Help Kiddy Choose a Church

[Dr Strangelove]

[Q=Imran Siddiqui;5747796]Plenty of big time preachers, such as T.D. Jakes and Joel Osteen, still like to use it, though.[/Q] Jakes, Copeland, and others are still around but are no big deal now. Osteen? That's more the "Jesus likes you and wants you to be his buddy and maybe he'll give you some of his stuff if you hang around him" than the real prosperity doctrine types.

Don't forget Pat Robertson's organization.


This pic was taken late in 2008 during the economic crisis. The woman by the bull is a prominent charismatic / Christian profitess frequently figured on Robertson's show. The people are a prayer group, and yes, they are there on Wall Street, being filmed for Robertson's show as they pray to God for more mammon.

People like that give the rest of us a bad name.

Isn't Mammon the Golden Bull?

Protestants are weird. I stopped in at a neighborhood church today. It is a block away from my house but I've never been after living here for 8 years.

I swear, more people came up to me after the service to try and talk and encourage me to stick around than have come up to me in 8 years at my regular Catholic church.

Sure, that might cut both ways. Catholics are cold & unwelcoming, protestants (Presbyterians) are kind of desperate. Either way I was just trying to make it to the exit and a dozen people swarmed me. Fresh meat! haha.

Just funny, the contrast. Different strokes...

It's probably more the fact of the size of the church. Smaller churches are more friendly.

That is an incredibly embarassing picture for anyone who professes to be a practicing Christian (or, for that matter, a practicing Jew or Muslim). Moses is not pleased.

Well that's sort of Pat Robertson's specialty, and yet he stays in business.

Is that a golden idol? Close enough.

It's the statue of the golden bull on Wall Street.
