Without Falwell, all morality would be a jump ball -- beheading for Allah equivalent to pedophilia equivalent to choosing donuts for breakfast (oh, wait -- the last one is EVIL since it has evil sugar). Also, he was very important in advancing the idea that self-restraint is the best restraint.

I think he's saying that if Jerry Falwell hadn't existed, beheading people for Allah, pedophilia, and eating donuts for breakfast would all be considered on the same level of evil. Or maybe he just thinks muslim pedophiles like donuts. Who knows.
I don't believe my morality would be or will be any different in the absence of Jerry Falwell. Jerry Garcia, maybe, but not Falwell.
Unless you're a troll, you should put your dictionary in front of you and understand basic facts. And Jerry Falwell has lived only 70 years. The rest of the world was and is doing pretty well without his "enlightment", African American among them.
Oh, I forgot, there was no such thing as morality before the God Squad showed up. Seriously, how brain damaged do you have to be to believe that all these things are equal?

I didn't understand much of this from the jump ball (what?) , but I think it's implying that Jesus (and all the other poromoters of morality) had no effect at all and were virtual non-entities until Jerry Falwell came along several millenia later.initial lapel pins which supposedly meant "Jesus First" (but WE knew what they really meant)? What an egomaniac!
It was a fricking joke people....
I can understand that perhaps the OP was just kidding, but it helps to actually talk some kind sense if you want people to get the joke *is confused*
So, what, I can't desire a peaceful society without religion? How about, society works better when citizens do not have to fear for their lives? How about some people actually care about each other and don't want to see them harmed?
One who acts well behaved because Someone is watching them and threatening them is actually the biggest threat to society. They don't actually care about others. One slip of faith, or "whispers from God", and all that "morality" goes out the window.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
