This is the guy who once errantly believed that our current great POTUS was born and raised a Muslim.LOL!!! I respect what Samaritan’s Purse does but please Mr. Graham, keep your fairy-tales to yourself.I really REALLY don’t want to meet your god,thanks!

What an Irony. He is doing exactly what he is blaming the media for.

UUHHMM???? If these events were the signal of the second coming, uuhhmm??? Wouldn’t that be like one of the biggest stories ever? There could be no way to under cover THAT story.

“religious celebrities” THIS KIND OF SAYS IT ALL! GRAHAM MUST GET A HUGE TAX BREAK!

His tax-exempt status allows for a very comfortable life.
He made his money and his career the old fashioned way–he inherited both.
Why anyone would listen to this clown is beyond me.
Seriously, would you let someone operate on you because “My father was a great doctor”?

I think he’s taking about the Jesus from the Big Lebowski.

This fraudster is a great example of why the tax laws need to be changed. I am totally fed up with these people spreading their BS on my dime.

So, this is how Jesus is going to make his comeback? Start off by killing thousands of people in the most cruel way possible and then make the ones who survived suffer the effects of radiation and homelessness and devestation. Really? This isn’t my Jesus. And my God doesn’t sit in a big chair in a cloud acting pissed off at everything all day. Graham, what is with you ?????

He should ask Trump where to go for a new rug. It looks like a muskrat died on his head.

The % of people who believe that Jesus will return in their lifetimes is truly scary. For as much as human knowledge has advanced, there sure have been a lot of people left behind.

This is the fifth largest earthquake in the last 60 years and Jesus didn’t come at any of the other four so why would he come now?

Well, I do “doubt” he will ever come because religions are all made up anyway (imho).

“but Bill O’Reilly was right in calling out the media for exaggerating the severity of the disaster in Japan.”

Frances, especially in consideration that the contextual framing for the above statement was conventional “earthquake and tsunami”, is it now the intent to leave out the critical information it was the NUCLEAR aspect of the story that was alleged to have been overblown?

This article and the entire meta-story is misleading in the extreme, perhaps because the counter-argument is insupportable. Nobody has yet died as a result of the SEVERAL Fukushima Daiich nuclear meltdowns; 20,000 people have died or are missing as a result of the “earthquake and tsunami.”

Get it right, or don’t try to cover it.

Or how about this. Even better, as a “media critique” site, perhaps it’s incumbent upon the contributors here to point out the OBVIOUS hyping of the nuclear situation at the expense of the larger story?

That depends on who you ask. The majority of Muslims would tell you that because his father was Muslim, he is a Muslim. People who study religion know these sorts of things.

You’ll be happy to know that they’re not on a penny of your dime. I have a dream that one days, people will understand the difference between assets and liabilities, and expenses versus revenues. The only way they get your money is if you give it to them.

Such simple minded people, too bad they ruin so many lives with their superstition and lies.

What do people who study religion say about people who are raised Southern Baptist calling other Christians “Muslim”?

Down here in the South, we just say “bless his heart, his momma raised him better”.

Now I have met Mr. Graham (one of my friends is a [well paid] senior admin in Samaritan’s Purse) but that was just wrongheaded of Mr. Graham to say that about Obama.

The comment about the second coming is akin to the NRA saying Obama is going to tax ammo….it does wonders for contributions.

Graham: “… you can sell newspapers and you can get your ratings up.”

Or you can sell fear and get your donations up from those trying to buy their way into heaven.

Nice racket, Godboy.

No Dipshit…what you meant to say was That depends on Who FOX NEWS ASKS…..how did you get to be so stupid????? and clearly YOU dont study religion….you need to just give it up, your bullshit is really getting sickening, everyday you sink to a whole new level of utter ignorance, perhaps you should go visit franklin graham, he can lay some healing hands on you………………dumbass

No, that’s not what I meant to say because I’m not a retard like your unemployable ass. I said what I meant to say.

Right. He should have called him a Marxist.

My best laugh of the day. The “second coming.” Don’t mention it to anyone, but I have on good authority
Jesus has booked a first class ticket on an airline, which shall remain nameless. The best post (all good, however) was the one about Jesus destroying a nation, radiation, etc. and then coming….

The man is a poor excuse for the father he was to replace. He never fails to disappoint. If a truly christian thought came out of this man’s mouth, I would be shocked. And there is not much left after the last two years that will shock me. Human behavior especially among the tpartiers and the republicans has just sunk real, real, low. There are anti christ’s all over the place. Look at the damage BECK, HANNITY AND O’REILLEY have done to the national psyche. And the MURDOGS at FOX are unmatched for the destruction they have caused to our democracy. Merchants were selling goods to the Kings troops in Philadelphia while George Washington and the patriots were suffering the winter at VALLEY FORGE. There is no better example about the lack of loyalty or duty that “business entities” have to a country. The cowards that hide behind the corporate shield are only concerned about the bottom line. Merchants will go where the money is and it does not matter where that market originates.

We can always count on the whack jobs of the religulous set to give credence to each other.

We are not seeing, repeat NOT, seeing the end of the world with the Japanese disaster. Religulous whack-jobs have been selling this snake oil for 2,000 years now, but the gullible and ignorant, pre-Enlightenment set keeps buying the nonsense even though it never comes about.

Let me quote Jefferson CORRECTLY since Glenn Beck ALWAYS gets this quote PURPOSELY wrong: “Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.”

That, boys and girls, is the drivers seat, not the back seat where Beck and his flock want to have reason sitting.

BTW, Beck’s lie: Jefferson never penned the phrase “honest questioning.” It’s just one of Beck’s many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many lies, and that’s just this year I’m talking about.

Franklin quuit listening to your own hype. You have always been a very low intellect preacher who struck it rich because of a famous father. You are clearly not a Christian but a Paulist who has done away with the love of Christ and substituted it for the judgemental appeal of a radical heathen.

I just waiting for some crazy minister to come out with some weird analogy on why god is mad at the Japanese. It just started raining today, I guess god was mad that I washed my car yesterday..lol

Japanese Disaster Could Signal Second Coming”

It’s going to be a LONG WAIT, Mr. Graham.

Think twice about what Graham is saying.
It’s not religious quackery.
The Newsmax interviewer does her best to “set him up” to give some wacko answers and he ignores her bait.
His responses are based on what he believes about the Bible and what it says about end times.
What do you expect from Newsmax but sensationalism?

These are good acts.
They may help mitigate to tone of the above article.

“Graham, son of beloved evangelist the Rev. Billy Graham, is spearheading the shipment of 90 tons of relief supplies to the hardest-hit area in northern Japan though The Samaritan’s Purse. The group is sending blankets, hygiene kits, and other necessities to be distributed through hundreds of Christian churches in Japan.”

Murphy wrote: “You are clearly not a Christian but a Paulist who has done away with the love of Christ and substituted it for the judgemental appeal of a radical heathen.”

Absolutely right, Murphy. This is a quote that might apply -

Independent thought is not welcome in the church for good reason: the emperor has no clothes, and people looking behind the velvet curtain is a problematic development for the power structure that feeds on ignorance.

The same power structure that is pushing a “second coming” that will never happen.

Mydogsgone wrote: “The group is sending blankets, hygiene kits, and other necessities to be distributed through hundreds of Christian churches in Japan.”

Mmm,hmm….. I wonder if they would be sending anything if no christian churches were involved? Or if the earthquake had occurred in a non-Christian country where prosyletizing was prohibited? Secular groups like the Red Cross are doing the same thing without that all important bottom line – CONVERSION.

Of course, you’re lying right here, GBR, since Beck frequently quotes Jefferson in full – as any casual viewer, not to mention anyone who watches the show enough to self-identify as a reviewer, well knows.

The Tokyo mayor already did.

Yet another reason why Christian evangelicals and conservatives are dumb.

The quote came from Newsmax.
You can google Samaritan’s Purse if you are interested in their methods.
At this point, I don’t think the Japanese are turning down charity from anyone.
I like the Red Cross as well. Charity is not a competition.

Came across the same type of thing on a religious website, but they were linking the Japan earthquake to an apparation. Theres a subject thats speculation at best. For these people, there was no rational thinking that it could be and was, the unpredictable plates that Japan sits on moving once again. Nor the fact Japan is situated in the pacific ring of fire, the most earthquake prone area there is.

I’m always amazed at the way some of these people are with their thinking. As in completely overboard. They get so fanatical about their belief that they end up losing track of reality. To them, if the bible says it is so, or the priest/pastor/minister/evangelist says it is so, it is so. No manner of proof could ever sway their minds.

Wars, rumors of wars and natural disasters have been going on ever since the day of Pentecost and will likely continue for many many years to come.

Good Lord man, the guy mentions that these SIGNS of the second coming, and most of you are flying off the handle. Crumb get a grip, the guy is just stating his belief that the World is going to come to an end, and if you don’t believe the World is going to end and there will be a judgment, I am curious to know your take on how you think it will all go down?

Franklin Graham is a compassionate and understanding guy and he and his Dad have done more good for this World than you or I put together, so chill out.

Um….maybe you should check your history regarding the Red Cross… crumb, next it will be that the Salvation Army is a Secular organization…
But really who gives a care Christian or Secular, they are GIVING where it’s needed and if you think they are just giving aid to the churches, than you really are an idiot. They are using the Churches as a conduit to give the aid out…
