Why do you think God wouldn't make Trump president? It's consistent with a god that likes to fuck with people.

His dad, Billy, was actually a decent man. Billy Graham used to have multiracial congregations AFAIK and that used to piss off Franklin.

Billy's spinning in his grave because of how Franklin turned out.

My mother, Jewish, always cited Graham as an example of a brilliant man. When I was about nine years old, there was a broadcast of one of his 'crusades,' and I tuned in to see what could be gleaned from his brilliance. I subjected his every sentence to scrutiny, and it was an epiphany for me. I discovered critical thinking. The words he spoke were nonsense.

I went back to mom and informed her that Billy Graham was full of 'mindless babble.' (Not exactly those words.)

RW fundagelicals twisted God from a loving, forgiving dad into a sadistic, perverted monster. That says more about them than it does about God; in fact, the fundies are slandering him by judging him by themselves.

Trouble is, we fell for their pack of lies because they're convincing.

If this really is on God, then God is incompetent. Why do they worship an idiot?

Franklin went around during the campaign holding rallies and urging voters to vote for "whichever candidate" (wink wink) would appoint anti-choice Supreme Court justices. I hope this bribe and violation of tax laws will be investigated right along with the rest of Trump's high crimes, misdemeanors, and ethical violations.
