That’s the news. But the post won’t be directly about Billy Graham. Oh no. It will be about the reaction, by the Left, of Graham’s passing.
And this is one amongst a number of major reasons why we’re seeing the corruption of our society. By Leftists, Demorats and the American Media Maggots. Let there be no mistake about it.
First this, from the Washington Post which bleats that “Democracy dies in darkness.” Perhaps George Will dies in darkness as this is the best he could pull out of his nether regions for the passing of Reverend Graham.
Billy Graham was no prophet
by George Will
Asked in 1972 if he believed in miracles, Billy Graham answered: Yes, Jesus performed some, and there are many “miracles around us today, including television and airplanes.” Graham was no theologian.
Neither was he a prophet. Jesus said “a prophet hath no honor in his own country.” Prophets take adversarial stances toward their times, as did the 20th century’s two greatest religious leaders, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Pope John Paul II. Graham did not. Partly for that reason, his country showered him with honors.
Graham’s effects are impossible to quantify. His audiences were exhorted to make a “decision” for Christ, but a moment of volition might be (in theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s phrase) an exercise in “cheap grace.” Graham’s preaching, to large rallies and broadcast audiences, gave comfort to many people and probably improved some.
“Cheap grace.” It’s Will’s summary, essentially, of Graham’s work. That really is the best he can do. Read the rest of the article if you wish to waste time.
Frankly, I would rather George Will have saved much paper and just written a single word about Billy Graham: “meh.”
Those are his true thoughts. Let’s be honest.
Better yet, I would have preferred Will’s complete silence. His days of being “conservative” are long over. Whatever value he once proffered has evaporated. George Will means as much to conservatism as does a fish to a bicycle.
Then we transition over to a true Leftist who praised Graham’s death. I am including the actual Tweets in case you think I’m making this up. I am not. There are people this coarse and evil who are writing things that people read and take to heart.
And you ask yourself “how did we get to Parkland?” Question, meet answer:
Teen Vogue Contributor Goes Off the Rails in Disturbing Attack on Billy Graham: “Have Fun in Hell”
by Benjamin Arie
Liberals are more tolerant, inclusive, and caring than the rest of the world — just ask them. That “tolerance” was on full display Wednesday, when an outspoken feminist and “Teen Vogue” columnist used the death of renowned Christian pastor Billy Graham to spread hatred.
Lauren Duca, a columnist with a verified Twitter account and nearly half a million followers on that social media platform, posted the vile message just hours after news stations reported Graham had passed away at age 99.
Apparently one of the most well-respected Christian leaders of the last century is going to hell, because a leftist feminist said so.
She doubled-down on that nasty sentiment in a follow up tweet.
That’s what Leftists think of a man of God.
Do the math.
