(22,096 posts)I meant "dark" - the kind of fiend who'd gladly slit a chicken's throat (or possibly even a child's) because he think it'll give him "good luck." I shall edit accordingly.
But these things, as you know, do happen. And when the powerful or well-connected do it, who's to know?
If anything, I suspect, the opposite is true: it might bring them bad luck - on account of all that very negative energy they're releasing when they harm someone or something (Thomas, I consider capable of almost anything - if he thinks it'll promote him).
Personally, I think the Christian icon - that of Christ basically being tortured - is a poor choice (nothing against Christians; am agnostic myself).
They're basically telling themselves, over and over, "I want my life to feel as though I was nailed to the wall."
I'm sure Osteen and the other holy rollers laugh all the way to the bank - after slitting a chicken's throat or something, of course.
