First Marc Savage, now Joel Osteen ? Who's next, Maury and/or Jerry Springer ?

I know nothing of Osteen's politics, but I for one have little use for TV evangelists.

edit to add: sorry to sound so harsh. I don't care for tv evangelists, but I just listened to the 2 pertinent sections of Osteen's remarks and they are on the mark. At least here, good for you, Joel.

Maury and Jerry Springer would be a great left balance to Savage on Osteen. Though I suspect that a guy like Osteen would resent any connections with left or right.

I posted have posted two messages lately that used controversial figures as sources. I intentionally put the times on the video where you could hear specifically what I was referring to. It was not my intent to go political or religious with these posts.

I never took offense in the least.

I understand totally... that's why I edited my comment.

Dave Barry once said, "If there really is a God who created the entire universe with all of its glories, and He decides to deliver a message to humanity, He will not use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle."

I deeply resent the slander of rock stars, movie stars, media personalities and politicians.

BTW, Osteen is known for not being very religious. His sermons are more pep talks than religion. You'll notice there is no cross anywhere, etc. His dad was the same way.
