.... and he knows it too. Norman Vincent Peale's "Power of Positive Thinking"
is just now repackaged in Joel Osteen's God loves you and has big plans for you
act.

If God is so anti Gay and all powerful than why does he keep letting all those
gay babies keep getting born?

And, he really packs them in at the "arena" he bought in Houston--thousands of malleable sycophants seeking justification for their greed and hatred of gays.

TV show. We read from a script to try and squeeze every dime out of the emotional callers. Needless to say,I couldn't do it. But I know the disgusting means these wonderful people will go to for the money. And if the caller was crying,you click a little box and another script talking point came up to really guilt them into more cash. Religious my ass,money is their religion.--Please note I am talking about the large TV preachers.
