No see, thats not good enough for Red Pondscum... he wants to turn a good man into a joke because he is an atheist piece of shit that simply cannot keep his mouth shut
His hate runs too deep, it wont allow him to simply avoid conflict... he wants to fight about it |

Growing up a televised Billy Graham Crusade was a family night in front of the TV. Dad always teased Mom "So that takes care of next Sunday right?" It didnt ever, he was a good man whatever the negative Nancy's and Ned's say. The door to the pearly gates were open waiting for him even before the line went flat. Reverend Graham was a great man and true to his faith. RIP Billy you did your Lord proud.

Publishing companies? He authored several best sellers and the income from that would have been taxable.

“People who didn’t like Billy Graham spent a lot of time trying to find personal violations of his moral and ethical code, and they couldn’t,” Wacker told NPR after Graham’s passing. “They didn’t exist. He was a man who maintained absolute marital fidelity and moral and financial integrity. He was an evangelist who lived the way he preached.” https://www.celebritynetworth.com/ri...ham-net-worth/ "In 1950 he founded the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Within a few years the civil rights movement began to sweep the nation. Billy, who had never really thought much about the plight of African Americans was instantly inspired to help the cause. He began refusing to speak or appear at events that were segregated. He joined the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955 where he met and befriended Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1957, Billy invited Dr. King to join him during a 16 week Christian event held at New York City's Madison Square Garden. This 16 week event attracted more than 2.3 million visitors from around the country and helped propel Dr. King and the Civil Rights movement into the mainstream conscience. Billy personally posted bail for Dr. King on several occasions after the MLK had been arrested during demonstrations." There's more info at both links, if you're really interested. |

I don’t hate Christians. I was raised in a Christian family. I’ve just always questioned things, which is why I’m the only person in my family to break away from Christianity. I don’t see how it’s out of line to ask how a televangelist makes that much money. I think religion should be a personal thing between me and my creator. Seeing people profit off peoples fear of the unknown just rubs me the wrong way.
