Another Embarrassing Televangelist

I'm not going to stand in judgment of Paul Crouch who is being accused of covering up a sexual encounter with a former employee, but even if he is totally innocent of the charges brought against him, he and his wife, Jan, are still an embarrassment to me and many other Christians.

I've been embarrassed by Paul and Jan Crouch since the first time I ever saw their gaudy, gilded, 18oo's style bordello TV soundstage. And what's the deal with Jan's pink hair? I'm also embarrassed that so many people find them to be inspiring enough to send them millions of dollars each year. I don't get it! Why not send your money to the local orphanage or how about helping out some widows in your local community. Get real Christians! These glitzy charlatans are about as Christlike as the Pharisees of Christ's era who lived to be praised by men...O' sure, they were religious! But religion is nothing if it is antithetical to the teachings of Jesus. It's time to wake up, Christians!

Benny Hinn is also an embarrassment. I spend so much time trying to figure out the beginning and the end of his hair that I never hear his message. And why is he always knocking people over? Christ healed hundreds, if not thousands of people and didn't knock ANYone down!

Robert Tilton, yet, another, obnoxious televangelist, although very embarrassing, is extremely entertaining to watch, especially when you turn the volume all the way down and imagine him having severe flatulence.

The number of people who have been turned off to Christianity by these high dollar entertainers must be incalculable. How unfortunate!

Televangelists come and go, and real Christianity is almost always better served when they just go away.
