Anti-LGBTQ activist Franklin Graham says he’s not homophobic, but he is calling LGBTQ activists “truthophobic” and “free-speech-ophobic.” Graham is once again blasting activists in the UK who have succeeded in getting venues in eight cities to ban him from spreading his hate speech.

The evangelical Christian preacher on Facebook says, “my eight-city evangelistic tour across the UK has been met with resistance by LGBTQ activists who inaccurately claim that I am homophobic, Islamophobic, and say that I speak hate. Anyone who knows me or has heard me speak knows that this really isn’t true—but, I DO preach the TRUTH of the Gospel.”

Using the Christian Bible to advance an agenda of hate is an old trick. The Bible has been used for centuries to advance racism, homophobia, and misogyny.

Franklin is like Trump. It is all about getting Daddy's approval, even from the grave. He knows he will never be loved as his daddy was and it is eating him up inside.

1. the bible is a haters training manual. he is delusional nt

[CatMor]

2. I don't know why his daddy was loved ...

in many ways he was as bad as his son.

3. I'm pretty sure Jesus never said shit about homosexuality...

that all came from Paul and the Old Testament, IIRC.

16. Most of the religious guys back then were celibate.

The Essenes, the Desert Fathers, the Daily Bathers, James, Christ's brother and his other brothers. They were just plain anti sexual intercourse.

Most of them were strict vegetarians because they were so anti intercourse and meat was the result of intercourse. They wore linen.

Some of those beliefs may have been a reaction to the ever present strict rule by Rome. The Romans were into a lot of kind of wild sexual stuff.

Those were different times. The thinking was different then. You just can't apply it to today. It doesn't work.

4. I'm curious as to how much revenue was lost from cancelled evangelical hate rallies--hope

..that sent a message to fake christians like Graham that hate doesn't pay!

[2naSalit]

5. I hope he lost his ass...nt

[dmr]

14. That's probably why he's upset.

This puts a huge damper on his grifting the faithful.

Using the bible to grift is sinful, too bad the faithful don't recognize that.

6. His dad was a publicity-hound

No matter who was in the Oval Office, Billy wanted to be seen as the President's Pastor. Truman had him pegged as a self-promoter right away after Graham made a big deal about praying on the White House Lawn and talking about his private meeting with the president and made him persona non grata at the White House.

7. "It's the gays' fault nobody wants to listen to my shizz"

[Goodheart]

8. Fuck you, daddy's boy. Why don't you get an original thought?

Daddy brainwashed him into loving some Jesus crap, so he spews Jesus crap. Daddy built a giant religion sham business, boy inherits and carries on the sham. What a life. Fuck off. Hey, St. Peter, does being born with a silver spoon in your mouth count for extra passage points? What am I babbling about?

[ooky]

9. He's not only homophobic, he's a fake christian.

He's a false christian teacher who told his flock it was okay for them as followers of Christ to follow Trump.

10. Preach the truth of the gospel

How about the part that tells you to stone to death a woman who commits adultery? That you can't eat shellfish or touch the skin of a pig? That you shall kill a son who strikes his father? That you can take slaves, but only from other countries?

Oh yeah, that is all Old Testament. How about the NT part that tells you to give all of your possessions to the poor?
HOW ABOUT THE PART TRUMP SAID HE DISAGREED WITH??? The part that says "Love your enemies"?

[spanone]

11. Hates not selling.

[lpbk2713]

12. People like him don't do much for the public image of Xianity.

He's a bible beating snake oil salesman.

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. Maybe the Trumpapalooza '20 tour will hire him as an opening act. nt

[50 Shades Of Blue]

15. Awwww. My heart is just rended.

[Skittles]

17. he preaches hatred

fuck him

[abqtommy]

18. Franklin, Franklin, I know you well and I hope that you go straight to hell.

[Initech]

19. Oh go eat shit, Franklin.

[Dem2theMax]

20. I like your way with words.

21. Which "truth" of which Gospel dude?

The information contained in the various different collections which are called "The Bible" come from oral tradition, written down decades after the initial telling of the stories, set aside in scrolls, many of which were lost. From that they had to be translated. What makes up the "Bible" is different in different sects of Christianity with words put in or omitted that changes the meaning depending on whether you are Catholic, Orthodox, or which denomination of Protestant you are.

It is always funny when idiots talk about "the truth" of a book that has been changed around so much, which people can't even agree upon which is the "real" version of the book.
