Franklin Graham: God May Smite Obama With Lightning In Gay Marriage Punishment

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/franklin-graham-god-may-smite-obama-lightning-gay-marriage-punishment

Franklin Graham has a warning for President Obama: Watch out for God’s wrath!

On his Facebook page yesterday, Graham wrote that the White House’s decision to celebrate LGBT Pride month and the Supreme Court’s marriage equality decision with rainbow colors may incite a lightning strike from an angry God.

Graham previously warned that Obama’s support for marriage equality is ushering in the End Times:




Is this worthy of a visit from Agent Mike?

and now we got this guy who seems to be even worse.

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

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.

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.

I'm a native Charlotte girl, but never been there. Do you live here in CLT?

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.

I bet Graham is collecting even more money now than before the ruling.

A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth

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.

In 1977, Roberts said he had a vision of a 900-foot-tall Jesus, who told him to found the City of Faith Medical and Research Center. The biography said the center was aimed at "merging the healing power of medicine and prayer."



I am familiar with the other as well.

And it doesn't seem to me that God is coming before money in these big megachurches. So, what about those places being smited?
