I was channel surfing and saw that guy Joel Osteen for the 1st time ever...

Ha ha ha. This is hysterical! I needed a good laugh after watching Osama Bin Laden for 1/2 an hour. He has more people in his audience than a Led Zeppelin show from 1975 and reminds me of Martin Short sort of. Does he charge people money to hear and see this crap? If I weren't already an Atheist I think this would do the trick.

I know he sells tickets when he preaches out of town and he always has a full house.

He's a prosperity theologist who has prospered a lot. His only redeeming value is that his sermons generally don't tell people how and whom to hate.

I almost expect to hear him break out in tongues when I see his face, or his face to crack, or something odd.

Boils, tentacles, green slime.

Guy just makes me laugh.

Ohiya
