17. The devil dwells in his heart, perhaps ?
This man makes his living polluting innocent minds with his hatred and lies.

22. someone needs to play Poker with this idiot - I don't think I've seen a worse poker face in my life


Isn't it true that God hates it when you don't tell the truth when asked a direct question?

Why doesn't Graham answer the questions, hmmmmm??

2. And Franklin Graham's problem is that he was born an idiot
If Obama was born anything, it was atheist since both his parents were reported to be unbelievers.

3. Two wars and a SHIT economy, and people keep flogging this stuff.
Edited on Fri Aug-20-10 01:28 PM by Amerigo Vespucci
I'm one of those Christians who's broken ranks...I am "supposed to" care about "The Great Commission," about signing everyone I can up for the "team," but I don't. I believe what I believe and am not really open to what others "want me to believe," and by the same token, I NEVER push my beliefs on others.

Let's get the fuck out of Iraq and Afghanistan and PUT PEOPLE BACK TO WORK. Then we can dick around with what Obama "believes."

:patriot:

23. I broke rank after 30 years of religious indoctrination in a
Christian church. Even as a child I felt there was something unreal about what I was being taught. By the time I was 30 I had pretty well doped it out through searching for something that was akin to the truth. Concluded that Jesus was an unusual man whose spiritual life was edited by charlatans who have used it throughout the centuries for political power and control. Other than that, yes, lets get down to brass tacks and get to work improving our future. The second coming is long past due so it is up to us to take care of our world.

4. I watched this last night,
and almost fell of the treadmill. Obama is a Muslim because his father was, and American Muslims aren't truly Muslims because they don't follow Sharia law??? But American Christians don't believe in slavery or the like that can be found in the Bible, so are they truly Christians?? Who can follow such a thought process?

I am deeply saddened and disturbed by what he is preaching here -- hatred of a religion. We have no hope whatsoever of peace or understanding or respect if our religious leaders can't do better than this.

Franklin Graham - you would make Jesus weep.

18. Harry Truman said that most strife, wars and worldly ills stem
from religion. He is right. Graham is a prime example of a religious agitator, contrary to the basic principles of Christianity. He is not leading people to the path of righteousness but giving Christianity a bad name in Christ's name. I don't have faith in the second coming of Christ but I wish he'd come on down.

9. MSNBC, CNN and Fox are all trying to give this story traction
Having Graham on to say that Obama "denied the prophet Mohammed" is kind of like saying "I took my umbrella to work today because even though I knew it wasn't going to rain I didn't want to get wet."

Who CARES what Obama believes as long as he is doing his job?

12. I am SSOOO F-ING GLAD!
That I said he and his senile sperm donor (Dad) are 2 of the biggest assholes we've seen in a long time. I listen sometimes to this asshole misapply bible verses ad nauseum and just shake my head in wonder over how stupid these right wing religionist jackasses really are!

13. And another right winger breaks out the Islam=Nazi meme...
I bet if we polled Fox viewers, we'd find that over 90% of them (I'm being generous- my money's on 99%) "know" that it's a mosque and not a community center.

15. Warning to sperm banks....
Be on the look out for huge percentages of Muslims donating sperm!
Perhaps that could be their secret plan to turn our Christian nation into a a Muslim one.

16. Franklin Graham is some kind of a preacher. He claims the only
way you can become a Christian is through confession,asking forgivesness etc. I guess baptism is meaningless. I thought Graham is a Baptist. So should Obama have to prove now that he is a Christian? I assume, perhaps, that somewhere along the line Obama was baptised. That would be easy enough to prove. I have known people who claim to be Christians who have never even been baptised.
Jesus, this sort of religious political posturizing is getting damn tiring. Jesus Christ !

20. Franklin Graham's
problem is that he was born an idiot and has no problem bearing false witness against another.

21. What counts for me is whether a person is a good human being.
Edited on Fri Aug-20-10 05:14 PM by BlueMTexpat
What counts for me in a President - or any other elected official for that matter - is whether that President is a good human being who is intelligent, competent and willing to learn from her/his mistakes so that s/he can do the job that s/he was elected to do.

A person's choice of religion - or lack or it - should not even enter into the equation.

A "Christian" like Franklin Graham is not a good human being, IMHO.
