That part of the speech by Falwell was broadcast on KGO yesterday (the 15th).
I
heard it, and it confirms that Falwell believes the atrocity of September 11,
2001 was god's way of punishing America for its sins. Falwell has been roundly
criticized by many journalists and commentators for his religious fanatic
remarks about this incident.

Don't be surprised by anything religious fanatics say or do. Remember that it
was religious fanatics who committed the WTC and Pentagon attacks.

Religionism is a brain disease which precludes concern about consequences in
the real world, as the suicidal hijacking zealots' actions prove.

We won't move into a better future until we debunk religiosity, the most
