Found it here--it was printed in the local News-Urinal and ran last

Once you're done laughing or shaking your head at the "advice", go to the
page and look at the ugly grimace of this schmuck, and the ugly design of
the page itself. Granted, this "advice" isn't as funny as his
relationship/marital advice, but ya takes what ya gets.
My Answer: Should I Forget God and Face My Problems on My Own?
Billy Graham
Q: I had a lot of problems when I was growing up, and recently I've been
seeing a counselor to try to understand myself. But when I told her that
my faith is very important to me, she said I needed to forget God and
face my problems on my own. Is she right? - Mrs. B.McF.
A: No, she isn't right, and I'm sorry she has taken this position.
Instead of trying to take away your faith, she should be encouraging you
to seek God's help. I suggest you ask your pastor or another person you
trust for the name of another counselor.
Whenever I meet someone like your counselor, I always wonder why they are
so hostile toward God. There may be many reasons - but often it's simply
because they want to run their own lives, and they don't want God to
interfere. Or they may also be filled with pride, and don't think they
need God.
Whatever the reason, when they meet a person who has a strong faith, they
feel threatened, and they tend to react in a very negative way. In other
words, this person's words reveal more about her than they do about you.
The Bible says, "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of
the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers"
(Psalm 1:1).
Seek help (if you need it) from someone who will help you understand your
problems and also encourage you to find strength from God. Remember: God
loves you, and He doesn't want you to be enslaved by whatever was wrong
in your past. Jesus' words are for you: "Come to me, all you who are
weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).

AUTHORITARIANS ARE PERVERTS. Why?
--They consider themselves shepherds.
--They consider the rest of us sheep.
--Shepherds ***** sheep.
--Therefore AUTHORITARIANS ARE PERVERTS.

When you're sick, seek God. Does he do immunizations and fracture
casts too?

Yes, for suitably dishonest definitions of the word "yes".
