And if there was a God, these guys would get turned into pillars of salt!

Funny thing is I live in a Catholic country but, when I had telly at home, there weren't any of those programs on air. There are people preaching on the streets in the center of Dublin, which I find annoying.

Fully agree, they almost make me wish there was a hell.

It often makes me laugh how the major Abrahamic Religions and the innumerable Sects, etc, ALL argue endlessly about whose God is the only, the One True God and yet not one of them can tender up even one iota of irrefutable evidence what-so-ever to support their claim in any way, shape nor form.

But, but, but they can save us at such a reasonable monetary cost

I have to admit, they did play a rather large role in my deconversion... Especially Pat Robertson and the 700 Club. When I still believed, I was convinced that he was actually Satan in disguise.

When I was a kid my step-dad made me stop watching Bishop Fulton J. Sheen on TV. He said I could not watch that coz we were not Catholic.

They are full of platitudes and other stuff.

funny you should mention that. i don't make a habit of morning tv, but i hit creflo blah blah whatever it is and the driver jumped out of the golf bag!

Fleecing the sheep!!!

Not sure about god but they certainly prove Jesus is a myth. After all Dad/Son/Whatever was pretty nasty in the OT and they love that fire and brimstone stuff

Yeah, practically everything in life should make people (who can think for themselves) doubt the existence of god(s), but that's a big one that I'd say is a little tongue in cheek but right up there. It's a little like the hold that certain people in high level political positions have on their followers though, so they'd be the last to see it.

Hucksters, snake oil salesmen, these words fit them, but what they really are is Predatory on the most troubled & usually poorest of people.
If there really were a God, they would shrivel into a pile of gunk the first time they preyed with their victims!

One would think.

They are slick and seductive and they use hypnotic tricks to sell their product.
One of the speakers at the Atheist Convention said “Religions convince you that you’re poisoned and then offer you the homeopathic remedy“
I wish I could remember who it was

Televangelists and their big fat bank accounts.

How about Joel Osteen? He spews the same garbage every week.
