Franklin Graham: America glorifying sin
La Salette Journey ^ | December 12, 2014 | Paul Melanson

Writing for the Christian Post, Melissa Barnhart notes that, "The Rev. Franklin Graham, president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritans Purse, says the government's attacks against Christianity and bans on traditional Christmas themes while society glorifies sin is 'like little children shaking their fist at Almighty God.'

'What's happening is we're glorifying sin, we're lifting up sin. And it's like little children shaking their fist at Almighty God,' Graham told Fox News host Megyn Kelly during a Wednesday segment of 'The Kelly File.'

Speaking about atheists and secularists' actions to ban celebrations of Christmas in schools and government buildings, Kelly commented on American Atheists' 'skip church' billboard ad campaign, which The Christian Post has reported on. She also cited the city of Pittsburg's previous plan to rename the Christmas holidays 'sparkle days' and the ban on poinsettias at a Minnesota court house, among others.

Unfortunately, Mr. Graham is precisely correct.

What's happening is we're glorifying sin, we're lifting up sin

In 1973, our Supreme (Hah!) Court glorified murder, lifted up murder as a constitutional right.

And we didn't tar and feather the bastards.

Graham gives tacit approval to sin by appearing on Kelly’s show and saying nothing about her pro homosexual advocacy.

I’d like to know the significance, myself.

No offense to Rev. Graham, but where has he been the past 25 years?

I gave up listening to top 40 songs a long time ago.

I read the lyrics. How in the world did something like that get to be number 2? I did not hear it. Perhaps it is a catchy tune and no one listens to the words?

Is it possible people are not getting the lyrics?
