Graham is doddering around clinging to the last remnants of his fame and showing how he can still pal around with the rich and powerful. He's been seduced by it--not surprising--we all would be in those circumstance. It puts a sad period to his accomplishments.
If you happened to work in religious publishing, which I have, you'd get a closer look at showboating. If you hung around ERs in the Appalachians, you might even get a different picture of how people who think they're really important behave.
Celebrity does very bad things to people.
Now, please stick your righteous to your wall .
First:
I havent claimed one bit how "righteous" I am. Try another put down....one that relates to what I've said.
Second:
I can only speculate from your writings. You have not given me a clear reason why you would hate this man so much. Doddering, clinging, seduced, showboating...all characteristics you admit that you yourself would do in the same circumstance. And yet, instead of a forgiving/understanding heart you want to call people names. I think youre projecting your own bitterness onto him. A bitterness that you need to get on your knees and talk to God about. Its obviously causing you to dislike people for confusing reasons. Let it go, shake it off and ask for a refreshed heart.
Third:
Celebrity can do very bad things to people. But that does not make them bad just for being a celebrity. Tell me of the sins he's done, explain to me why I should think less of him. You did mention the people that he "pals around with"...thats not good enough. These are not his pals. These are people at high levels of governement that he has influence over. I'm thankful he has that access.
Fourth:
Who is your pastor? Whats your church like?
