Satanic, anti-Billy Graham messages spray painted on vandalized SC church

As funeral plans for Billy Graham continue, a South Carolina church was vandalized with vulgar graffiti about Carolina-born evangelist.

Obscene messages and Satanic symbols were spray painted at the Life Spring Community Church in Simpsonville. Along with a pentagram, was a vulgar and poorly written message directed toward “Billy Grahm.”

Pastor Sarah Sircy said she arrived Sunday morning to find graffiti on the sign out front, wyff4.com. The graffit also included the Spanish phrase “Se vaya con el diablo,” translated to “Go with the devil,” written on the church wall.

The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident.
