Perhaps his most provocative came Sept. 13, 2001, when he appeared on "The 700 Club," the Rev. Pat Robertson's TV show, and blamed pagans, abortionists, feminists, gays, the ACLU and others for Sept. 11, 2001."I point the finger in their face and say,'You helped this happen,' " he said.

To Falwell, religion was about political influence and power.
