On ABC now - Billy Grahm special

[OhioBlue]

I had the TV on in the other room, heard the show and thought the Christian Network must have been on.... But, it was ABC - spreading the Evangelical Christian message. I haven't really paid attention before - maybe these specials are normal, but it kinda threw me - at first it had the sound of a documentary. I'm thinking it must be a paid infomercial type of thing????? Not cheap for Prime Time I would imagine. Anyway, maybe it's just because of the day and I actually did watch part of the coronation and feel pissed - but it just struck me the wrong way. Any thoughts?

On edit:
Ozzy's daughter and the girl from Dawson's Creek are there too!

When it was on earlier I heard a guy saying

that if he had a cure for cancer he would shout it in the streets and if he had the cure for AIDS he would also shout it in the streets otherwise it would be criminal. He used this to set the stage for his preaching and spreading the word - that if he didn't try to "save" everyone's eternal souls from damnation it would be criminal (I've paraphrased - but that was his message)

My feelings are that comparing a cure for a deadly disease to a religious opinion are very different - and it is this kind of logic that tends to get under my skin.

2. Billy's made a very fine living fleecing the flock................

he lives very high on the hog for a man of the cloth. Another bullshitter in a sea of bullshitters. This one's just a little nicer and more down to earth than the rest of the bullshitters, but that doesn't change what he is.

3. Why is that allowed on public airwaves?

This country is going to be completely ruined by four more years of that idiot. Has he no shame?
