Billy Graham has been under attack from various Christian groups for a very long time. My sister in law belonged to a church that considered him a candidate for Antichrist because he was friendly with Catholics. Not kidding.
What I’m not sure you understand is that for some of us older folks who were raised as very conservative Christians before there was a Limbaugh, even before Falwell launched his Moral Majority, this idea that we would ever be asked to support what we regard as an agent of Satan for president, because the other guy is worse, well, we didn’t think it would happen in our lifetime. Perhaps a dispensational influence, but I think many of us thought the rapture would happen before we were ever pushed into this dilemma.
So I realize this is hard for you to grasp, but you have to know its hard for us too. The dissenters here do not work for or want Obama to win. But for many Christians, particularly older Christians raised as I was, voting for one antichrist to get rid of another antichrist is an impossible to solve problem. We love our country as much as anyone does, and we have the history to prove it. But how will we fare as a country if we openly reject the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in favor of the Gnostic pantheon of Mormonism? How can God bless us if we spit in his face? We are already in trouble for our wickedness, and we hope to solve it by adding to it? I don’t get that. Call me a product of an earlier time, a relic of the past, but for me, this is a bridge too far. I can only appeal to the mercy of God. It’s all we really have left.
Peace,

Nicely stated and explained - thanks.
In this country we can support a candidate who is not of the same faith as us as long as he is a good man and pledges to uphold the constitution. Mitt Romney is not the one who is attacking Christianity at every turn. Mitt Romney is certainly not the Antichrist. I do not believe that your arguments are sincere. Obama most likely would not have one the first time around if many Conservative Christians were not victims of the same type of discourage the vote type of campaign that you are advocating.
Too many people have died trying to preserve the precious gift God gave us. Those of us who live free in this country owe it to those before us and our children and grandchildren and their grandchildren to preserve what we have been given. I am highly offended by your efforts to help Obama. You and a bunch of the others here could not be more irresponsible and I am ashamed of you. No matter how you sugar coat it... you are shirking your responsibility as an American and I curse your evil intent.
We broke it on ourselves...
But...
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,
then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.
Sorry, but no excuse is needed.
A youngster in Christ, after reading the Book, and then studying the claims of MORMONism, would be able to see that it is a heresy.
Ya don't need to be a Genius or a Geezer to figger THAT out!
