Two years in the planning, and 27 million dollars in the making, the Billy Graham Library is slated to open to the public mid-June.
It’s called a library, but essentially it will serve as an ongoing evangelistic ministry, continuing Billy Graham’s sixty years of preaching the Gospel, according to the elder Graham’s minister son, Reverend Franklin Graham. Youngest brother Ned Graham, however, does not want his ailing parents buried there.
But according to author Patricia Cornwell in The Washington Post, ‘it’s not a library, it’s a large barn and silo’. More on this story from the Christian Post, and another from The Citizen-Times, which includes an eight-picture photo gallery.
let me help
Rev. Graham, February 28, 1972: “This [the Jewish] stranglehold has got to be broken or the country’s going down the drain,” Graham told the President in the Oval Office after a prayer breakfast. Graham also said that “they’re the ones putting out the pornographic stuff.”
I already have a slogan for it:
The Graham Library: Absolutely NO Torahs, Ever.
oh, wait …
The Graham Library: For, you know, “real” Americans.
Yeah, that’s the keeper.
Jew-hating Jesus-lovers. I love it. I just love it.
Anything you say should be held against you foreve
I agree with Chuck, anything you say should be held against you forever. I for one don’t want to live in a world that has forgiveness or allows people to express regrets for 30 year old comments.
Responsibility is the important thing. Graham needs to be always held responsible for what he said. For the children we must hold Graham responsible and never forgive.
Eine Keine Juden HaB
If a grown-ass man thinks it’s appropriate to talk to the President about a Jewish pornographer conspiracy, I’m willing to bet that belief is going to hang around for the duration.
People tend to change their opinions about beer, aftershave, baseball managers, TV shows, lawn mower brands. These are “haircut” beliefs and preferences.
The existence and nature of a Jewish conspiracy? That’s more of a tattoo.
Reformed anti-Semites and racists are like albino tigers. Yeah they exist, but I’ve never seen one. And neither have most people.
