We just ended several days of over-the-top adulation of Billy Graham. Just as with Mother Teresa, the truth is hidden under the media hype. For example, Billy Graham was the person who essentially initiated the present National Day of Prayer, which is clearly unconstitutional. (link) This lead to the mainstreaming of conservative evangelical Christianity:
He made the new wave of evangelical politics possible, and essentially agreed with all the harm from such. (link) "What harm?" you say. Well for starters, profound psychological harms. (link)
In spite of the harms from evangelical Christianity, the man clearly wanted a theocracy under such. (link)
While he was more honest and decent than many other preachers, his "legacy" is evil covered by dogma and slickness. He was the BIGGEST religious placebo in history, and exhibit A of why religion poisons everything.
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
