I'm not trying to disparage this man in any way, but I had know idea who he was until he died. I'm 31. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Have I been living under a rock to not know who this guy was?

Do you ever attend church... especially a Protestant church?
Do you ever read books on Christian faith?
If the answer to both of those is no, then it's not really surprising that you haven't heard of him.

I’m the same age and I absolutely have seen Billy Graham before.

Was raised catholic and went to church, but I do not practice anymore.

No.
Ok, then it makes sense that I haven't. They just have his funeral on Fox News in the lobby of my office and that surprised me a bit.

Then what exactly were you trying to do?

schools are for education, not indoctrination. if a public school were to promote one religion over another it would be a violation of the first amendment. god has not been taken out of schools. In that same first amendment it states that it will not prohibit the free exercise of religion. if your religion tells you that you have to proselytize as a teacher then you can go teach at a private school that allows that sort of thing.

Next week, Graham's corpse will lie in state at the Capitol rotunda – only the fourth private citizen to be so honored, and the first since Rosa Parks in 1995. This is a disgrace. But in a certain way, it's also right and fitting – as oddly appropriate as Graham's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. If Billy Graham was, ultimately, a conniving hypocrite with a layman's grasp of the Bible and a supernatural lust for earthly power, he was also a quintessential American success story. He was not so much "America's pastor" as its greatest evangelical entrepreneur – the man who launched a whole separatist (and lucrative) Christian media culture, who laid the foundations for megachurches and prosperity ministries, who brought Jesus back into American politics. He was a public-relations savant, a shameless sycophant who whispered sweet nothings to power in lieu of hard truths. He demonstrated what fortunes could be made, and what human glory could be attained, by transforming evangelical Christianity into a patriotic corporate entity. If that's not American, by God, what is?
Spot. On.

And it would end there, too.
The guy had beliefs. He shared them. Don't want to believe, fine.
He felt like a relationship with Christ was wonderful... and wanted that for others.
But as we all now know, that belief system is far too onerous for the masses.
Moral relativism is what really works...
So that article had a huge effect on your life?

K. He asked a question, and I helped him with that.
No biggie.
