what do you think of some of these t.v. preachers

[Oneironaut]

Power-hungry money-grubbing lying scumbag fraudsters. I can kind of understand regular preachers; I mean, if you really think your religion is true, it only makes sense to try to teach the rest of the community about it at your local house of worship. But the Pat Robertsons and Billy Grahams have to know they're just manipulating people for their personal benefit.

Not to mention they say some of the most nauseating hate-filled crap I've ever heard.

â??I think 'one man, one vote,' just unrestricted democracy, would not be wise. There needs to be some kind of protection for the minority which the white people represent now, a minority, and they need and have a right to demand a protection of their rights.â?� â??Pat Robertson on apartheid

â??And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Wayâ??all of them who have tried to secularize Americaâ??I point the finger in their face and say â??you helped this happen.â??â?� â??Jerry Falwell on the 9/11 attacks

If any of you Christians enjoy these televangelists, just remember that Jesus thinks they're hypocrites because they make a big spectacle out of their relationship with God.

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

I think Metallica said it best .

Time for lust, time for lie
time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
and you'll get a better seat

Peace

Money, money, and more money... That's all I hear them say. There is one of those here in San Antonio at the Courner Stone Church.

i speak of houston tv speakers..

and i agree, money money money... i've heard them contradict themselves over the years (i can't name specifics, we are tlaking years here) i think they just say what it takes to get viewers and peopel to come to their church (which brings donations and such)...

half the time, some of the things they say don't have anything to do with religion, religious messages or life lessons..... (agian houston area tv avangelists [is that the correct term?] as i've never seen any others)

i just get this feeling they're so full of it and fake... and i've had plenty of christian goign people tell me the same things... (which actually made me start paying attention to what they say, i don't watch them all the time, but i do hear the shit from time to time.... my grandparents watch it all the time)

[longgonetx]

these tv preacher fellas make me sick. they really do. there are tons of lonely, hurting people out in tvland and charismatic preachers offer hope for a donation. there is no difference between this and catholic church's sale of indulgences hundreds of years ago. its really sad
