According to the Lakeland Ledger article, Graham said "Christian leaders shouldn't worry about being politically correct or offending others when it comes to espousing their beliefs."  Then the article goes on to quote him as saying

"Our world needs leadership," said Graham, the son of famous evangelist Billy Graham, during Southeastern's fifth annual National Leadership Forum. "You want to be a leader? You just take God's word and apply it to your life and live it every day."

How offensive does this jackass want people to be?  It used to be that half of the time that I went out of my home, I would get proselytized or have to listen to dominionist-cr*p rants, and based upon the last few months, it's increased to closer to 75% of the time.  My father-in-law and I went to a model airplane airshow last weekend, and were forced to move because of the LOUD offensive (political) rant* by two people sitting next to us (my father-in-law was offended as much as I was, and he usually doesn't express himself!!!).  I go to the store, I get hit with "Have a JEEZUHS FILLED DAY!!!" and things like that - from the cashiers!  If I even step outside our door, our young-earth creationist neighbors are likely to begin ranting (or were - when they learned I'd taught evolution, they stopped talking to us after a major explosion).  The only safe places to go are our UU church (where people who force their religion on others are stopped), my school, and my father-in-law's house (and sometimes he even talks rather conservative).  Steeplejacking of churches - that's an offensive behavior.  I've personally witnessed dominionists taking over funerals and preaching hellfire and damnation sermons (and been told of other examples including near fistfights between the officiant and the invaders).  That is VERY offensive.  They even try to take over radio frequencies - I've been driven off of repeaters because of proselytizers, and when I complained to the organization was told "It's a free country and you can turn off your radio."

They want their people to be more offensive towards the Other (I and most of my friends are in that category), but at the same time, if you offend them, they can be violent and dangerous.  They burned my electronics workshop, (we believe they) killed some of our kitties, spraypainted racist graffiti on our driveway, preached against me by name in the local megachurches, have been caught sneaking into our yard (supposedly to leave tracts on our car, but their hands were oily), and recently someone broke off the amateur radio antenna on my car (and vanished with the broken-off part).  They've torched other people's homes and killed other people's pets too.  (Links: 1 2 3 4  thanks to dogemperor!)

Note that these links mainly refer to one incident.   Over the last few years, I've heard and read of other violent responses by Pentecostals/Dominionists/Fundamentalists to people that they found offensive.  They're DANGEROUS and increasing in VIOLENCE, folks!!!  Franklin's speech is only going to fan the flames!!!

The things I did to offend them?  I said that you can accept evolution as fact and still be Christian.  I denouncing the falsehoods that come from the dominionist pulpits (like the false history they try to teach).  I regularly speak out for the poor and homeless, and against racism.  These are the very things that I believe Jesus himself would have done, especially advocating for the poor and disenfranchised.  

They prattle about obedience to God, but isn't God the God of TRUTH???  What about the "Golden Rule" - do unto others as you would have them do unto you?  Doesn't Jesus' own words have any meaning to them?

What about the scriptural strictures against giving offense?  (1 Cor 10, especially towards the end of the chapter).  I think that other examples could be found, and I DO know that the early Saints/Bishops often had to tell the churches to not be offensive (I remember reading that Saint Clement rebuked the Christians for insisting on the Christian version of creation, but I don't remember the source).

*- I think they were trying to proselytize in a political sense.  They were obvious members of the Tea Party.  We've encountered the "public prayer that is actually a sermon" and the "conversation meant to push Jeezuhs on everyone" many times, and I think this was the political version of that.
