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.

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.

Will’s fellow atheists must take great comfort in his repudiation of Billy Graham’s evangelising, I guess. To me, Will sounds like a bitter fool.

For Will to contrast Graham's popularity with that of King and Pope John Paul II is patently ridiculous.

As the critique of Will's article notes, King is the only American to have his very own national holiday. But he was favorably regarded by many Americans during his own lifetime as well. King's popularity may not have been as widespread as Graham's, but only because King strongly took sides in what were a contentious, secular political issues of the day. And not just civil rights and integration -- which were arguably moral issues -- but also Vietnam, nuclear disarmament, foreign policy, and the expansion of the welfare state.

Karol Józef Wojtyła was so popular in the Roman Catholic Church during his lifetime that the Papal Conclave of cardinal bishops made him Pope John Paul II. Globally, Pope John Paul II was far more popular the Graham could ever hope to be. And not just among Catholics.

George Will has become a cranky old man. I don’t pay much attention to him anymore.

Two hundred years or more from now, Graham's simple message of God's love, coupled with the compelling refrains of the invitation to repent and come "Just As I Am. . . ." to accept that condition personally, will be remembered as resulting in the conversion of millions, one by one, to a new way of living their lives and interacting with their families and neighbors.

Two hundred years from now, by little footnotes to nonsensical records of baseball history, George Will may have his place on a page.

Which might be considered more consequential?

George Will thought Rev. Graham should have been more political...? Billy Graham had one party, God The Father.

Thankfully, we are not all going to the same place when we die.
