:40pm.

Falwell might be most remembered for comments he made after the attacks on 9-11 saying that God allows he enemies of America to give us what we deserve.
Falwell said, "What we saw on Tuesday, as terrible as it is, could be miniscule if, in fact, God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve."

Pat Robertson replied, "Well, Jerry, that's my feeling. I think we've just seen the antechamber to terror, we haven't begun to see what they can do to the major population."

Falwell said, "The ACLU has got to take a lot of blame for this. And I know I'll hear from them for this, but throwing God...successfully with the help of the federal court system...throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools, the abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked and when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad...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 alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who try to secularize America...I point the thing in their face and say you helped this happen."

Falwell later apologized saying that he was “tired” when he spoke.

Falwell was born in Lynchburg, Virginia on August 11, 1933.
