Which is why there's the third category: Asshole.

Joel Osteen is an asshole.  Either he knows what the fuck he's doing, and is taking advantage of people's faith and buying mansions, and therefore is a Ginormous Asshole.  Or he doesn't realize he's taking advantage of people's faith, and thinks buying mansions is what god really wants him to do, and therefore a Ginormous Ashsole.
