Watch the vid about televangelists it's funny but also sad. I find it so hard to believe anyone would put their faith in those snake oil salesmen, asking for private jets. incredible.

They ask for some pretty ballsy stuff.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
--- There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
But televangelists are real not a cartoon

Well, IDK that I'd go -that- far......
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
How novel, greed justified through jesus. Who knew?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
My former Church had started preaching something like the prosperity gospel when I stopped going. I think at some point, long ago the Church fabricated their version of tithing. In the OT (the only place it's defined) it's a tithe of food, applies to the food producers and traders only, the people of Israel only (Jews), was to be eaten by the tither, the poor and sometimes Levites.
I'd wager most preachers aren't Levites. Tithing is %60-80 fabricated if the Bible itself weren't %100 fabricated. A lot of Christians don't care much for welfare but they don't mind giving their money to a Church that isn't giving them a useful service.

It makes them feel better about all the bad shit they think they do. I don't know why they don't just buy an ounce of dro like a normal human being..but hey, different strokes and all that.
Intangible goods and services is a great racket. The overhead is low and the customers aren't very demanding. You can make just about anything worth more by adding the intangible. A 5cent printout becomes a "prayer mat". A string of mardi gras beads, blessed, becomes somehow holy; uttering a cantrip over a cracker justifies a yearly salary.......etc etc etc.

"God loves you, and he needs money. Lots and lots of money!"
Profit be upon him.

I sometimes think in one sense this could be a modern American version of potlatch.
