Well, Franklin Graham is at it again, giving Jesus yet another face-palm moment and ensuring that everyone else thinks Christians are mean-spirited whiners.
Whats he done now? you ask.
Franklin Graham continues to beat the drum that suggests President Obama and his administration are under the sway of a cabal of Islamic Svengalis. He worries that "our foreign policy has a lot of influence now from Muslims." In particular, Graham views the Obama administrations less than enthusiastic reception of Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahus speech before congress as proof that Islam is exerting perilous influence on American foreign policy--apparently preferring to have perilous influence exerted on American foreign policy by someone more Christian, like Bibi Netan wait.
Graham sees this profligate tolerance of Islam as both telling and ominous: They hate Israel and they hate Christians, and so the storm is coming.

In that article he clarifies that he is the worst thing that has happened to God's reputation in a long time.

I guess everyone is capable of change, but in this case, I am highly pessimistic.

(42,641 posts)A little wry humor there.
I am confused. While a candidate, President Obama was accused of being a radical Christian, a follower of United Church of Christ Pastor Jeremiah Wright.
After the election he was accused of being a Muslim extremist.
Plus Svengali, no relation to Ben Ghazi by the way, was a fictional Jewish character.
So does that make President Obama a militant Christian, terroristic Muslim of Jewish origin?
Please explain this to me Franklin.

Then again, about 12 million americans believe in lizard people who are trying to dominate the world.

(42,641 posts)Polling shows that approximately 40% of Americans self-identify as conservative.
Studies show that approximately 40% of Americans are functionally illiterate.
Coincidence? I do not think so.
