Onward Christian Soldiers

Exemplifying the true Christian spirit that Jerry Falwell stood for, a Liberty University student brought several homemade bombs to Falwell's funeral service to use against protesters.

ABC News reports, in Bomb Plot Thwarted at Falwell's Funeral:

Even in death, the Rev. Jerry Falwell rouses the most volatile of emotions. Thousands came to say farewell to the man who mobilized Christian evangelicals and made them a major force in American politics. A small group of protesters gathered near the service; students from Falwell's Liberty University staged their own counter-protest, but the funeral was not disrupted.

However, Campbell County authorities arrested a Liberty University student for having several homemade bombs in his car.

The student, 19-year-old Mark D. Uhl of Amissville, Va., reportedly told authorities that he was making the bombs to stop protesters from disrupting the funeral service.

I'm sure God is smiling.

I, on the other hand, prefer to remember him this way: A Just Reward.
