Franklin Graham: Celebrating Pride Month is like 'setting a month aside to celebrate murder'

In a post to his Facebook page this Saturday, evangelist Franklin Graham lamented the fact that “Pride has gone mainstream,” saying that the entire month of June was “set aside to celebrate a lifestyle that God defines as sin.”

“It’s like setting a month aside to celebrate lying, adultery, or murder (which includes abortion), or anything else that God says is sin,” Graham wrote. “The Bible also tells us that God hates pride. Shame on the nation that celebrates and glorifies sin.”

How many churches and their clergy have been found guilty of it?

Way TOO many. Religion is POISON.

Looks like a lot of other fellow church goers want him gone too...

More than 16,000 Christians have signed a petition calling for evangelical leader Franklin Graham to be fired as the head of Samaritan's Purse and his father's namesake non-profit Billy Graham Evangelistic Association after he endorsed President Donald Trump's conspiracy theories that the election was "rigged or stolen."

Tebow from my IG feed. He apparently admires this guy, and spoke positively of him. He and his wife visited some museum there. I can't stomach this, so I just don't want to see anything that reminds me. I have admired Tebow for a long time, but he ain't Jesus, and even if Jesus associated with deplorables of his day, I don't think I have to put up with this. It is beyond any educational value. There is nothing there. It overwhelms anything positive that may have been.

When, oh when, are so-called Christians going to understand that following Jesus does NOT include exclusion of people that they just don't understand, and prefer to use to gin up hatred of others in order to make money? Got nothin positive to say? Think you know it all? Better than G-d, then? Pasty faced, weak pathetic little man...well, maybe in your hour of need, G-d will send you a raging, gay, out-and-proud individual who will sweep your cares away and save your sorry, mealy-mouthed ass. If you're lucky...

Raise your hands, now! How many people really think that G-d wrote such a hateful book?? I thought not. How many think that some old male guy wrote his own opinion and codified it in a book that gullible people back then could read and model from? Yeah...

When the millions of Christians who send money to Graham and his clones stop doing that, Graham and his clones will change their tune right quick. I'm not holding my breath. Graham's version of Christianity is extremely popular in this country.

And he likes doing it because he is a sociopath. His version of religion is a cancer.
