Franklin Graham names the REAL threat to the United States...

No Franklin, our country giving up the fairy tales is not a "threat" to the United States, worse than North Korea or ISIS.

It's a threat to *YOUR* cash flow.

So, you'll just have to keep your super-duper mansion and private luxury jet that might be smaller than the ones other TV evangelists begged for.

Secular people in America pose a greater threat than ‘North Korea and Islamic terrorists’: Franklin Graham

In a post to his Facebook page this Friday, evangelical leader Franklin Graham declared that when it comes to the real threats facing America, it’s not North Korea, Islamic terrorists, or other geopolitical dangers, it’s actually coming from “within,” namely the fact that America is becoming more and more secular.

“What is the most serious threat facing America as we come to a new year? Cyber attacks from China? North Korea’s nuclear capabilities? A new cold war with Russia? The ongoing fight against Islamic terrorists? All of these are very significant threats,” Graham wrote.

“However, the biggest threat to America is not from outside nations—it’s from within,” he continued. “The United States is the most blessed nation on earth. And that is because our forefathers gave us a foundation based on God and His Word.”

“The biggest threat to our country’s future is that we turn our back on God and have His hand of blessing removed.”

to grow his base of "customers" is naturally going to be a rabid anti-abortionist.

Actually, the forefathers gave us a foundation NOT based on "God and His Word" but on the SEPARATION of church and state. Did ya fergit that part, Frank?

Growing numbers of Americans are turning their backs on churches, and I imagine a big part of the reason is people like Franklin Graham. Millions of people in this country are suffering because of the politicians that Franklin Graham and his ilk support. Where is the hand of magical sky daddy in their lives? Flipping them the bird, I suppose.

there would be no religous test for holding any office in the U.S. and that church and state would be separate.

No they didn't.

This meme is one of the biggest bogus lies that they keep repeating.

They actually wanted the exact opposite of that. They wanted a secular government with a SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.

I don't know how more clear that can be.

16. Deep down, Graham and those like him must be non-believers.

How else could they behave the way they do if God knows everything. They're just con men and women who found a nice legal tax free scam. I'm a non-believer and I couldn't pull off this stuff.
