TLC 9 Posted March 29, 2006 For a lifetime spent worshipping false idols, I predict Billy Graham will be eaten alive by the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Now that's a website that attracts some pointless ranters; they make a lot of the ones you get here seem pretty tame, which takes some doing. However, as the Flying Spaghetti monster is clearly a swipe at religion and Intelligent Design etc., I look forward to a veritable glut of eloquently constructed criticism from Billy Graham fanatics once he meets his maker. If of course you are one of the BG flock, this item is essential for your listening pleasure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bennett_Cerf 2 Posted May 19, 2006 Billy Graham plans to be part of July Festival. Oh that is indeed wonderful! I recall quite clearly the very first time that I heard The Reverand Doctor Graham speak. It was a very moving experience, although I must admit I never remitted any money to him or his ministries.

MyBrainHurts2 4 Posted May 20, 2006 Billy Graham plans to be part of July Festival. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's a viewing in July although there have been no new health developments. Nothing against the guy, I have to respect his more recent position on matters (although I'm 100% atheist). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RonPrice 0 Posted May 25, 2006 In anticipation, a quasi-eulogy to dear old Billy: ______________________________________ WHO IS PRAYING FOR WHOM? Since there is only one God and all prayers are answered with some combination of “yes”, “no” and “wait”, as one clever writer put it, one concludes that there is something which Baha’is call “God’s Plan” and which others might call “destiny”, or “determinism”, or “fate”. In this poem I make an unlikely connection drawing on this large-scale view. I was reading Graham’s autobiography published recently in 1997 and my mind was drawn to what for me is a humorous, serendipitous and, possibly, impossible connection between my life in the Baha’i community and the prayers of Dr. Billy Graham, world-famous evangelist. -Ron Price, Pioneering Over Three Epochs, Unpublished Manuscript, 1999. I became A Baha’i just after Billy Graham completed his Australian tour.* He returned to Australia twice, in 1968 and 1969, before I arrived in 1971 and started to refocus all the prayers Dr. Graham had raised up in his endless and genuinely inspired invocations. Did the scattering angels of the Almighty scatter abroad his words, too, and touch the hearts of righteous men?** I went pioneering on 1 September 1962 just after the final rally in Graham’s historic Chicago Crusade at Soldier Field where 116,000 gathered in one hundred degree plus heat.^ Was Graham praying for me? Ron Price 19 September 1999 * he completed his tour in June 1959; I became a Baha’i in October, while investigating this new religion during the early months of 1959. ** See the front page of Baha’i Prayers, USA, 1985. ^ See Billy Graham, Just As I Am: The Autobiography of Billy Graham, Harper-Collins Pub. Ltd., 1997, p.325 and p. 369. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted June 24, 2006 Naa, I just think God (if there is one) doesn't want the competition in Heaven just yet. That's also a possibility. I've been thinking about this: if I were God, I'd like a serious word with all my self-appointed ground staff about what they say I exactly like or not. Found a flier on my front door for Graham's appearance next month here in Baltimore. Tossed it. God, that reminds me of something I did when I was a student. Some evangelist put up his tent near our flat and a flier was posted with opening hours. Three house mates and I went there one evening. It was quite an amusing show, if you have the rigtht state of mind for it. After an hour of brimstone and fire a collection was held, in which amazing amounts were fleeced off the flock. When the collection plate passed us I nicked a few bills. Nobody noticed and we spent the loot on beer and billiards. I'm still not quite sure whether this was Good Thing or a Bad Thing, cosmically speaking. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted July 8, 2006 According to a line from this article, Billy Graham's speech tomorrow will be dependent on his health - might be worth keeping an eye out for what he looks like when (or if) he gives the speech. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to the article, 83,000 people over 3 days came to Camden Yards to hear The Graham Experience...that's more than the Baltimore Orioles have been bringing in for an average 3 game series this season.
