RIP Billy Graham

So does anyone actually understand how he made a net worth of $25 million? If he was using all donations to help millions of people, where did his money come from? Didn’t look like he had an actual job, so who payed him?

He owned property, among other things

Was it through his ministry or did he have an actual job that paid him that much. Judging by your defensiveness, I’m guessing that deep down you know how, you just don’t want to admit it to yourself.

I do not have to defend anything, Christianity stands on its own without my help

But it still feels good to point out what a huge piece of shit your kind are... he acquired property and naming rights that earned him that wealth, wealth that he spread across the world

You are human garbage, literal trash blowing through the gutters of our streets

But hey, this is America after all... so blow on through the gutters if you must

This is true. Mainly the part where it doesn’t need your help. You’re making it look like it’s nothing but brainwashed idiots. Hopefully a real Christian will come along to have an actual discussion on this discussion board, because I’m really just curious how a pastor makes $25 million and the nonsensical tantrum isn’t really answering anything. You do realize it takes money to buy the properties that he supposedly bankrolled to $25 million. So, where did that money come from? It shouldn’t be that hard of a question.

Maybe he prayed really hard and god dropped it in his bank account??

You are filth, not even worthy of mentioning Grahams name

You wouldnt know a real Christian if you talked to one, your only aim is to tear it down facts be damned... you're a huge piece of shit

Why do you care? The man enhanced a lot of lives. You may not like the enhancement, but they did. He's done nothing to you.

In my opinion he had an actual job. He was a servant of the Lord. And as far as I am concerned, getting a soul into Heaven is the toughest job on the planet. With the proper training anybody can build a bridge or a 'fridge, but without the Holy Spirit working through a person, ain't nobody gettin' nobody to Heaven.

I am a factory worker, so I would assume you would consider that an "actual job" no?

I am a factory worker because I am not strong enough spiritually to be a pastor. And before you fret about all that money he had, keep in mind people like me who worked for it donated it to his cause. You will be insulting us if you insult his cause. You are free to do it of course, but it will be an insult to those of us that donated that money.

(FTR I doubt that any of Mr. Grahams money came from me personally because the wife and myself just donate here locally, but the principle is the same)

He wrote a boat load of books and they sold well.

No see, thats not good enough for Red Pondscum... he wants to turn a good man into a joke because he is an atheist piece of shit that simply cannot keep his mouth shut

His hate runs too deep, it wont allow him to simply avoid conflict... he wants to fight about it

He is a bitter man to speak ill of a good man.

Not trying to be rude here , but can you deduce the answer to your question from these selected quotes?

I can appreciate you hate Christians, heck, I hate liberals, but I can understand and respect their answers even when I disagree with them

I don’t hate Christians. I was raised in a Christian family. I’ve just always questioned things, which is why I’m the only person in my family to break away from Christianity. I don’t see how it’s out of line to ask how a televangelist makes that much money. I think religion should be a personal thing between me and my creator. Seeing people profit off peoples fear of the unknown just rubs me the wrong way.

Sure, I agree. It's fair to ask. I have no problem with that. But now that you have multiple people giving you multiple reasons, can you be the bigger man and say "OK, that's cool"?
