http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/franklin-graham-god-may-smite-obama-lightning-gay-marriage-punishmentOn his Facebook page yesterday, Graham wrote that the White Houses decision to celebrate LGBT Pride month and the Supreme Courts marriage equality decision with rainbow colors may incite a lightning strike from an angry God.
Graham previously warned that Obamas support for marriage equality is ushering in the End Times:
Is this worthy of a visit from Agent Mike?

I may not have agreed with Billy Graham, but I respected him. His son is worthless imo.

(51,308 posts)I never liked him.
The worst thing is that Ruth, Billy's wife, wanted to be buried on their mountain up there where she lived.
That asshat had her buried here in Charlotte at the Billy Graham library.
I think disrespecting someone's (his own mother for chrissake!) deathbed wishes is beyond contempt. Beyond everything. I don't even have a word for it.
The Billy Graham library is on the Billy Graham Parkway, which leads to our airport. He wanted her there for publicity, tourism, whatever....just despicable.

(35,699 posts)He had to be talked into it. I wonder how much Franklin had to do with that? His mother Ruth did not want to be part of a "tourist attraction" (her words). It is a damn disgrace. I guess Franklin forgot that little fifth commandment (or 4th, depending on which version of the Bible) about "honoring thy father and thy mother." There is actually a store at the library called "Ruth's Attic" which sells Billy Graham Library key chains, pen sets, etc.

Billy is still alive, but without his marbles I reckon. Very, very sad.
He could have carried on his father's legacy in such a different way.

(135,844 posts)son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama -
long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the
eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be
any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.
