He could sell cars but he wouldn't make nearly as much money.

I find it amusing that the adbots have placed an advertisement for Joel Osteen tickets just above. All ya had to do was make mention of him!

Moderator cut: edit Hmmmm. I find him a good motivational speaker rather than a preacher. People like him.

I've only seen him a few times, but I have noticed I haven't heard him preach the Hellfire and Brimstone of some of the others. He seems to take the "you attract more flies with honey than vinegar" approach.

Kudos, Mr. Osteen!

He preaches "prosperity" gospel. Not Biblical.

Yeah just one more Christian who has a point of view that is different then your and thus wrong...

Christians have as many beliefs and views and of course they all think anyone other then them is wrong.....

I think he's right on this one, though. The whole idea that God blesses the righteous with fabulous gifts and prizes here on earth runs pretty counter to what Jesus had to say.
