we are truly in a battle against an insane cult.
turn on tbn for a few minutes.
god, military and patriotism.

in a few minute span i saw some mad smiling woman and a young guy talking about how he was healed and miracles and praying and the power of god, next some man singing surrounded by a chorus, little american flag on what looked like a grave marker and huge flag keyed into the background, medley consisted of religious songs intetwined with america the beautiful and battle hymn of the republic,
cut to commercial, military honor guard with setting sun more religo-jingoistic music, cut to commercial they are 'giving' a glowing crystal keychain with tbn logo for a 'donation'....

IM OUT. IM FREAKED OUT. It is madly enntertaining though, like luche libre without the costumes...

6. Not all TBN programming is equal
I am very entertained by some of it, although rarely and I enlightened by any of it.

TD Jakes is a very entertaining preacher, and only rarely gives an anti-gay sermon. He is fun to watch.

Joyce Meyer is actually very funny sometimes, too, and not particularly judgemental of other people.

Joel Osteen is a cutie-pie, and rarely offends anyone with his sermons. That's why a lot of conservative christians don't like his message all that much-I get their point, Jesus didn't mean for life to be without controversy. Joel is still a cutie-pie, though.

7. Well it does give a clue about such things as the inquisition
The world seems to have to get real bloody on religious and do it all in the name of God. Makes me never wish to see the inside of a church as long as I live, at times.
