He's 1/3 of the prog rock band S'mores.

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...

...

...

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

Hate is the true Fountain of Youth. It will give more nourishment than the finest bacon.

SoCalSurfer: who the hell is billy graham?

Someone who's going to have a lot of 'splainin to do when he gets to the pearly gates.

I only care enough to hope to have been first to make a "cracker" joke, but I should have known. Damn you, Fark!

*angry fist*

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

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

Too bad for Billy that god isn't real - otherwise he'd be up there on the xtian leaderboard

NallTWD: SoCalSurfer: who the hell is billy graham?

A bigot that hides behind religion.

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.

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

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

I don't trust anyone who holds mass religious ceremonies.

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.

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".
