What's wrong with making people feel better in this often miserable world? His words arent bad, they are inspiring messages to his followers. That's a better message than most media nowadays what's wrong with it is he is conning those people out of millions of dollars then won't turn around use what those millions helped build to help those in need get away from a storm that forced them out of their homes...you don't see a disconnect there? Making people feel good is a scam and a lie if you're willing to let those same people die in the streets to exposure, drowning, and starvation. People like this have been around long before Joel Osteen. It's not some new con he's running and people should stop giving money to these megachurch assholes. The problem is religion has a strong hold on people. Those in need of any sort of strength, answers or help with any problems they have will gladly give money to a church. Not because they like Joel but because they think he can really reach god and help them. They're being taken advantage of. You shouldn't expect those people to realize that and stop. You should expect the assholes to stop being assholes and hope they'd stop taking advantage of vulnerable individuals. Unfortunately they won't <cite>TheVipaGTS posted [p:885654732] in Joel Ostee...
