To: a fool in paradise

Follow the money. From the Billy Grahams to the Schullers, its all about dropping $$s into the family bank. These religious hucksters range from the benign to the bizzare aka Rev. Jim Jones and Rev. Wright. The curse of the Reformation!

I think that Graham at least brought challenge to the changing mores in the 1960s and 70s and offered his ear and advice to US presidents (even if not always his support). With Barack Obama in the White House (a man who has boasted of his “healthy skepticism of organized religion”), he saw no need to bring his message to not only deaf but hostile ears.

“The curse of the Reformation!”

Right, because before the Reformation, priests never pocketed money from the collection plate, or tried to pass church property down to their children. /sarc

Can you provide a link to information showing that Billy Graham is a huckster who lined his pockets?

Leave Billy Graham out of that mix.
