Would you buy a used religion from this man?

One of the things that has gone wrong for Christianity throughout the Western world is its adulteration with non-Christian, anti-Christian poobah. And no one has done more to adulterate it than good ol’ grinnin’, gruntin’, Joel Osteen.

Hank Hanegraaff (“The Bible Answer Man” on Christian radio) skinned Osteen alive in this little book he wrote in 2014. You can read it in a sitting. It’s important because, if you think about it, you very likely know someone who’s been listening to Joel Osteen and thinks he’s the bee’s knees.

Shame on us who never read the Bible and don’t know what it says. Shame on us who do know, but never speak up to defend it. Shame on the Church for letting itself be thinned out and eroded.

We really do have to do better.

‘Osteen’s Blather Factory’ (2014)

Would you buy a used car from this man? Really?

I wonder what God thinks of so-called preachers telling idiotic fish-stories in His name.

Osteen’s Blather Factory

False prophets have always been with us. You can find them in the Old Testament and in the New, and today on TV and in the social media. They thrive on Biblical ignorance and illiteracy.

But how Osteen gets away with the tall tales that he tells–oh, horrors, I don’t think I want to know.

Today’s Howler–Sun-Gazing

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Natural News (May 25) sent us an article that posed the question, “Can ancient ‘sun-gazing’ therapy help reactivate a calcified pineal gland?”

Well, I dunno… I lost interest in that particular article when I saw a link to an earlier article about Ending World Hunger through sun-gazing ( http://www.naturalnews.com/024256_sun_gazing_food_life.html ).

Sun-gazing? Also known as staring at the sun. There followed a Joel Osteen-type urban legend about NASA studying this wise yogi from India whose many years of sun-gazing allowed him to live without ever having to eat. Apparently he’d learned how to photosynthesize, like a plant.

This, said the sage, is how you end world hunger: everybody stare at the sun, and by and by nobody will need any food anymore.

Okay, you don’t just walk outside at high noon and stare directly into the sun until, in a few minutes, you go blind. Oh, no, no! You’ve got to work up to it gradually, until you can keep your eyes fixed on the sun for 44 minutes–not 43, not 45, and don’t ask me ’cause I don’t know–with no ill effects.

WARNING: Please, folks, do not try this! Even if you honestly do think it might End World Hunger. Or Homophobia. Or Income Inequality. It might even be Real Spiritual.

But whatever else it is, it’s a sure-fire way to damage your eyes.

Oh, the crap people gobble up, once they’ve cast away belief in God!
