Franklin Graham denounces the jury award in the E Jean Carroll case

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/01/franklin-graham-denounces-jury-award-in.html

Calling it more "liberal persecution," evangelist Franklin Graham has taken sides again with Trump. This is an open demonstration of just how worldly, out of theological balance, and heretical Evangelicals have become, and Graham is at the top of the list of apostates.

He's been blinded by the same Satanic delusion as millions of other so-called Christians who seem unable or unwilling to acknowledge the anti-Christian nature of the MAGA cult and Trump. I wonder, if his financial records would reveal just how much money Trump has paid to buy him. Then again, Trump brags about giving a lot, and actually gives nothing. Graham's ministries appear to be suffering from the same kind of decline that almost all of Evangelical Christianity is now experiencing. So he has to stay in good graces with Trumpies in order to keep the dollars rolling in.

The MAGA cult, which obviously includes Graham, owns Trump's worldliness. That's their thing, they glory in it, worship it and give it their loyalty. God and Jesus Christ, they've thrown under the bus. They admit openly that God does nothing for them and they think Trump does. According to them, Jesus is a liberal. I think that pretty much characterizes the whole, lame enterprise. Graham is sticking to Trump, because his fortune rests on it, collecting money as he does from the MAGA cult. He may be the son of Billy Graham but his political involvement denies everything his father stood for. He's abandoned that to support a demagogue.

Maybe it wasn't as guilded, or as obvious, but it was just as corrupt.

Let's not whitewash the past. It just wasn't as good at grifting as they are in the present day.

who has tried to take on his father’s mantle, because it was expected of him, without really believing in the cause. In that sense he’s like Falwell Jr who was far more interested in real estate than Christianity.

Is guilty of something similar. A lot of men don’t even think it’s a crime. I really admire E. Jean for persisting. It’s the only way to get these assholes to behave. Just imagine, he was found liable for the very thing he bragged about. And all they wanna do is whine and complain. I guess they don’t like Jesus because he never raped anyone

Guess Trump's charitable giving is over for a while.

10. Franklin believes Trump's groping of women is just God's will, the biblical "laying on of hands."
