(See what he just did there?)[/p] Falwell also told his Baptist congregation in Lynchburg that the Bible teaches that God will maintain the Earth until Christ's second coming, so although Christians should be responsible environmentalists (eh?), they shouldn't devolve into what he calls "first-class nuts."

Because God told Falwell, He hates the dirty hippies. ::[a href="http://www.wric.com/global/story.asp?s=6140669"]WRIC Richmond News[/a][/p]
