Franklin Graham Seems To Want A Holy War Over Transgender Rights

What would Jesus do? Would he take a bullet because he hated transgender people and was particularly obsessed with where they pee? That doesn’t sound like something Jesus would do. But, the ultra-conservative pain-in-the-ass son of Billy Graham — Franklin Graham — seems to want some kind of holy war over the issue. At least that sure is the impression he gave with a Facebook post from Sunday.

“What would you take a bullet for? What are the principles and beliefs that you would not compromise under any circumstances? Even if it meant putting your life on the line?”

Um…what?

“The God of the Old Testament that delivered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from their fiery execution is the same God today—and He is still more than able to save. Will you stand against ungodliness? What are you willing to take a bullet for?”

Oh. Okay, he really did ask that. What are you willing to take a bullet for? Seriously Frankie? What are you going for here? Are you going all ISIS on America over bathrooms?

David Badash was clearly also trying to figure out if Franklin Graham is serious or just seriously delusional in an article on the website New Civil Rights Movement.

“The question has to be asked: Just how disturbing is Franklin Graham’s recent Facebook post? Is he now advocating violence? Is he effectively intimating violence against LGBT people is a godly stance against “sin”? Is he suggesting LGBT people are a danger to Christians? Is he suggesting Christians should somehow martyr themselves in some twisted anti-LGBT last stand? What exactly is he suggesting?”

Franklin Graham has made it quite clear in the last little while that he is not a fan of transgender people using the bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity and he has expressed it over and over. As Gay Star News points out, Graham took aim at Obama who on Friday had a letter sent out to all schools warning them that it is the job of schools to protect students from discrimination and that there would be penalties for those that didn’t allow transgender students to use the appropriate bathrooms.

“Who does President Barack Obama think he is? The sultan of Washington? Does he think he can just make a “decree” and we will bow down and simply obey?…The president obviously must have no fear of God, who made us and created us male and female. I hope that school districts across this nation will defy President Obama and his administration’s radical progressive agenda to promote and advance the sin of homosexuality and the LGBT agenda.”

But you can’t accuse the guy of having a one track mind. The next day, in fact, Franklin Graham broke up his hate-fest long enough to make lengthy post about the virtues of using CARFAX, a service that you can use to find out the history of a car you are buying.

“Have you ever bought a used car? I have bought plenty over the years, and one of the most helpful tools is a CARFAX which can give you the complete history on a vehicle. It’s pretty amazing.”

What a multi-dimensional fellow that Franklin Graham is.
