Joel Osteen's church theft opens can of worms: Jaws drop as folks do the math

55. They don't follow that part of the Bible.

They got tired of bothering to read after Leviticus and Deuteronomy. So, now, that's all they ever talk about and shove on the rest of us. I don't even think they really read that far. I think most of them were told what to think. I rarely saw the preacher at that Christian school I went to ever even open the Bible. He just ranted against people born out of wedlock and women every time we had our Tuesday and Friday chapel services. I'm so glad I survived that place without as many lasting scars as so many others who went there during his time as principal. I know one in my class from there who had to go into an insane asylum at 5 years old and still sleeps with a .45 under his pillow. Most of the kids who went to that same school are strung out on drugs and extremely fucked up even this many years later.

They love their money. They don't follow that part of the Bible. They preach hatred toward certain people, usually women and gay people, and tap into the hatreds that a large number of people have to get unquestioning support from those who hate women and gay people. That is how they keep their followers and make so much money.
