I didn't realize that Tyler Perry was such a jerk

[catbyte]

He gave that snake oil salesman, Joel Osteen, $250K. Puhleeze. Not a cent from me towards anything he's connected to ever again. At first I didn't believe it until I saw the video where he tried "explaining" himself.

Tyler Perry donates $250K to Joel Osteen

Tyler Perry just took “Love thy neighbor” to the next level.

The “Boo 2! A Madea Halloween” star donated $1 million to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts — with $250,000 of that cash going to Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church in Houston.

Osteen, 54, came under fire this week after he allegedly refused to open Lakewood’s doors to residents who were displaced by severe flooding from Hurricane Harvey last week.

Perry, 47, explained his decision and defended his longtime friend Osteen in a Facebook video Thursday.

3. TPerry donated $750K to Houston recovery; got scammed for $250K.

Prosperity gospel is a scam, but it's a scam that plays on just-world fears in those who have achieved success while seeing those who haven't. If they think too hard about the unfairness that got them to comfort and success while leaving behind their equally talented peers and friends and family, they'll have to wrestle with the omnibenevolent, omniscient, omnipotent paradox -- a god that is all three and still allows poverty, pain, suffering and terror cannot be all three. So they cleave to prosperity gospel as a means of insulating themselves from their rational mind.

4. The only funny thing Tyler's ever done!

"I know lots of people want to give and help but be careful. You really need to know how much of your donations actually get to the people before you choose an organization to give to."
