Mar. 29th, 2005 05:04 pmI was going to make a joke that Jerry Falwell had just said: "If I'm wrong about gay marriage, may God strike me down!"
But then, I realized that I don't really wish suffering on anyone, especially an evangelist who I half-respect as he's the only real major TV preacher who hasn't been caught with his pants down, which implies either that he does indeed practice what he preaches (which I respect philosophically), or maybe is just better at not getting caught (which I respect practically), but on the other hand I really don't respect anyone who has this super-neurotic need to force people through law to agree with their own highly-structured, yet illogical, beliefs.
Then I realized that the disclaimer is actually five times longer than the rather lame joke, so I'm wondering why I'm even pressing the Post button...
