Curious Affairs Of Atherton Bartelby

Curious briefings on culture, design, and the digital world, as observed through the looking glass by Atherton Bartelby.

What Goes Around Comes.

As has been evidenced in previous articles, I am not one to jump on a soapbox at the death of anyone.

Because I think that the loss of any life is tragic.

And I certainly would not jump onto the blog bandwagon of the 85,000 online articles today that I have read on the subject.

However.

I do feel that he needs to be immortalized.

So I am re-posting one of my favorite passages of his here.

And allowing his words (and the title of this entry) to speak for him.

The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe 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.

Rest in peace, Mr. Falwell.

You deserve it.

    Like you, I don’t wish death or harmful things on people. That’s just asking for bad karma.

    But I can’t help but think this man was such a waste of a human being, and, I may be struck by lightning at any second for saying this, but thank God he isn’t inflicting his moral code on the world any longer. Good riddence.

  2. I agree with you completely.

    (About both the wishing harmful things on people and thanking God that he is not inflicting his moral code on the world any longer.)

    Good riddance, indeed!

    I was JUST telling Richard how Jerry applied for the beachfront next to mine a few months ago. Sadly for him, the Asshole Homeowners Association of Hell and Other Outlying Spheres Past Purgatory (AHAHOOSPP) rejected his application on account that he wasn’t hot enough. I’m SURE he’ll find a nice place somewhere in NO time–I hear Saddam is selling his studio on the corner of Dilation and Curettage!
