Televangelists are greedy preachers who love bright lights, TV cameras and huge congregations that they never have to meet personally -- unless, of course, that person is rich and/or powerful. They often complain of the unholiness of liberals while convincing poor people to send in their life savings in the hopes of gaining eternal salvation. They tend to avoid the unwashed rank-and-file unless they can profit monetarily from the meeting. They want everybody to be good Christians -- a word that means "Christ-like" -- even though Jesus never wore a Rolex or a $2500 suit, nor did He live in a 10,000-plus square foot estate on the beach, all paid for by contributions from gullible faithful people who believe that every Bible-thumping sociopath preacher is their "Get Out of Hell Free" Card as honest and God-fearing as they are.
