So how is that again Joel.
"It starts ... with the vision that you have to believe that God can help you to get out of debt to fulfill your dreams," Osteen said. "I don't think anything is going to happen if you don't believe, so I think that's where you start."
Being poor, unemployed, underfed is somehow the unfortuante faithful's fault for not believing. Joel, you're a dick.

What's next from CNN....Benny Hinn will save you from medical debt? CNN for some time has been stepping out of the closet as a cross-dressing National Enquirer news source.

Ever since they had to compete for ratings.

When news has to make money, it is no longer news.

We have had nothing but tabliods for more than a decade now.

In other words, debt relief works just like The Secret, instead of sending positive vibes to "The Universe" you send them to god.

You can bet if they are on TV they are crooks. Very few exceptions.

More and more, these TV evangelists are turning their services into stage productions intended to separate their congregations from whatever coin-of-the-realm they might have about them.

But it's nothing new, really. The Catholics have been about it for nearly 2,000 years. Osteen is merely following in the footprints of the successful, albeit with the jawbone of an ass rather than crackers.
