Televangelist and the Cult of Greed in America

[Redrob]

Have you noticed that the growth of Televangelism in the USA corresponds directly with the growth of the Cult of Greed in the USA?

"We teach and preach and believe biblically that God wants to bless people who serve Him," Meyer said. "So there's no need for us to apologize for being blessed."

Televangelism and the values they pass to their growing flocks seem to be more about the accumulation of wealth than helping the poor, feeding the hungry or helping the disabled and children.

For a good read, go to on the matter visit Greedy Televangelists

Just my opinion.

I have to agree with you...I pass by some of those channels and some of the shit they spew to those morons is unbelievable...who of course are all busy taking notes like they're in a school class or something. Hilarious.

Of course they all hawk, a book, a dvd, a prayer service at the breaks...We are creating a country of numbfuck jesus nutbags...Yes, I hate them. lol.
Just my insensitive opinion.

I have to agree with the OPs original point. I do believe their is a correlation but I am legally bound to agree with any statement made against the church or conservatives or lose my membership in the super secret liberal left Mouseketeers‎ club and lose my decoder ring. I will add that I read a book with some very nice little moral gems in it like:

do unto others bla bla bla
Blessed are the poor
the meek shall inherit something or other

I don't know, Im no expert but it sure does seem like the old timey religion at least pretended to believe in that stuff

remember, faith without works is meaningless and you show your faith through your works

What the fuck is the "Cult of Greed" and how can I join?

Lyrics:

Lights, camera, silence on the set
Tape rolling, 3-2-1 action
Welcome to the Church of Suicidal
We'll have a sermon and a wonderful recital
But before we go on there's something I must mention
An important message I must bring to your attention
I was in meditation and prayer last night
I was awakened by a shining bright light
Overhead a glorious spirit, he gave me a message and you all
need to hear it
"Send me your money," that's what he said
He said to "Send me your money"

Now if you can only send a dollar or two
There ain't a hell of a lot I can do for you
But if you want to see heaven's door
Make out a check for five hundred or more
"Send me your money," do you hear what I said?
"Send me your money"

Now give me some bass, um yea that's how he likes it
Now give me some silence, for all you sinners
Now give me some bass, yea that was funky
Now take them on home Brother Clark, send me your money
Here comes another con hiding behind a collar
His only god is the almighty dollar
He ain't no prophet, he ain't healer
He's just a two bit goddamn money stealer
Send me your money
Send it, you got to send it
Send me your money
You hear what I'm saying?
Send it, send it
Send me your money

How much you give is your own choice
But to me it is the difference between a Porsche and a Rolls Royce
I want you to make it hurt when you dig into your pocket
Cause it makes me feel so good to watch my profits rocket

Send me your money
Now dig in deep, dig real deep into your pocket
I want you to make it hurt!
We'll take cash, we'll take checks
We'll take credit cards, we'll take jewelry
We'll take your momma's dentures if they got gold in them
So whose gonna be the next king of the fakers
Whose gonna take the place of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker?
See my momma, she didn't raise no fool
Youse you can't put a price on a miricle
Amen

Lyrics kinda to the point.

Just remember the Ephors (priests) in the movie "300".
