Evangelist Franklin Graham dodged questions about President Obama’s religious faith in a morning show interview on Tuesday, saying he couldn't know for sure whether Obama was a Christian.(msnbc)
Graham, the son of famed evangelist Billy Graham and CEO of Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the heir apparent to become America’s numero uno Evangelical Holy Man. Graham senior a self proclaimed servant of God once said:
(“This stranglehold has got to be broken or the country's going down the drain," the nation's best-known preacher declared as he agreed with a stream of bigoted Nixon comments about Jews and their perceived influence in American life. "You believe that?" says Nixon after the "stranglehold" comment. "Yes, sir," says Graham.) (Chicago Tribune Internet)
On MSNBC today Franklin Graham said"I cannot answer [whether someone is a Christian] for anybody," Graham said. "All I know is I'm a sinner, and God has forgiven me of my sins because I put my faith and trust in Jesus Christ.” However when asked if Graham thought Rick Santorum or New Gingrich were true Christians, he added of course they are they have said so. Graham can not answer for anybody except if that anybody is a Democrat president of the United States.
Today another Crusader for Christ has made it clear that his Lord and Savior plays politics, hates the blacks when they are in power and overlooks the comments of bigots, homophobes, liars, and adulterers. Today a man of some chintzy cloth, worthless morals and absolutely no conscience decided to to jump on the God bandwagon and use God’s name in vein. Today a mere mortal who assumes because he is a sinner, he has God’s ear,and has used God’s voice to spew hate, venom and vile. Today, once again the war against religion has been waved by, once again a charlatan who has disdain for difference and the disillusion of grandeur for self. Once again one more false prophet has stepped to the fore insisting that he and only he know what and who is a good and true Christian.
There is a war not on religion as Romney, Gingrich, Santorum and their Republican/Tea Party cronies state but a war on anyone’e version of religion if it is not as they state its definition. Now a high and mighty pompous closer to God then thou has stepped up the battle and in doing so seems to be walking closer to hell and further from God.
