fuck all this bullshit above.
people have every right to be religious and gain some kind of benefit from watching preachers wither online or off.
personally i'm not religious and i find the evangelists i've ever seen on tv to be 2nd hand car salesmen (ie: benny hinn / jimmy swaggart) but that's me not them.
people need an open mind. to listen to view expressed and see them for partial truths or bullshit. certainly anyone who's read anything about jonestown would be amazed like myself at the power he held over people even from his early days as a preacher/creator of peoples temple.
the problem i have is the immediate rally call of arms against them. surely you can see the irony in a bunch of people agreeing to broad truths as ridiculous - on both sides. here we're against, there they're for, on and on.
also, faith healers and other bullshit munchers are not all preachers in the same way that 400kg kkk inbred fucks are not all middle americans.
if you're not into it then allow those that are to be in the same way that you would expect the right to not have to believe or agree.

- neither cancel the other out though. i believe in both. not everything needs to have 'sides'airey
- it's the ideal that there's clear answers to everything that's put the world in the shitter in many cases.airey
- i could, of course, be wrong.airey
