@npr_bot This is the second wet-kiss obituary I've read about this minister.

In 1979, he joined Jerry Falwell, Tim LaHaye, D. James Kennedy, and Greg Dixon and founded the Moral Majority.

In 1986, he said AIDS was God's judgment against homosexuality.

A segregationist, Stanley had guards stationed outside his church to keep African Americans out. This was as recent as the 1970s. https://tinyl.io/8Nfy

Miss me with the accolades.

I believe in Hell so Charles Stanley has somewhere to go

As a kid I was made to watch his T.V. show, In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley. The man with the huge floppy Bible seemed to me a total fraud. Later, I looked up the facts about him.

@SharonGibson3 @npr_bot and in the 90’s he moved FBC Atlanta to the much whiter ‘burbs, simultaneously the most Atlanta and most Southern Baptist thing ever!

@bullcitybrian @npr_bot These articles would have you believe this guy was a prince of a man. Next to VOA's failure to mention McCurtain County, OK officials longing for the good old days of #lynching of Black people, the saccharine handling of this man's life is the second-most disturbing writing I've read today.

If his belief system is correct, may he suffer for eternity; his followers as well.
