What a weird thing.
For the most prominent amongst them it's foremost a lucrative business. The Pat Robertsons make millions by selling shit to their viewers. I'm not sure what they believe, but money certainly is the god they put before the jealous one.
This is especially true with those preaching the prosperity gospel, like Osteen. "Buy my shit, and I'll give you empty platitudes that you'll naively think will lead you to the kind of wealth I currently enjoy!"
