Letter: Falwell should be ‘born again’

Monday, Sept. 24, 2001 | 9:06 a.m.

This is in response to your editorial on the Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson television broadcast in which Rev. Falwell cast blame for terrorism in America on liberal Americans. I find it interesting that at a time when nearly 90 percent of the American public has united in support of President Bush, those religious leaders who were most active in his political campaign chose this moment to divide the country.

I have never understood Falwell and Robertson and their gospel of intolerance and hate. They proclaim themselves as Christians, yet continually espouse doctrine that is antithetical to the most fundamental tenets of the religion. Another apology from Falwell is not what is needed. Falwell needs a change of heart. He needs to be "born again."
