Evangelist and Samaritan's Purse CEO Franklin Graham whined that Pope Leo XIV's Palm Sunday homily against unjust wars was wrong, citing Old Testament examples of God's wrath as a justification for the US to conduct a costly and surprise attack against the people of Iran on behalf of Israel.

This is not a good human being

During an episode of "Piers Morgan Uncensored," Morgan asked evangelical profiteer Franklin Graham to respond to the first American pontiff, who devoted his Palm Sunday homily to rebuking those who would justify war in the name of Jesus Christ.

"I want peace, I don't want war," Graham sniveled. "I don't support war, but I do believe, at times, there is justification when you're fighting evil. And the Islamic Republic of Iran, I believe, is an evil government. And so, I hope there is a regime change. I really do."

~snip~

For years the world has been demanding regime change for the US, Israel, and Russia, not Iran.

Israel's genocidal campaign against Muslins, oppressing Christians, annexing southern Lebanon, and Dummkopf Trumpf raping underage girls are not evil, right soul-monger?

    Living in the OT is a poor life choice... but he's a millionaire times ten, so no wonder he likes Trump's 1 percenter economy.

    I'd like to ask him who would Jesus bomb?

    I mean, Trump just compared himself to Jesus, so I guess Franklin has bought in.

    The Shia Respect life more than the Evangelicals.

    They Respect God more Too.

    It's the Funny Hats, they make them...So Evil.

    America First Christians don't wear Funny Hats.

    "Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."

    In the Middle East this is called a "fitna."

    America has endured this tension and conflict between Catholics and Protestants for centuries:

    ~Protestant US Army soldiers persecuted Catholic Irish recruits during the Mexican-American War
    ~The Protestant Know-Nothing Party led to groups like the Hibernian Order to protect Catholics
    ~Catholic mafioso fought against the Protestant KKK during Prohibition

    The diabolical Trumpf regime has taken the mask and kid gloves off.

    The Shia clerics in Iran also respect nature and the environment more than Christians and Jews.

    They issued a "fatwa" against nuclear weapons and forbade the use of chemical weapons against invading Iraqi soldiers because both would "despoil nature."

    The US military sprayed Agent Orange all over Vietnam and the IDF was caught spraying chemical defoliants in Lebanon and Syria.

    The nefarious Trumpf junta just signed the death warrant for the rare Rice's whale in the Gulf of Mexico, which will soon become extinct as there are less than 100 of these poor cetaceans left on the planet.

    Yup, the evil regime on the planet is certainly in Tehran.
