Reported statement by Jerry Falwell on '700 Club'

14 Sep 2001

On "The 700 Club", 13/Sep/01, Jerry Falwell is reported to have made the following comments which Pat "Marian" Robertson was also reported to have agreed with:

"What we saw on Tuesday, as terrible as it is, could be miniscule if, in fact -- if, in fact -- god continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve... The ACLU's got to take a lot of blame for this. And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But, throwing god or successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing god out of the public square, out of the schools. 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.'"
