We are back with Reverend Bernice Powell Jackson of the United Church
of Christ and the Reverend Jerry Falwell, chancellor of Liberty
University.
Reverend Falwell, thanks for joining us.
JERRY FALWELL, CHANCELLOR, LIBERTY UNIVERSITY: Sure.
MATTHEWS: What do you think of this ad, this UCC ad, That showed these
bouncers keeping people who were apparently a gay couple and some
people who were African-American from coming in the church? Should the
networks have run that?
(CROSSTALK)
FALWELL: I think networks should have run it. I have no problem with
the ad.
The United Church of Christ had a dual purpose. One was a positive
one. Everybody is welcome. Every church should say that. Two,
apparently, they are trying to say there are churches out there that
everybody can't get in.
MATTHEWS: Right.
FALWELL: And I think they even have a subtler message. They're
saying that the African-American, the Hispanic, the handicapped and
then the gay couple or all four bona fide minorities. I would
disagree.
The two ethnic persons are as God made them, as I am Caucasian.
MATTHEWS: Right.
FALWELL: The handicap person, behind his power, his handicap.
MATTHEWS: Right.
FALWELL: And the gay couple. They chose to marry each other.
MATTHEWS: How did they get to be gay, though?
FALWELL: Well, we probably differ there.
MATTHEWS: I'm asking.
FALWELL: But I think all behavior is chosen.
MATTHEWS: I'm open. I don't know.
FALWELL: I think that...
MATTHEWS: Did you choose to be heterosexual?
FALWELL: I did.
MATTHEWS: You chose it? You thought about it and you came up with
that solution? That lifestyle?
(CROSSTALK)
FALWELL: Put it this way. I was taught as a child that's the right
way to...
MATTHEWS: But did you feel an attraction toward women?
FALWELL: Oh, of course.
MATTHEWS: When people are born and they find themselves having an
attraction to somebody from the same sex, do you think that's a
choice?
FALWELL: I think you can experiment with any kind of perversity and
develop an appetite for it, just like you can food.
MATTHEWS: You don't think it's nature? You think it's nurture.
FALWELL: I don't think any-I don't think anybody is born a bank
robber or born a hostile left-winger or a hostile right-winger or gay
or a promiscuous heterosexual.
I think there comes a time in childhood where environment may be a part
of it, whatever, teaching, instruction, one chooses, I will do this or
that. And that's why good, godly parenting...
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: How old were you when you chose to be heterosexual?
FALWELL: Oh, I don't remember that.
MATTHEWS: Well, you must, because you say it's a big decision.
FALWELL: Well, I started dating when I was about 13.
MATTHEWS: And you had to decide between boys and girls. And you chose
girls.
FALWELL: I never had to decide. I never thought about it.
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: I think it's a ridiculous proposition that you actually
sit down and decide. Let me see, boy or girl this week. Anyway...
FALWELL: I don't think anybody does that.
MATTHEWS: But let me ask you about this ad again. Do you worry that
the networks are exercising a kind of reverse sort of liberal
censorship, saying we are afraid that the conservatives will be mad at
us?
FALWELL: I think it's a corny ad. I think it's a corny ad.
MATTHEWS: Right. Well, that's a good word for it.
FALWELL: Because, really, it's a left-wing slap at a lot of
churches.
And I don't know where those churches are.
MATTHEWS: Right.
FALWELL: I don't know where I can walk up and I can get in.
MATTHEWS: What do you think of John Danforth as a member of the
Supreme Court, if he gets nominated, should he be? He just stepped as
the U.N. ambassador.
(CROSSTALK)
FALWELL: Because he's pro-choice-he is a great man. He's had an
illustrious career. But because he is pro-choice, I would object to
it.
MATTHEWS: OK, thank you very much for joining us.
FALWELL: Thank you.
MATTHEWS: Thanks for fighting the traffic, Reverend Jerry Falwell.
