Franklin Graham Is the Worst Thing to Happen to God in a While

Franklin Graham is the worst thing to happen to God in a while -- well, OK, God’s reputation. I’m only slightly exaggerating.

You see, Franklin Graham is at it again, making life difficult for thoughtful Christians everywhere. In a speech at the Family Research Council’s Watchmen on the Wall, Graham made it his business to remind the audience of pastors about the people God hates. “Whom does God hate?” you wonder.

Cowards.

And let’s be honest, cowards are easy to hate. People who fail to do the right thing because they’re afraid leave the rest of us vulnerable. Presented with the opportunity, you need to stop the tiger from eating our young. Confront the boss who threatens the livelihood of workers. Call out the condescending barista who crushes the soul of the thirsty masses. But let’s see where Franklin is going with this first.

for his racist past. But, by comparison the elder Graham looks like a saint. Franklin is a horrendous hypocrite and exploitative opportunist.
