Which beliefs? His was a morality that was against it. What does the decade have to do with it? Was there some study that came out that proved homosexuality was moral? Is there a scan of some sort that can determine that? He considered fornication and infidelity immoral as well. Is there some morality discovery that disproves that beyond people simply wanting to believe almost anything goes?

Well, they're both steaming piles of shite that have no problem ruining other's lives, so there's that in common.

I believe, and I have no idea if he’s in heaven. I bet he lost some points with God because of his craven, douchenozzle sellout son, so he’s probably in Purgatory for a while.

I don't get people hating on Graham. If you don't agree with him that is one thing. His beliefs/morals were set by his faith, and I don't know a single person that has irrefutable proof either way. He may proven to be wrong or right, but damn you have to respect his commitment and his ability to live his life the way he preached.

Calling him a fraud or POS because he doesn't share your beliefs is asinine.

This argument and point is so dumb.

I think Dr. Graham is a great man and one of the last true religious leaders we've had.

But yet about 15 or so years ago, he came out and said that if people didn't donate X amount of dollars, the Good Lord was going to take him. WTF?

I am by all means not a holy roller, but that in itself turn my mind way away from said a-hole.



Oral Roberts, not Billy Graham.

Are you saying all Christians look alike?

The first amendment regarding religion has been bastardized by leftists like they do everything they touch.

Graham's passing is highly illustrative of the scum the leftists have become.

Reciting Christian prayers in school is promoting one religion over the others.


Please explain to me which law Congress has passed making schools promote a religion. They have not yet the courts have restricted the "Free exercise of". I am not aware of Congress forcing through law for schools to pray.

Separation of religion and state is where in this?

This is not law

They made laws saying it cannot be done is what they have done.

You would think, but then you also would think state funded education facilities promoting a certain religion is an understandable breach of the 1st Amendment.

Allowing beliefs is not promoting. Suppressing beliefs is a violation of the 1st.

If a Jew wants to pray, then let them. If a Muslim wants to pray then let them. If a Christian wants to pray then let them. It is their Right.

That's right munch. School leadership cannot promote prayer in school.

School leadership cannot, via unconstitutional law, pray in school.
