I respect Billy Graham a great deal- I don't agree with many of his beliefs, but I do like the man. I will be saddened by his death. Helms was a despicable man, not just because of his beliefs but because of how he acted upon them and the pain he caused others as a result. I was not sad at his passing, and I did not, do not and never will have one speck of respect for him, alive or dead. I have a very hard time respecting anyone who is so willfully ignorant and so abusive with his power. The more people show that this is not acceptable (even to the point of refusing the usual post-mortem sanctification process) the more it will sink in to such individuals that they are not relevant in today's society, unless it is as some sort of pariah.
