re: #84 thedopefishlives

To be fair, a lot of us Christians believe that God has a plan, but that we are perfectly capable of ignoring it and going our way because God does not force us to obey. Mr. Osteen, however, has to pimp his prosperity gospel for all it’s worth, and that requires that there be some tangible benefit for following his - er, I mean, God’s - plan.

True enough. I think what turns me off so much about evangelists is it’s hard sometimes to tell where the dividing line between them and cultists are. That idea that they have a direct line to the Almighty and thus know all the answers, but you gotta put a little more money in the plate before they’ll let you in on them.
