Some highlights from Ann Coulter's column on Jerry Falwell:

Falwell was a perfected Christian. He exuded Christian love for all men, hating sin while loving sinners. This is as opposed to liberals, who just love sinners. Like Christ ministering to prostitutes, Falwell regularly left the safe confines of his church to show up in such benighted venues as CNN...

Actually, there was one small item I think Falwell got wrong regarding his statement after 9/11 that "the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians -- who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle -- the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen.'"

First of all, I disagreed with that statement because Falwell neglected to specifically include Teddy Kennedy and "the Reverend" Barry Lynn.

Second, Falwell later stressed that he blamed the terrorists most of all, but I think that clarification was unnecessary. The necessary clarification was to note that God was at least protecting America enough not to allow the terrorists to strike when a Democrat was in the White House.

(If you still think it isn't Christ whom liberals hate, remember: They hate Falwell even more than they hate me.)

A few questions for Big Con readers:

1) Is there anything more theologically offensive to Christians than the idea that a human being, that creature born of sin and into sin, can be "perfected"?

2) What are the criteria for idiotic Ann Coulter statements to get media attention, and why?

3) Is one hating the sinner, or merely the sin, when one calls a fellow Christian a "brute beast"?

4) Any lawyers out there? Click on the link. And answer me this: can we get Fox to sue the bejibjab out of the National Taxpayers Union for stealing the copyrighted image of Bart Simpson for their ad?

5) Ann Coulter, will you debate me on any or all of these questions, or are you too chicken? Name the time and the place.
