I don't have anything good or bad to say about Billy Graham. He was a human being like the rest of us. I'm sure he had his good and bad points. If he advised so many presidents, I'm guessing he was doing something right. Haters is a strong word for people looking for truth. What president showed himself to be "good" as a person ?

Can't blame that on Billy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He faced America's greatest crisis and came out on the right side of history. Very hard to judge a man who lived in a culture very different than today, without experiencing it first hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
