Wow
Just wow

Once you get past all the motivational speaking and feel good vibes, at the heart of his message and his entire life's purpose was a fantastical fiction. In the end, his entire existence was built on a myth.

Billy Graham once told a man who questioned the existence of God - "If you are right we both just die and there is nothing, but If I am right you could spend all eternity in a place called hell."

So Roger Klarvin, you may think you know the truth but none of us knows everything. Is it not possible that in the portion of truth you know nothing about- in that sir maybe the truth about God exists?

Before you spout off with your intellectualism of superiority- consider you may be wrong and the implications that follow

Despite clearly leaving a lasting legacy, one wonders what good men like him could have done in areas providing more objective good to the world.

I'm not antagonizing, but who are these men and women? The ones not driven by faith who create more objective good in the world?

Graham served and gave hope (via faith in Christ) to millions. Plenty of them probably did nothing at all, but I suspect he helped thousands become better husbands, wives, parents, friends, etc.

I don't believe you have to be a person of faith to do those things, but I also can't help but notice that people who leave this type of legacy frequently claim badges of faith, and seem to be driven by it. Vague and amorphous feelings of goodwill toward men and "doing good" are often fleeting and irresolute.
