Franklin Graham: Satan is to blame for marriage equality

Franklin Graham

Writing on his father's website, Franklin Graham says that Satan is the one behind equal rights for gays and lesbians:

This is a full-scale assault against Christianity and the followers of Christ. When prayer is banned from the public square, when our President fails to defend biblically defined marriage, and he openly and zealously advocates for gay rights; when legislators rush to overrule existing laws to promote gay marriage; when schools and courts consistently suppress religious freedoms; we know we are locked in a war against the Christian faith, not culture.

The architect behind this offensive is none other than Satan himself. The Scripture says that the devil, our archenemy, is bent on as much destruction as possible. “But woe to you O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short” (Revelation 12:12).

Satan knows that one day very soon, he will be cast into the lake of fire and sulfur in hell (Revelation 20:10). As that day draws near, his malicious, hellish activity is intensifying. He has already been decisively defeated on the cross by the Lord Jesus Christ, who took away his ultimate weapons of death and condemnation. For now, however, he still has power to work woe on earth.

Graham goes on to cast people like himself - white, straight, male, wealthy - as the true victims of same-sex marriage. That men such as himself are the ones with the uphill climb.

Because being born white, straight, male and wealthy really sets you up for disaster compared to others in America.

Right....
