Wicked con artists, but conniving geniuses.

They are well versed on theology.
They know that people think giving money will assist them to get to "Heaven"
Personally I find them all charlatans taking advantage of peoples vulnerabilities.

lol... i see all the names have changed since i was last aware of who's in charge of that racket/scheme.

they're just con artists with a niche.

They tell people what they want to hear. That's the reason they have these huge ass mega churches with thousands of members.

Con artists preying on the fear of death. I hope there is a special place in Hell for them alongside Billy Graham.

I think they should read the bible more,(they seem to miss/ leave out lots of content) take less in salary, and give more away to the poor.
And if they stopped lying that would be great.
They are con-artists really.
Higher then those who send them money..

I find the whole thing disturbing.

Business people with tax free businesses. If a hell existed they should be concerned.

Copeland has more aircraft than the Irish air force.

All had help from the DS, it’s not even just about the money with these people.
Equal to Elon Musk & the fake science

They should share

Not a fan.

Hoping that there is a God and that He is vengeful beyond all human comprehension.

@uncalled4 first judgement is on the church

I don't know much about the first 2 but I don't think any of them are crooks. Still, the optics of being so wealthy, even if it was all acquired above board, aren't great. In Osteen's case, I wish he'd preach the gospel more, instead of just saying a lot of cool stuff

A lot of people put themselves forward as figures of veneration and have to possess a degree of charisma to be successful at it. Most of them seem to come undone with scandals. I'd prefer to be quietly religious than risk God's ire by misrepresenting him and bringing ministry into disrepute.
