Why Franklin Graham is going to Heck... i just couldn't do it

[Big Owl]

This bothers me for some reason...


It seems that family of evangelist Billy Graham is divided as to where the their parents should be burried when they die. The Graham's sons Ned and Franklin have opposing ideas as to where the remains of their parents are supose to be resting for eternaty. One son and Billy's wife Ruth wants to be buried at Cove located near Asheville, NC and their son Franklin, the head of the Billy Graham ministries wants it to be at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte. The Billy Graham Library includes a burial plot for the couple as well as a....




wait for it...













a Mechanical Talking Cow....

The building is not a library, she says, but a large barn and silo -- a reminder of Billy Graham's early childhood on a dairy farm near Charlotte. Once it's completed in the spring, visitors will pass through a 40-foot-high glass entry cut in the shape of a cross and be greeted by a mechanical talking cow. They will follow a path of straw through rooms full of exhibits. At the end of the tour, they would be pointed toward a stone walk that leads to a garden where the bodies of Billy and Ruth Graham could lie.

Am i the only one that is bothered by that?

No I read the article in the wee hours last night from studying and it bothered me immensely. Whatever your religious persuasion is most people would agree that Billy Graham has touched many lives through his ministry and been humble about it. His son trying to make a Disney-like attraction out of his parent's burial place is a mockery to Billy Graham's ministry and seemingly contrary to the last wishes of him and his wife. I know the place where Mrs. Graham wishes to be buried in Asheville, NC and it is a beautiful, peaceful place where they lived for many many years and more representative of the humble way they have lived throughout their lives.
