Jerry Falwell Dies

One of the seminal figures in American Evangelical Christianity, Jerry Falwell, has died: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18679412/. I have to admit, I have very mixed feelings about this. Falwell was a frequently intolerant person who only became flexible when it came to his own personal foibles. History will ultimately judge what kind of person he was, but I have a hunch that it may not be all that kind.
