Evangelist Franklin Graham used the recent deaths of George Michael, Carrie Fisher and "Watership Down" author Richard Adams on Dec. 27 in an effort to convert people to Christianity.

In a post on Facebook, Graham questioned whether these three celebrities, who died less than a week ago, had accepted Christianity before their deaths:

This week pop icon George Michael passed away at age 53, Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher died at 60, and award winning Watership Down author Richard Adams died at the age of 96. From the unknown to the most well-known, we all have something in common -- death. Our time on earth is brief -- the Bible says like "a vapor."

And each of us will stand before Almighty God to give an account. The decision that will determine where we spend eternity is whether we have believed in His Son, Jesus Christ, trusting Him as our Savior and following Him as Lord. There are no VIP passes or exceptions. Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).

2. FFS what a jerk

I had a boss like that once. When a beloved member of our staff passed away after a three year battle with brain cancer, the boss came back to the office after the memorial wondering out loud if poor Pete had been saved from an eternity in hell.
