Role Models

[Spongebob]

1) I don't care if it's morally bankrupt. But it's not really "morally bankrupt" anyway.

2) I always used to pray traditional prayers, meaning ones that had already been written. Rarely ever would I pray off the top of my head. I suppose it gave me some peace of mind.

1) So you consider yourself a "godly" or "spiritual" person, but you don't care about morals?  And how is it NOT morally bankrupt anyway?  Let's say you see a nice old lady sitting in a park.  You walk up to her and give her some sob story and con $100 bucks off her.  You don't consider that immoral or unethical?  Change the circumstances to anything you want, my point is that you are basically saying that being dishonesty and lying to get something you want is ethical?  I can tell you that this is counter to what most atheists believe.

2)  Joel Osteen's message is that is you are a good Christian and you pray hard enough, you'll receive pretty much anything you want.  Do you believe that?
