I know it is stooping to their level to disrespect a man after he has died, so I have thought this blog through....

I was going to give links to the seven deadly sins.... i.e. Sloth and Gluttony:

and I was going to say that Jerry Falwell should have been watching what went into his mouth instead of spewing lies about gay people from it.....

But instead, as a healthcare provider, I will use Jerry Falwell's death to remind people, that overeating and not exercising has serious consequences, including death. When these guys attack gays, they always talk of the "gay lifestyle." The "gay lifestyle" that will end up shortening one's life. The sad thing? There is no such thing as a "gay lifestyle."

There is however, such a thing as an "unhealthy lifestyle" that includes overeating, drinking alcohol, not exercising, and doing drugs. Many gay and non-gay people have this "unhealthy lifestyle" and, as we see with Jerry Falwell, it will lead to death.

There also exists a "healthy lifestyle" that involves eating low fat foods, exercising, drinking moderate amounts of alcohol, and having a healthy sex life which includes being true to who you really are. Many people live this lifestyle and many of them are gay.

It is sad when anyone dies and I am not gloating over Mr. Falwell's death. I do however, want to point out the irony of a man dying of an "unhealthy lifestyle" when that is exactly what he preached against his whole life.

Here is a great link to Soulforce's Mel White on Larry King Live and Anderson Cooper giving his take on Jerry Falwell   http://www.soulforce.org/article/1263
