Another Stupid Email Debunked – Thank You Snopes – ‘Prayer for Our Nation’ Is BS
One of my pet peeves is the use of email to send chain political messages, sappy inspirational pictures or dumb jokes.
If you are a friend, family, co-worker or just curious, I don’t mind hearing from you. But, what I want to hear is what you think, not what someone told you to think and especially not what someone else passed on to you as what some famous person told a church or a class of graduating high school seniors. I find that most of the time, the stuff that gets passed around the church prayer chains or the fantasy football league email list is unsourced BS.
Since Thanksgiving is almost upon us, Billy Graham’s Prayer for Our Nation is back and has found its way into my wife’s email. One problem with this prayer is that it’s more political statement than thoughtful beseeching of blessing or guidance from God. The other problem is that Billy Graham didn’t have anything to do with it. It’s not his thought or work. To the people who continue to perpetuate this lie, I refer you to Exodus 20, especically the false witness part.

Great work! I also have my own blog I just find it hard to write quality content like this.
I guess I really don’t have the time.
