George Will sounds like some sort of atheist.

And conservatives are not atheists.

Amen

George Will is a self aggrandizing elitist globalist. Who knows the last time he read a Bible or talked to Jesus?

“Despite repeated requests by Graham, Niebuhr refused to meet with him. So Graham simply complimented Niebuhr and explained away their differences. ‘I have read nearly everything Mr. Niebuhr has written and I feel inadequate before his brilliant mind and learning,’ Graham told reporters. ‘Occasionally I get a glimmer of what he is talking about. . . . If I tried to preach as he writes, people would be so bewildered they would walk out.’”

Indeed, a soft answer turneth away wrath.

George Will and the homos celebrated Billy Graham's death?

Hah, little do they know.

Yes, there was plenty to celebrate:

His master said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master."

Rev. Graham did what he was called to do, bring people to Jesus. He never shied away when asked directly about morality, and he led by example.

The link in article to Graham and Jews seemed to be Graham sorting out the religious Jews from their secularized Jews in name only peers who have often 3been a negative force in America just as have most secularists.

You might want to rethink that.

According to a recent Pew Forum survey, 19 percent of conservatives are unaffiliated with any particular religion, and 14 percent of atheists identify as conservative.

Yes. Nobody’s perfect. But graham helped a lot of people. Far more than George Will (or me) and when someone passes on, I like to remember their good points. I don’t appreciate critical essays very much at this time. It just doesn’t seem cricket. Excepting for seriously evil Satanic basturds like Hitler or abbas

61 years after 1957, hardly anyone knows or cares who Reinhold Niebuhr was, but Billy Graham is beloved by and influential for countless millions of people.

Did Billy Graham call himself a prophet?

George Will is a jackass. He talks trash about Billy after he has passed.

Well George, I will talk about you now.

You lost, go kill yourself.
