I Agree With Everything Written In This Article

I started looking for a way to vent my frustration at the maggot that is Joel Osteen. I have a very special hatred for these kind of religious hucksters who have found a way to monetize religion to the benefit of only themselves. It's a sad old story that has been true since the time of Jeebus himself. No one every went broke with a good evangelical roadshow. Lots of rubes and suckers willing to pony up to feel like they are included in on a great secret. It's stupid because people do it willingly. It's insidious in a way.  But I will stop there lest I rant about all religion in general. But this articles says everything I want to say only better. Follow a link for a great article that is spot on.

Right on. Organized religion is either out to scam money or control every aspect of it's followers lives. This piece of shit will get his in the end and if there is an afterlife he's probably not going to have a good time.

Joel Osteen is a particularly smarmy little shit.

Any one of those hypocritical, smarmy (thanks Debra), phony bastards should have their tax exempt status taken away. Maybe 20% of religious organizations deserve to be tax-exempt. The rest, forget it. When cults like Scientology get tax exempt status, then there's something rotten in the state of Denmark.
