Fake or Real?

Is the story about Billy Graham real or a fake? If it is fake why would good, Christian people want to post it and send it out again and again? That piece is a fake and I have received it many times.

It is like the one that used Madelyn Murray O'Hair as bait to catch as many unsuspecting Christians as possible and make them look foolish. I had a daily radio program for about 15 years and one particularly destructive Urban Myth began to circulate that really got the blood of Believers to run red hot.

Here is the gist of it. Quote: "The well known atheist, Madelyn Murray O'Hair, has sent a letter to the Federal Communication Committee demanding that they take Dr. Jim Dobson and or other Christians off the air. Here is all you have to do. Send a letter to the FCC demanding that this evil move by MMO be stopped immediately!"

The FCC received millions upon millions of letter from angry Christians. Here is the problem. The entire thing was a hoax. It must have been set up by some evil atheist who likes to make us look stupid. IT WORKED!!!

If you send these kinds of letters and announcements out to all your friends on the Internet, stop at once. Before you post go to www.snopes.com and check it out first.
