I never got the whole televangelist thing. 'Give me money and i'll pray for you'!

I live in oklahoma when not travelling. (I'm in the Balkans now). The big thing in oklahoma is the prosperity gospel, which basically says that god wants you to be rich and you will be if you follow him.

It's such a fucking scam.

I've come to realize that the main religions are not popular because they are clear message from a supposedly divine god, but the opposite. They are so full of contradictions that you can read whatever you want into them.
