He's now 96 years old. OK. He wasn't 96 years old in 2000, yet this apocryphal story attempts to give the impression that it's really remarkable that a man who is 96 years old and feeble now could have given an articulate speech fifteen years ago, when he was neither 96 nor feeble.

And no, Billy Graham doesn't have the slightest clue where he's going. Neither does anyone else.

If god is omnipresent, then life without god is impossible. So stop worrying about the scary atheists.

Um... what?

He lost a ticket and had a suit for his funeral or... huh?

ferschitz said...

Einstein didn't know where he was going? Yeah, right.

And btw, this does a dis-service to those struggling with Parkinsons. I have a friend with early onset Parkinsons, and he continues to work full-time and is quite articulate. Does RWD realize that Parkinsons is not the same thing as dementia or Alzheimers?

How Billy Graham's alleged Parkinsons relates to Einstein on a train is one of those WTF moments.

The only thing I can think of is that they believe it's miraculous that BG could deliver such a "powerful sermon" with Parkinson's. However you already addressed the fact it's not like dementia so they sort of missed the boat if that's the intent of even bringing up the Parkinson's.

It's meant to be a feel-good story I guess and if some gain some feeling of comfort from it, so be it.

Feel good stories have a place, but this one is filled with lots of false and/or mis-information. At least write a feel good story that's reasonably factually correct, not totally made up nonsense.

That's why RWD is such a noodlehead - fact free nonsense like this does no one any good, imo.

Schitzengiggles said...


True. I didn't make reference to there being any factual information it it because let's face it...it's a RWD forward so I figured that was moot. A lot of feel-good stories are made up...just sayin.

Thx 4 Fish said...

Billy Graham may have Parkinson's, but MRWD probably has some dementia if he thinks that this silly attempt to show superiority of religion over science is even remotely inspiring.

I actually can belive the fact that Einstein was a little lost. I have read in various reputable publications that although he was a genius, he had difficulty with directions and had even gotten lost riding his bicycle home on a few occasions.

Indeed, losing one's sense of direction on a regular basis is an early sign of the onset of stage 1 Alzheimer's disease.

Einstein, although being considered a "genius" by many, couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time.

Why doesn't the Jebus cure him? And what did he do to piss the Jebus off?
