Person(s) for the week: Rev. Jerry Falwell.
The person(s) for the week, is one of the most polarizing (and controversial) public figures in America. A devoutly Christian Man and unapologetic crusader for Christ, the Rev. Jerry Falwell, founded the Moral Majority and was instrumental in the formation of the Christian Coalition, animating many and angering others. No doubt his choice as our person for the week may generate much controversy too. Be that as it may, he is our choice for the person for the week.

There are rules with which Christians are required to comply. The Ten Commandments (not "Requests") come to mind. One of those reads: "Thou shalt not lie against others."
Compare those facts with the notion that Falwell was "devoutly Christian". Genuine Christians do not preach bigotry, hatred, intolerance, and other financially profitable forms of division.
Nor, unlike Falwell, do they lust after power and wealth.
Correction: "Thou shalt not bear false witness." Christians preach the Gospel, but are NOT expected to "judge" -- hence the admonition to "judge not so ye shall not be judged." As for lusting after power and wealth, other than the Jim and Tammy Fae Baker Heritage USA fiasco, what other evidence do you have? Can you share it with us?
