Can anyone explain what is so 'Christ-like' in encouraging Nixon to bomb the dikes in Vietnam, an action that likely would have killed at least a million people?
I had nothing against the man personally, but Billy Graham was a private citizen and religious figure not a politician, so why is he being afforded a priviledge normally reserved for Presidents and National political leaders?
He lied all his life. To let him lie one last time in Washington is professional courtesy by the White House, no doubt.
Rosa Parks challenged authority used for the purposes of repression; too many Fundamentalists see that same repression as a tool used to develop their own power structure within a clique of closed minds; that is the essential difference between the two.

As an opponent of government solutions to our problems, Graham should not be in the central hall of the government. The National Cathedral would seem more appropriate.
Nothing wrong with it, and it has nothing to do with Separation of Church and State.
I doubt very seriously, if you and others would be singing this tune if, it were Louis Farrakhan, or an Ayatollah, or an Iman, or a Hindu leader, or the religious leader of any lesser known or accepted religion, laying in honor at the US Capitol.

Country was founded by Christians.

Others are welcome here, but they will follow the majority rule.
Don't like it?
Move.
Constitution is quite clear that our government is not to promote any one religion.
Yep. And I don't feel they're promoting a religion here. They're letting a dead man's body be viewed in the Rotunda.
