quote:

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

An omnipotent deity cannot be duped, and true belief is not a choice. You either believe or you don't. Pascal's wager is thus a logical fallacy based upon the nonsensical premise that an all-knowing deity can be convinced by hollow platitudes.

I don't believe, cannot force myself too believe and everuthing I can objectively assess regarding reality is counter to the claims of monotheism. Belief for me would therefore have to be a supernatural intervention, and there's no point in worrying about that. It will either happen or it won't, and if it doesn't and God exists and insists on punishing me on that basis I'll be left to deal with that I suppose. It's silly to lose sleep over though.

he late Rev. Billy Graham, the Christian evangelist known as "America's Pastor," will lie in honor in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda next week.

Graham's body will be brought to the Capitol on Wed., Feb 28 where he will lie in honor until Thursday.

Members of the public and Capitol Hill community are invited to pay their respects to the late reverend while he lies in rest.

Graham is only the fourth person to lie in honor in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. The three others were Rosa Parks in 2005 and the two Capitol police officers who died in the line of duty in 1998.

Upon the arrival of Graham’s casket, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., will take part in a bicameral service.

The Secret Service says it is preparing for President Donald Trump to attend The Rev. Billy Graham's funeral next Friday. The preparations started yesterday and “came into place quickly,” according to a Secret Service public affairs representative who deferred us to the White House for confirmation of the President’s visit.
