Your post reminded me of the documentary film and the preacher named “Marjoe”, who betrayed the tent show/store front racket, way back in the 1970s, a preacher since childhood, like presumably Franklin Graham today. Needless to say, the film was denounced as anti-Christian propaganda.
It also reminded me of street corner preachers who’d visit the university campus nearby waving their Bibles, condemning the students to hell, and in return be subjected to constant mocking and ridicule, but returning there day after day, and converting no one. And when some students or local hippies engaged them in debates, they, the hippies, would make more sense than these holy men, which isn’t much different from the debates here where one side can only cut and paste long excerpts from the Scripture and disregard the 2,000 years or meditation and theology, and spit on Joseph Ratzinger and his life’s work, as if he were some high school kid promoting a science fiction novel he wrote.
and disregard the 2,000 years or meditation and theology (better known as human philosophy)...
I don't disagree with that...

Hippies generally do make more sense to the world, the unsaved than bible Christians do...
You old hippies are what we and Jesus are up against...
