2. I thought I could scarcely have more disdain for Franklin Graham
than I did after his despicable comments at the Columbine Memorial years ago in Colorado. He seems to find limitless new sources of "disgusting" and new ways to promote hate and hateful propaganda...

I only wish the academicians who actually have studied multiple "great relgions" would be given more of a forum.

3. i believe that if hell does exist, people like that are going to find there is a reserved
spot right in front of the toasty fire.

4. I almost get the feeling that people like graham know that
religion is a myth and heaven and hell do not exist so they figure they
might as well prey on the fears of others so they can live the good life

5. strange, his father Billy Graham relatively mellowed over the years and almost started to
sound somewhat reasonable - that is reasonable in the context of someone within his kind of belief system - but his son is more reactionary then his father ever was
