That’s it, really. Falwell is dead. Is he headed up to his reward, or down to his reward?
Much as I’d like to think our votes would have sway, I believe God’s busy right now. No comments about how horrible I am to judge, please.
I’ll start. I hope he’s going to Hell. That’s my vote - NO.
Doubtful.
Ha!
If they just bury him in West Virginia he’ll be in “almost Heaven” if you accept John Denver’s take on reality.
In a word: Yes.
Much as I dislike Falwell, I think it is probable that he is now in heaven. At some time in his life, I believe he made a genuine commitment to Christ, and drop of salvation neutralizes a lake of sin.
I believe Jeffrey Dahmer went to heaven, too. I expect that there are lots of folks in heaven with whom I wouldn’t have wanted to rub elbows on earth.
No, because there’s no such place as Heaven. (Nor is there a Hell).

Not a chance.
Impossible.
You said one word, but I’ll add: there is no heaven or hell, so it is impossible. IMO anyway.
No, because the place is mythical.
If there was an omnipotent loving God, and the heaven/hell thing were true, I don’t see how anybody could deserve eternal torment, so a truly loving God would not send anybody to Hell. Which of then brings up the question, why make the place to begin with? Maybe use it for storage.
I hope that, if Heaven and Hell are real (and I don’t believe they are), he is in Heaven. Hell is not something I would wish on anyone.
However, I hope that he and God had a long talk first. I hope he understands what he really was, and who he really worked for in this life. I hope, if such a thing is possible, that he reached a place of love and understanding, and I hope he was much grieved to see himself for all he really was. But, I doubt it. I think he just blinked out.
ETA: crud. one word: NO, because I don’t believe in either such place.
Purgatory, please.
(I am not Catholic but find the notion of a stopover for a little purifyin’ before entering Heaven to be pleasing. And no, I won’t be praying for him, he’s on his own).
<snort!>
Romansperson stole my answer. I am Catholic though, so I’m going to steal it back. It’s mine, dammit!
Purgatory.
No
Worm food. No more, no less.
I think that’s between he and the Lord, and is therefore unknowable by anyone but them.
Two words, sorry:
Probably not.
The eloquence, lucidity and sanity expressed here reflects my view.*
If there is/was a heaven, I’d say yes, but he’ll be surprised at who he meets there.
