Enough to make you want to stay home on Sundays.

JERRY FALWELL (with Pat Robertson agreeing): And I agree totally with you that the Lord has protected us so wonderfully these 225 years. [...] 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 (the 9/11 attacks) happen.”

The Lord protected us, wonderfully, for 225 years? Tell that to African-Americans whom God allowed to be wonderfully enslaved, humiliated and often-times, murdered for no other reason than having a different color skin. (Maybe they believe only whites are the chosen ones?) -Buck

Pat Robertson calls for assassination of Hugo Chavez: The religious broadcaster suggested on-air that American operatives assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to stop his country from becoming “a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism.”

Fred Waldron Phelps: Pastor of the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), listed as a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center. He is known for preaching with slogans and banners denoting phrases such as “Thank God for 9/11″, “God hates fags,” “AIDS cures fags,” and “Fags die, God laughs (or mocks),” and claims that God will punish homosexuals as well as people such as Bill O’Reilly, Coretta Scott King, Ronald Reagan, and Howard Dean, whom his church considers “fag-enablers”. He has also thanked God for the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.

The Mark Foley scandal: Soliciting e-mails and sexually explicit instant messages sent by Republican Mark Foley to young men who had formerly served as congressional pages.

And this, from MSNBC.com:

Wife sentenced in preacher’s death

She gets 3 years, but may end up serving just one more week

Mary Winkler

SELMER, Tenn. - The case against a small-town preacher’s wife who shot her husband started out being eligible for the death penalty. It likely ended Friday with a sentence that could mean she has just a week left behind bars.
[...]

Prosecutors said she was trying to cover up a check-kiting scheme when she killed Matthew Winkler with a shotgun blast to the back as he lay in bed. Jurors convicted her of the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter in April after she testified that he hit and kicked her, emotionally abused her, forced her to look at pornography and demanded sex she considered unnatural.

Sadly, I could go on…

UPDATE: Mary Winkler must serve 210 days, or about seven months, of her sentence before she can be released on probation, but she gets credit for the five months she has already spent in jail, Judge Weber McCraw said. -CNN
