God Bless,
I don't think many here that didn't grow up in a very rural environment with Christian parents, can understand how we may feel ..... and I'm far from a goodie goody... But so many here look to draw someone into an argument about the left vs right and assume things that are extremely intimate to an individual... That's why I don't do social media. More downside than upside.... My dad loved 2 things besides mom, baseball and his church. Yet he was full of his own shortcomings which may have lead to an early death... We don't know because back then they didn't do autopsies. He died early in my life... But I was instilled with values from this man that I will always hold dear. I agree and disagree with those those that even begin to go in that direction... May God forgive me. But this is the nature of such media.
amazing that on prime time which was only 4 channels u planned ur evening around with family when knew he was on. My dad who was a big man, in the army , played college basketball after turning Bobby Bowden down for football in mid 50’s, would pull his handkerchief out to wipe tears away. Great memories
It has nothing to do with race, he was anti-gay, that's why the left detests him.
[FONT="]The preacher, who met with 12 US Presidents spanning 60 years, preached that homosexuality is “detestable” and “a sinister form of perversion” contributing to the decay of civilisation – and the Billy Graham Evangelical Association continues to advocate gay ‘cure’ therapy on its website.[/FONT]
[FONT="]He was clear in denouncing gay people throughout the equal rights movement, telling his followers: “Let me say this loud and clear, we traffic in homosexuality at the peril of our spiritual welfare.”[/FONT]
[FONT="]Graham, who claimed in 1993 that AIDS was a “judgement from God”, also used his large political influence to push anti-gay laws – throwing his support behind a 2012 attempt in North Carolina to amend the constitution to define marriage as “between one man and one woman”.[/FONT]
[FONT="]He wrote at the time: “At 93, I never thought we would have to debate the definition of marriage. The Bible is clear – God’s definition of marriage is between a man and a woman.”[/FONT]
Of course the left hates him. He was anti-gay. The left wants to completely rewrite history. Streets have to be renamed. Statues have to be destroyed. Parks have to be renamed. Everything has to be politically correct. No respect for anyone or anything that doesn't think like they do.
