Conservative Christians and their very small and insignificant god

[ck4829]

Evangelist Franklin Graham opened his speech at Southeastern University on Wednesday by saying he isn't good at being politically correct.

But he later said that Christian leaders shouldn't worry about being politically correct or offending others when it comes to espousing their beliefs.

Graham criticized the idea that churches and religious organizations should alter their message to appeal to the changing values of contemporary society. Saying society has become too tolerant of sin, Graham condemned adultery, gay marriage and abortion.

"God is going to judge. He's warning us," Graham said.

We've got:
Families locked into cycles of debt
Increasing poverty
Homelessness
People killing each other in their god's name
Kids going to bed hungry

But God's getting angry over what people do in their bedrooms?

These leaders are mad that young people are leaving the faith in droves, and it's because of this, but they'll keep blaming the liberals and the atheists, right?

2. They believe in God like Magicians believe in magic.

God is a business that keeps them well fed and out of real work for their living.
If they really believed in Jesus they would do what he said.

3. Funny how the fundamentalists' god worries about the same petty crap they do.

4. I'm not good at being politically correct either.

the religious "right" has been wrong on EVERY ISSUE in this nation since slavery.

Graham's family has made millions off the stupidity of people in this nation - off their fear. what a worthless piece of shit - he should be ashamed to take money from poor people by selling snake oil bullshit about religion.

he's no better than Elmer Gantry - and just as fake.
