World Net Daily's interpretation of the Bible should always be taken with a grain of salt...

Billy Graham was a treasured icon, but the likes of Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson I am sure would have left them dumbstruck as to how they could ever claim the moniker 'christian'. My experience was that the vast majority of those Christians I knew lived their lives honestly and faithful to Jesus' teachings, who would in no case *ever* consider torture, assassination or pre-emptive war as an option - nor wasteful or profligate consumption without regard to consequence.

Indeed to all of that, 'cept "the vast majority of those Christians I knew", like any other human with any other belief (or non-belief) frame of being, stray from those beliefs when they become inconvenient. Granted, most of the straying is minor shhhtuff and the incredibly overwhelming majority do not play the fools Falwell & Robertson do. Seems the bigger the audience, the bigger the fool becomes...thus politicians seem to sidestep inconveniences & do fool very well.

The world is our to make or muck up, though it can self cleanse any old time it chooses, which may be while we are around or not.
