I'll say this for the guy...he believed what he preached. He wasn't on TV to be a superstar, or make mounds of money.

"bigiot"?


'Charlatan' is a perfectly cromulent word ... sham, fraud, hoaxster. It's much easier, and appropriately, affixed to Trump but in his own way ol' Bill earned a deferential usage of the term in regards to him.

virtually everything you say is wrong. just like you accused me of voting for Trump. you have a real talent.

I was joking about you being dumb enough to donate to Billy Graham. Your reaction though makes me think you may have.

"Smiles with Nostrils"

"...no Hmong, go find some blacks"

Yeah. To compare him to others is bad. He was as genuine as any religious figure we have seen for awhile.

What is there about him that is not genuine?

Beyond Bible pimping? The way he would mix politics and religion to fit whatever point he was trying to make.

He was not a perfect man, no one is.

But to call him a pimp and make it seem like he was motivated by political gain is just wrong.

He got too involved with Nixon during the 70s to which he regretted later in life.

how did he advance himself? what did he get out of it?

I'm not saying that he had to be a perfect man. I don't know of a televangelist that wasn't motivated by power and money. They all used the faith of others to take their money. I despise ANYONE who uses God to swindle others. It really boils my blood. We're going to have to agree to disagree on this.

Well said. I wish my fellow board members could accept Jesus into their hearts.

OK so you despise all religions pretty much (don't know of any that don't take donations). That's fine. Can't argue with that.

I'm as spurious as the next guy about any televangelist. But you never heard about him living in opulence, like Creflo, Paisley, Meyers, Swaggarts, Olsteen, list goes on.

Actual religions are different than a guy enriching and celebrating himself either directly or indirectly.

Saying that he wasn't as bad as others doesn't exactly change anything unless I compared him to Jimmy and others.

How is it that Pat Robertson seems to have outlived this guy?

Wait...is Pat Robertson still alive?

_________________

I wonder if it has anything to do with that fact that Robertson is 12 years younger than Graham? Just spit balling.

I wish all the board members would listen to Dr. Graham and give their lives to Christ. It might make for a better message board.

Likely? Does that mean you are not sure he was wrong?

Only God and Seacrest know for sure.
