    That's a great description.

    Its hard to balance spiritual and material life.

    Me personally I don't think there is a blurred line on the purpose of Christianity. Jesus wants to give you salvation. Not a new job or new car.

    That being said I'm like 99.99% of the rest of the world in that I want to be comfortable and enjoy material things this world has to offer. I'm not religious so I don't struggle internally about this

    We are all gonna die one day. When I'm dead I want to be gone

    Here is the strange thing . . . .
    I suspect more of this money gets to Houston Victims of Harvey
    than the dollars given to the Red Cross

    That's not a high bar. Admittedly, I didn't think it would be as bad, but the bullshit shey feed you for collecting is face-palm worthy. "Lets sit here, hold hands and pray for your fortunes to return---but for now lets throw some $$ in here."

    So are we doing the shame famous/rich people into donating thing with Tilman Fertita or no? I haven't been able to find info on his donating anything (publicly) to those affected by the Hurricane. Maybe I missed when that happened. If anyone has that info, please post and correct me on this. Thx

    Much appreciated. I figured I would be wrong as to Tilman donating to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts but I just didn't come across any announcement on such.
    Thx

    As someone that grew up going to a fairly orthodox Catholic Church. I find those kind of videos disturbing in a way. Whatever positivity that comes out of it, great. That's coming from someone that is not Christian in any way now though. I just try my best to be a good person.

    If there is a god what are the chances it would like people like Olsteen and the pope making money from people??

    let's be fair, he doesn't deserve all this criticism for a just one time poor judgment .
