Billy Graham


He's a cracker.

I worked at a park in college that hosted a picnic for his followers and when Billy Graham showed up, I thought it looked like he'd die at any minute. That was 16 years ago. Now he just looks like the judge in Nothing But Trouble.

I was just thinking, with all the wonderful people that have passed away. Why do the Pat Robertson's seem to live forever? I know Billy wasnt a anti-semite hateful person like pat was...

I only care enough to post in this thread that I don't care about Billy Graham.

Yep, nothing to say here.

i don't know about those other guys
there's somethin' in the back of their eyes
but billy, you're the man
who don't use slight of hand
ain't wearin' no disguise
i love you, billy

i love the simple things you say
and you never seem to get in the way
no one is quite like you
compassionate and true
"just as i am", i say
i love you, billy

Well, read a little bit about him and that should explain it.

I hope this isn't all of Billy Graham. I want s'more.

Too bad for Billy that god isn't real - otherwise he'd be up there on the xtian leaderboard
 
2011-11-30 05:02:11 PM
Okay, I was trying to quickly navigate through some horsecrap theology websites to no avail. Is Graham a 'prosperity gospel' preacher or not? My opinion of him hangs in the balance.

NallTWD: SoCalSurfer: who the hell is billy graham?

You are an idiot.

Unlike every other famous preacher, Billy only had one message, a very simple one, and he always stuck to it and never waivered: God loves you.

That's it. That is all he ever preached. I can't stand Pat Robertson, I can't stand Falwell, Swaggart, and every other TV preacher as well. But Graham? If you knew anything about him, it is difficult not to respect and admire him.

Plus his early rock star days with his colorful zoot suits, screaming teens, and that crazy-assed orchestra leader of his just made for great theater.

Puff Graham indeed.

Billy Graham is responsible for some of the most boring hours of my life. Stupid religious family.

Nah, you just winged him and made him a Unitarian.


There was a 'Dilbert' cartoon in which the titular character thought he might be a Unitarian. He was talking to Dogbert, thus bringing us back full circle to your handle. Assuming that it's a Dogbert reference.

How is he a bigot? are you sure you're not mixing him up with Jerry Falwell or Bob Jones.

Read up on his conversations with Nixon. Its just barely anti-semetic, and they were private conversations.

It similar to private conversations I have the racist members of my family... just nod and agree so as to not advance the conversation or get into a worthless argument.

Fleecing the faithful really isn't a crime unless your a gypsy/fortune teller. It is pretty sleazy however.

Yeah, but he wasn't batshiat crazy. His rallies weren't "send me $700 or God will smite you". His rallies weren't "if you don't adhere to every single opinion of my ministry you're going to hell."

Like a poster said above... he just wanted everyone to believe "God loves you".
 
2011-11-30 05:14:52 PM
The real shame is he doesn't get the change to be judged by his imaginary creator, no one deserves it more.
 
2011-11-30 05:15:15 PM
I respect Billy Graham. Like hillary said, he has always tried to be a peace maker. I can't recall him ever attacking anyone. He only ever preached God's love and salvation. I wish him well.

DrZiffle: Don't understand the hate for Billy Graham.

He tends to paint people with a broad, ignorant brush with comments like this:

"'The Arabs will not be happy until every Jew is dead. They hate the state of Israel. They all hate the Jews. God gave that land to the Jews. The Arabs will never accept that. Why can't they live in peace?"
 
2011-11-30 05:15:21 PM
I would have bet money he died years ago.

In any case, he always seemed to be one of the least controversial famous preachers.

That thing with Nixon is the only "controversy" listed on his wiki page.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Graham#Discussion_of_Jews_with_Nix o n

Contrast that with, say, Pat Robertson.

Citations please. Graham was not among the usual lot of irrelevant and/or greedy pricks who pass as ministers. If you don't like his message, fine, but don't lump him in with the Swaggarts and the Falwells and the Robertsons.

DrZiffle: Don't understand the hate for Billy Graham.

Yeah...Graham is one of the really decent evangelists.

He bailed Martin Luther King, Jr. out of jail. Refused to ally himself with Falwell's "Moral Majority".

Overall, he's been a good man.
