Every once in a while I watch the television evangelists to see what is new. Send me your money and you will go to heaven.

They often teach that their believers are good and everyone else is not. Some of these fine people do not practice what they preach. I cannot understand why someone who professes to be a “Christian”, condemns others.

Television evangelists remind me of the present federal administration. They have an agenda but it seems to be self serving and excludes reality and humanity.

>>Falwell and Robertson have convinced themselves that when a hurricane hit Virginia Beach (Robertson's neck of the woods), there's no meaning to it, and that when a hurricane fails to hit Orlando as predicted in retribution for Disney's equal rights policies for gays, there's no meaning to it, and that when AIDS devastates the (straight) population of Africa, or 6 million innocent Jews and 3 million innocent Cambodians are exterminated, God merely works in mysterious ways. But when religious fanatics crash planes into the World Trade Center because they believe it will take them to a special place in heaven, this is not caused by a fanatic religious certitude greater in degree but not entirely dissimilar from their own. Rather they conclude that it is caused, at least in part, because people like me have made God mad. (Tobias is gay).
