Can't believe anyone would follow Franklin Graham, he is half the man his father was.

Quote:
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."

Graham said in December that he believed Trump when he said that the election was "rigged or stolen." Graham later tweeted his support for Republican lawmakers planning to object to the certification of President-elect Joe Biden's win in multiple battleground states. The petition argues that Graham's support of Trump's false claims helped to incite the mob of the president's rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol while Congress convened to count the Electoral Votes on January 6.

"As long as Samaritan's Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association stand by Franklin Graham, it must be said that these once-vaunted organizations have forgotten their original Christian missions, abandoned the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and are complicit in the spread of dishonest, discredited election conspiracy theories and the deadly, unpatriotic, white-nationalist terrorism at the U.S. Capitol incited by those lies," the petition launched by Faithful America says.

My family used to actively participate in operation shoebox annually. We quit a few years ago when it became apparent Franklin wanted to push his father's legacy further into the political arena. Now it's just a dumpster fire.

Franklin Graham is no Billy.

Franklin Graham is a political commentator first, not a preacher first.

Are these the same “Christians” whose churches benefited financially by harboring illegal alien criminals during the Obama doldrums? Just curious.

I think those were mainly catholic and methodist churches.

That's for damn sure.
Billy Graham use to speak the truth, he didn't mince words

I mean more that he was friendly to both parties and less a pure GOP party guy.
