Meredith W. Indermaur: Graham doesn’t speak for God

Regarding the Dec. 20 news article “Franklin Graham: God, not Russians, intervened in election”: Franklin Graham’s recent proclamation that God intervened in our presidential election resulting in a Donald Trump win flirts with blasphemy and makes a mockery of Christianity.

I’m not sure which is more disturbing – his dismissal of facts regarding Russian interference or his insistence that God did the GOP’s – or any political party’s – bidding.

Maybe the most horrifying truth is that so many people believe him on both counts.

Let it be known that, even though he calls himself a pastor, he does not speak for the God that many Christians like me love, and he never will.
