Dont you laugh when the hearse goes by
For you may be the next to die
first they wrap you in a clean white sheet
bury you down about 6 feet
the worms go in.the worms go out
they go in skinny and come out stout
and then your body turns turns to a slimy green
that looks something like whipping cream
And what ,me with no spoon!
Falwell is on his way
I don’t believe he’s going to heaven, because I don’t believe heaven exists. Except that we’ve got a little more heaven on earth, now that he’s gone.
Nope.
Do you remember the scene in The Money Pit where the bathtub falls through the floor… and Tom Hanks starts this half-braying, kinda-choking way-over-the-top laugh that he just can’t control?
THAT’S the laugh that went through my brain when I read the OP.
BRAAAAAINNNS!!!
Heaven.
I’m a Christian, like Jerry Falwell, and we believe that Jesus gave the gift of grace, which forgives us of our sins no matter how nasty they are. Specifically, I’m a gay Christian, and I think I’ll see Falwell in Heaven some day. And, freed from the prejudices that crippled him in life, I think he’ll be pleased to see me.
My Heaven is basically a brothel with lots of freshly’stocked comic book racks and bebop jazz on the stereo. Falwell’s is more like Liberty University, minus the hidden nooks for a quick smoke. He’ll go to his, I’ll go to mine.
Nope.
Perhaps. Nobody goes but for the grace of God. My priest had some interesting definitions:
Justice- getting what you deserve
Mercy- not getting what you deserve
Grace- getting what you don’t deserve
If his faith was true and his intentions honorable, I think by the grace of God he may have made it.
That is a very Christian outlook for a Christian. 
Seriously, good of you to be so forgiving, statements like yours make me wish I was capable of having faith.
Of course, most of Falwell’s public statements have made me glad that I cannot be numbered with him.

Putting aside the fallacy inherent in the question. . .
Yes.
I figure that he at least truly, sincerely believed he was doing God’s work the right way, and if you’re going to believe all the other silly stuff, that ought to be enough to get you in.He might get a comeuppance when he gets there, though.
This predates Mad Magazine. Trust me.
As to Falwell and eternity: Who knows? Who cares?

Detroit.
Yes.
God the “drunken solider” would love his kind.
