oh dear! <blockquote>money is ?really important,? and besides, ?we love the money in Jesus Christ?s name! Jesus loved money too!? </blockquote>
 
I think blaming Christianity is irresponsible.



<blockquote>It can be hard to get used to how much Garay talks about money in church, one loyal parishioner, Billy Gonzales, told me one recent Sunday on the steps out front. <strong>Back in Mexico, Gonzales?s pastor talked only about ?Jesus and heaven and being good.? </strong>But Garay talks about jobs and houses and making good money, which eventually came to make sense to Gonzales: money is ?really important,? and besides, ?we love the money in Jesus Christ?s name! Jesus loved money too!?</blockquote>


But feel free to pile on this douchebag who is twisting the scripture to line his pockets and build a church around the false prophet of Capitalism. If you're going to ignore the gospel, why not start a church based on strip clubs?



Blasphemy. BTW, my pastor back home talks about ?Jesus and heaven and being good? and stuff?
 
I really dislike "benefit" Christian pastors who espouses the genie philosophy of Christianity. Believe in God and you get (fill in blank).



I am glad the article talks about the fraud that is Joel Osteen

You haven't been to Portland lately, have you?
 
Found this yesterday - Stephen Fry is very interesting (used to be in a comedy duo with Hugh Laurie - from house)
