For Franklin Graham to defend this piece of shit is interesting. Yet, Obama was the devil, the evil one.

I was listening to the segment as I was styling my hair. What else would he have to say about how great Trump is? Trump wants everybody to kiss his ass and build him up.

I had to mute it. Why didn't she (really) challenge him? He hates Obama because his church was audited? Does that mean he assumes the church won't get audited now that his buddy is in the White House? And he talked about the stock market? About it never having gone up that much in a first year presidency since FDR? It actually went up more (% wise) in Obama's first term than in Trumps. Can't watch Alex Witt any more. Just waiting for some Joy.

According to Christian theology Trump is forgiven for his sins but he has to admit to them first and ask for it.

Hey, Lucky Sperm Franklin: F*ck You. If you don’t know what that means, it won’t offend you. If you do, then you are a sinner and a hypocrite.

excuse. Trump has never claimed to be "born again". This takes him out of the evangelical version of "saved". He claims to be Presbyterian and attends sometimes an Episcopal church. Neither of these is evangelical. Both Cheeto and Graham are liars.

antinomian heresy. They say, "Oh, I'm saved by grace no matter what, so I can go be a dirtbag all through my life. I can hurt people, steal, lie and cheat. I can actually work to undermine society to hasten the apocalypse and I'm STILL saved by grace! I'm going to heaven, so fuck you!"

This is the problem and this is why they are so dangerous. They are willing to destroy everything we have, pull apart everything that makes life worth living, just to promote their peculiar agenda.

They have forgotten how to be Christians and have forgotten how to be Americans.

Their movement has become like the chewing gum you'd scrape off your shoe.

I heard that white evangelicals voted overwhelmingly for Trump, while black evangelicals voted overwhelmingly for Hillary. This has nothing to do with evangelicalism or religious faith. It has everything to do with RACE.

And so, Franklin claims that his organization was targeted and penalized by Obama's IRS - probably because Obama was black.

It's an interesting thing here in Albququerque, NM where I live. On one side of town, you can drive through the parking lot of a conservative evangelical church, and I can guarantee you that you won't find a single Democratic bumper sticker. Then, go over to the parking lot of the Unitarian Church on the other side of town during a church service, and I guarantee you that you won't be able to find a single Republican bumper sticker!

Funny how that works!

Going to believe the story.

Graham is part of the problem with people: if they didntsee or if the person doesn't admit it, in spite of tons of evidence, they wontbeloeve it. Denial.

Reminds me of what the sister of the Mom of the Perris 'house of horrors' said earlier this week. She said she thought the abuse of her nieces and nephews was a shame, but she was nonetheless 'real proud' of her sister for gettin' saved.
